Observation balloon, английский
An aerial platform for intelligence gathering and artillery spotting, consisting of a fabric envelope filled with hydrogen gas, tethered by a steel cable attached to a winch that reeled an ob- 223 observation server to the desired height and down again at the end of an observation session. military observation balloons first appeared in 1794 at the battle of fleurus, were used in the american civil war and franco- prussian war, reaching their zenith in world war i, during which naval observation balloons were used to spot submarines and direct the fire of a battleship’s main armament. they were also used for anti-submarine work during world war ii.
Oared boats, английский
The small craft, generically called “rowing boats” by landlubbers, are differentiated into several categories by seamen: • rowing boats have fixed thwarts (seats) and no coxswain. • pulling boats are similar, except that they are steered by a coxswain. • sculling boats are equipped with seats that move. • stern-scullers are propelled by a standing rower driving a single oar over the stern.
