Public health service corps, английский
This service evolved from the united states marine hospital service. its commissioned officers wear united states navy uniform, and rank insignia identical to that of naval officers with unique and distinctive corps devices. two different sets of rank titles are used. most common are the standard naval ranks, but there are also titles that identify the specialty of the officer. for example, a commander (o-5) is also a “senior surgeon,” and the head of the corps, known as the “surgeon general,” is a vice admiral (o-9).
Proximity fuse, английский
