United States R - class submarine The " R " - class submarines were a class of United States Navy submarine s active from 1918 until 1945 . The " R - 1 " thru " R - 20 " boats built by Fore River Shipyard and Union Iron Works were known as the " R - 1 class " subs . These single - hull submarines were structurally very similar to the preceding " O - class " , but with the addition of 21 - inch torpedo tubes and a fixed ( rather than retractable ) gun mount . Boats " R - 21 " to " R - 27 " , which were slightly smaller and faster than the R - 1s , were built by Lake Torpedo Boat and are sometimes regarded as a separate class , the " R - 21 class . " These featured a double - hull and had their diving planes more conventionally positioned fore and aft , but retained the characteristic wide stern and 18 - inch torpedo tubes . Electric Boat built four boats for the Peruvian Navy ( R - 1 to R - 4 ) . Built after World War I using materials assembled from cancelled S - class submarines , they were refitted in 1935 – 36 and 1955 – 56 , and renamed " Islay " , " Casma " , " Pacocha " , and " Arica " in 1957 .

Swisscoy The Swisscoy is an association of the Swiss Army in Kosovo . It is provided as part of the KFOR of NATO military mission to promote peace in Kosovo . The association contains a contingent of more than 220 people who are available and funded from Switzerland . The training and equipment of foreign troops is provided by the Center Swissint of the Swiss Army in Stans - Oberdorf . The term Swisscoy ( Swiss Company ) has become misleading , since it has only acted as a single company during deployment in the period 1999 - 2003 . Today , the Swiss team is managed as two companies : one infantry company and one logistics company . There are also several smaller detachments under its OPCON . The total line has a " National Contingent Commander " ( NCC ) with his staff . Places . From 1999 to 2012 , the majority of the association was stationed in a former rubber factory at Suva Reka . ( The so - called " Camp Casablanca " ) The name originates from the white color of the living containers and has been transmitted as radio " Casablanca " , jointly produced by the Swiss , Austrians and Germans . The Camp Casablanca was dissolved in 2012 Switzerland is present in four camps . These include " Camp Film City " ( Pristina ) , " Camp Novo Selo " ( near Metrovica ) , " Field Camp Prizren " ( Prizren ) and in " Camp Bondsteel " ( Urosevac ) . Structure . The Swiss contingent consisted of an infantry company and a logistics company . In addition , there are several imputed smaller detachments known as " OPCON . " After the infantry units were withdrawn in mid - August 2012 , Switzerland was represented only by the logistics company in Kosovo . Tasks . The focus of the logistics company are water treatment , material and fuel supply , camp maintenance , road transport , communication and food supply for Swisscoy . Other important tasks may also include protection of the infantry company , the camp security , the patrol activity and ethnic minorities in Kosovo . The Swiss infantry company was established on February 1 , 2010 . Three Austrian companies were also established at that time ; the Dulje maneuver battalion and Multinational Task Force South ( MNTF ( S ) ) of KFOR was used . Since February 1 , 2010 , the Swiss infantry company has been directly subordinated to the MNBG ( S ) . The infantry was disbanded in mid - August 2012 . Two helicopter s of the type Eurocopter AS332 Super Puma are currently at the MNBG ( S ) for transport tasks . Armament . Before the entry revision of the Military Act in 2001 ( Article 66a MG ) , the Swisscoy soldiers were armed only for self - protection , with military permission of carrying their personal weapon ( gun SIG P220 or assault rifle Stgw 90 ) just outside the camp . When working inside the camp , weapons were assigned to special containers . The new Article 66a MG s was possible in the form of an infantry company to participate in the actual tasks of guarding Battalion . After this the Swisscoy was able to use the Mowag Piranha 8x8APC and the Mowag Duro IIIP .

She was laid down on 21 Apr 1941 , launched on 9 Jan 1942 and commissioned in December 1941 or 9 Jan 1942 ( sources vary ) . " Oberleutnant " Paul Siegmann was her first commanding officer . She was sunk after a collision with " U - 444 " on 6 August 1942 and scuttled on 2 May 1945 . Career . Sinking . " U - 612 " , based in Danzig , was taking part in a comprehensive training programme that had commenced from the time of her commissioning . Her crew were impatient to be at sea and on patrol . On 6 August , " U - 612 " was in her allotted ' square ' in the Bay of Danzig and had dived to a depth of . At 1142 hours , she was struck in the stern by what transpired to be another U - boat - " U - 444 " . " U - 612 " sank rapidly in of water ; the crew were picked up by two other U - boats , one of which was the hapless " U - 444 " . Two men died in the incident . Resurrection . " U - 612 " , under the supervision of some of her officers , was raised after seven days work using a diver and two cranes . She was slowly brought into Danzig harbour , where she was temporarily patched , checked over and the water pumped out . A more thorough inspection in dry - dock revealed that it would take eight to 12 months before she was ready for sea once more . As a result , she spent the rest of the war as a training vessel . She was scuttled on 2 May 1945 . Her original crew had been assigned to another boat .
Lucius Aemilius Regillus Lucius Aemilius Regillus ( fl . c . 190 - 189 BC ) was a Roman admiral and praetor during the war with Antiochus III of Syria . Born to Marcus Aemilius Regillus , much of Lucius Regillus ' s early life and military career is unknown before being appointed commander of Roman naval forces in the Aegean Sea in 190 BC . That same year , supported by a flotilla from Rhodes , Regillus defeated a Syrian fleet commanded by former Carthaginian General Hannibal Barca ( his first , and subsequently last naval battle ) at the Battle of Eurymedon and , after defeating a second Syrian fleet at the Battle of Myonessus secured the Aegean Sea under the control of Rome and its Rhodian and Pergamene allies .

" Lady Betty " was decommissioned on 25 November 1918 and returned to Washburn on 9 December 1918 . It is unclear whether she bore the name " Lady Betty " or " Chatana " after her return to him .
Boeing KC - 97 Stratotanker The Boeing KC - 97 Stratotanker was a United States strategic tanker aircraft based on the Boeing C - 97 Stratofreighter . It was succeeded by the Boeing KC - 135 Stratotanker . Design and development . The KC - 97 Stratotanker was an aerial refueling tanker variant of the C - 97 Stratofreighter ( which was itself based on the B - 29 Superfortress ) , greatly modified with all the necessary tanks , plumbing , and " flying boom . " The cavernous upper deck was capable of accommodating oversize cargo accessed through a very large right - side door . In addition , transferrable jet fuel was contained in tanks on the lower deck ( G - L models ) . Both decks were heated and pressurized for high altitude operations . Operational history . The USAF began operating the KC - 97 in 1950 . It purchased a total of 816 KC - 97s from Boeing , as opposed to only 74 of the C - 97 cargo version . The KC - 97 used piston engines , fueled by aviation gasoline , but it carried jet fuel for its refueling mission . It therefore used independent ( transfer valves ) systems for both types of fuel , and was able to transfer its aviation gas 145 to off - load to the receiver in an emergency ( known as a " SAVE " ) . These tankers were vitally important to the world - wide B - 47 Stratojet strategic operations . An example was the support of Arctic reconnaissance flights from Thule Air Base . While it was an effective tanker , the KC - 97 ' s slow speed and low operational altitude complicated refueling operations with jet aircraft . B - 52 s typically lowered their flaps and rear landing gear to slow the aircraft enough to refuel from the KC - 97 . In addition , a typical B - 52 refueling engagement profile would involve a descent that allowed the aircraft pair to maintain a higher airspeed ( 220 - 240 knots ) . In the early 1960s , the Tactical Air Command added J - 47 jet pods from retired KB - 50 tankers to produce the KC - 97L . The jet pods increased performance and made the KC - 97 more compatible with jet aircraft . In 1956 , SAC began phasing out the KC - 97 in favor of the KC - 135 . KC - 97s continued operating with Tactical Air Command , the Air Force Reserve , and the Air National Guard . The KC - 97 was finally retired completely in 1978 , when the Texas and Utah Air National Guard s exchanged their KC - 97Ls for C - 130 s and KC - 135 s , respectively . Operators . Israel The following USAF wing organizations flew the various KC - 97 models at some time during their existence : Survivors . A number of KC - 97s survive , at least two of which are potentially airworthy : " 52 - 2718 " / N117GA " Angel of Deliverance " operated by the Berlin Airlift Historical Foundation , and N1365N known as " Tanker 97 " and operated until recently as an aerial firefighting airtanker by Hawkins & Powers . Static displays include : In popular culture . The Stratotanker is shown in " Strategic Air Command " , refuelling a B - 47 and in " Bombers B - 52 " refueling B - 52s .
