Anglico, английский
Air & naval gunfire liaison company. anglo-german naval agreement: in june 1935, without consulting the other signatories of the treaty of versailles, britain attempted to appease hitler by negotiating a bilateral agreement giving germany the right to build a navy beyond the limits of the treaty. the total tonnage of the kriegsmarine (fighting navy) was allowed to increase to 35 percent of that of the royal navy, and remain permanently at that level. more significantly, britain agreed that germany could build a u-boat fleet equal to the total submarine tonnage of the commonwealth—a decision it would regret (see battle of the atlantic).
Angled deck, английский
Developed by captain (later rear admiral) d. r. f. campbell rn, and adopted by the usn, the angled flight deck has enormous operational advantages. it allows aircraft to be launched while others are landing, and it clears the forward section of the flight deck for use as an aircraft park. it also allows aircraft missing the arrester wires to take off and fly around for another try—previously they would either crash into a barrier, or miss it to destroy parked aircraft or injure flight deck personnel.
