Bur, английский
- Burroughs
- [the anglo-saxon burh]. a word connected with fortification in german, as in almost all the teutonic languages of europe. in arabic the same term, with the alteration of a letter, burj, signifies primarily a bastion, and by extension any fortified place on a rising ground. this meaning has been retained by all northern nations who have borrowed the word; and we, with the rest, name our towns, once fortified, burghs or boroughs.

Bureau of weapons
Bureau of ordnance, английский
- Главное управление вооружения вмс
- In 1862, the functions of twenty-year-old u.s. navy bureau of ordnance and hydrography were split between separate and independent bureaus of ordnance and navigation, with the former responsible for the procurement, storage, and deployment of all naval weaponry. during the early 20th century, the bureau’s development of guided missiles led to friction with the bureau of aeronautics , which was responsible for the development of naval aircraft, including pilotless (unmanned) “drones.” in 1959, the navy decided to end the conflict by merging the two organizations into a new bureau of naval weapons. this, in turn, was disestablished in 1966 and replaced by the naval air systems command. see also board of ordnance.
