Momsen lung
| Морской словарь |
A submarine breathing apparatus which serves as a gas mask if toxic fumes arise while submerged. it also allows its wearer to breathe normally while escaping from a sunken boat and, once on the surface, serves as a life preserver. it was developed in the 1930s by lieutenant (later vice admiral) charles b. momsen, usn, in conjunction with chief gunner’s mate clarence l. tibbals and frank m. hobson, a civilian employee of the bureau of ships. the guided missile destroyer uss momsen (ddg- 92) is named in momsen’s honor. the device was clumsy to use, and the royal navy adopted an apparatus- free escape technique in which the sailor would exhale during ascent in order to keep expanding air from rupturing the lungs.

Lung, английский
- One of two organs of respiration in the body into which air is sucked when a person breathes (note: for other terms referring to the lungs, see words beginning with bronch-, broncho-, pneum-, pneumo-, pneumon-, pneumono-, pulmo-.) comment: the two lungs are situated in the chest cavity, protected by the ribcage. the heart lies between the lungs. the right lung has three lobes, the left lung only two. air goes down into the lungs through the trachea and bronchi. it passes to the alveoli where its oxygen is deposited in the blood in exchange for waste carbon dioxide which is exhaled (gas exchange). lung cancer can be caused by smoking tobacco, and is commonest in people who are heavy smokers.
- [a corruption of allonge]. a pass or thrust with a sword; a shove with a boarding-pike.

Lieutenant, английский
[1] a deputy or substitute (latin locum tenens = in place of ). [2] a junior naval or military officer. [3] used in combination with another military title denotes an officer of the next lower rank (e.g., lieutenant-general). this is one of the oldest military titles, and in naval use can be traced back to the twelfth century when a sailing master had full command of the ship, while the captain was responsible for embarked soldiers, with a non-commissioned lieutenant as his military deputy. by about 1580 the captain had assumed command of the ship, with the master as a subordinate responsible for shiphandling and navigation. the lieutenant was expected to replace the captain in case of death or incapacitation, but was still non-commissioned, being appointed with no official rank. some 50 years later, naval lieutenants had evolved beyond their purely military role to become professional commissioned sea officers. in about 1677, shortly after his appointment as secretary of the admiralty, samuel pepys introduced formal examinations which had to be passed to qualify for a third lieutenant’s commission. thereafter advancement depended entirely on seniority. third and second lieutenants each had specific shipboard duties in addition to their prime responsibilities of standing watch and commanding a division of guns in battle (see separate entry for first lieutenant). in the days of rated warships, a first-rate normally carried seven to nine lieutenants (one first, one or two seconds, and five or six thirds). the complement diminished with the vessel’s rating (for example a third-rate had five lieutenants, while a sixth rate had only two). nowadays, a naval lieutenant is senior to lieutenant (jg) or sublieutenant, and junior to lieutenant commander. at its inception in 1775, the continental navy essentially adopted the then current royal navy rank structure, including that of lieutenant (see table 15). an army or marine lieutenant is senior to second lieutenant and junior to captain. pronunciation is loo-tenant in america. until world war ii all british commonwealth navies said let-enant, but the influx of temporary non-career officers overwhelmed that tradition and substituted the army’s lef-tenant, the former pronunciation being retained only by the canadian armed forces maritime command. lieutenant-at-arms: formerly, a warship’s most junior lieutenant, responsible for assisting the master- at-arms in training seamen to handle small arms.

Money for old rope, английский
Old worn-out line had many shipboard uses and this phrase—meaning to get something for nothing—has nautical origins. after being picked apart, the yarn made oakum for plugging the seams of a wooden vessel; or could be used like cotton wool to make earplugs when exercising the guns; or be stashed near the heads for use as toilet paper. beyond these, old rope was useless to sailors, but some of them discovered that the surplus could be sold for cash to manufacturers of rag-paper.
Mollymawk, английский
