Topic: Foxtrot class


  
  Foxtrot class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Foxtrot class was the NATO reporting name of a class of diesel-electric patrol submarines that were built in the Soviet Union.
The Foxtrot class was designed to replace the earlier Zulu class, which suffered from structural weaknesses and harmonic vibration problems that limited its operational depth and submerged speed.
Foxtrots were also built for India (8 units, from 1967 to 1974), Libya (6 units, from 1978 to 1980), and Cuba (3 units, from 1978 to 1983)[1].

 Ship class - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the United States Navy, a class is always named after the lead ship; that is, the first ship of that class to be approved by Congress—almost (but not quite) without exception the ship of the class with the lowest hull number.
In some cases, this has resulted in different class names being recorded in European references from their American counterparts - for example, European references report the Colorado class battleships of the United States Navy as "Maryland-class", since USS Maryland (BB-46) was commissioned over two years before USS Colorado (BB-45).
The Royal Navy occasionally gives all ships of a class names that have something in common—perhaps simply all beginning with the same letter—so that class is known not only by the name of its lead ship, but also by whatever their names have in common.

 Waltz etcetera - our dance classes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
We teach Musicality and Dance as an advanced class, examining and experimenting with the larger phrasing of dance music and other fun stuff, but in all of our classes we encourage students to listen to and be guided by the music, not just in rhythm but in mood and attitude.
However, this class is a great starting point for experienced waltzers who are interested in role reversal (learning the other part); we highly recommend this as one of the very best ways to improve your dancing of your own part.
foxtrot works well with faster music (130 bpm on up), and one-step works well with slower music (100-130 bpm); between those two dances, you can cruise around the floor (or down the supermarket aisle, as some enthusiastic dancers have been known to do) to almost any swing, blues, or other danceable pop tune.
