	Galvanic battery with replenishable electrodes and/or electrolyte for extended battery operation - Patent 5536592
		This invention relates to the construction of a galvanic battery in which the anode and/or cathode are supplied from an elongated strip of tape connected to form an endless loop and arranged in segmented sections to provide discrete periods of battery operation separated by controlled periods of dormancy in battery operation.
		The galvanic battery cell of the present invention is constructed to provide operator control over the introduction and replenishment of the supply of electrode material and to provide, when necessary, a supplemental supply of electrolyte to extend the storage life of the battery for an extended period.
		In a preferred embodiment of the invention battery operation is initiated by controlling the introduction of the anode to the electrolyte compartment of the battery housing using a strip of inactive material connected to the elongated tape in the form of a leader.

		Operational maneuver from the sea is an amphibious operation that seeks to use the sea as an avenue for maneuvering against some operational-level objective.
		What distinguishes operational maneuver from the sea is the use of the sea as a means of gaining operational advantage, as an avenue for friendly movement that is simultaneously a barrier to the enemy, and as a means of avoiding disadvantageous engage- ments.
		Operational maneuver is as integral to sustained operations ashore as it is to operational maneuver from the sea.

	Safeshore Marine Galvanic Isolators
		Galvanic Isolators (zinc savers) prevent destructive galvanic corrosion of anodes,zincs,magnesiums,shafts,propellers and all underwater fittings created by the use of marina shorepower connections.Damage through galvanic currents can extend to engine components and internal fittings.
		Fitting our high quality marine galvanic isolator will stop all galvanic current flow through the shore power earth (green) ground wire connecting cable whilst maintaining safety on board ensuring rcd and mcb circuit breaker devices operate as normal under fault conditions.
		Galvanic isolation offers protection from destructive galvanic currents on both your own and your neighbour's vessels (if you don't have one installed then your neighbour is probably using your anodes!).Zinc losses, metal fatigue, cathodic deterioration and electrolysis are controlled by this easy fit device.Cathodic protection is achieved with very little financial outlay!

	Simulation of Electrochemical Noise Due to Metastable Pitting (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Design equations for discharge current, the emf of a galvanic battery (the potentials of separate electrodes), the corrosion currents of each electrode, the values of the emf of the external polarization of electrodes (which eliminate the corrosion of one separate electrode as well as that of all electrodes together) were obtained.
		during the storage and in the course of the operation of the galvanic element, anions (a1) and cations (c1) are not implanted into the film (c2a2).
		Thus, the emf of a galvanic element (the electrode potential) is not equal to the ordinary difference of the electrode potentials of the anode and cathode (the difference of the electrode potentials of the working electrode and reference electrode).

		The agency charged with developing the program of Allied military operations and allocating the resources of the two nations was the Combined Chiefs of Staff (CCS), which was composed of the principal military advisers of President Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
		Finally, the British suggested that the effect of any extension of the Pacific war on overall strategy should be considered by the CCS before actual operations were begun, a sentence to this effect was inserted, and the document approved.

	Operation Galvanic (2): The Battle for Makin, November 1943
		The attack on the Gilbert Islands (formerly a British possession) would be a joint Marine and Army operation and initially involved Tarawa and Apamama in the island chain and the island of Nauru, which lay almost 400 miles to the west.
		The division began planning its part in Galvanic, the assault on Nauru (codenamed Operation Kourbash), but Spruance changed its objective from Nauru (a relatively well defended objective that would require more troops than there was available troop transports to lift) to the Japanese seaplane base at Makin.
		Rehearsals for the operation began in October with the Army units of the Northern Attack Force practising amphibious assaults in Hawaii while the Southern Attack Force (2nd Marine Division) practised in the New Hebrides.

	Operation Galvanic: Remembering Tarawa 60 Years Later (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The Navy dubbed the plan “Operation Galvanic” and scheduled it for November 1943.
		Operation Galvanic was a truly joint endeavor to seize both Tarawa and Makin at a time when air, sea, and land forces had little experience with integration.
		Despite considerable interest in Operation Galvanic’s controversies, its chief significance resides not in the debate over Tarawa’s questionable strategic value or even the tactical lessons learned there but rather the broader institutional impact the Battle of Betio made on the Marine Corps.

		Although the casualty list shocked the American public, the operation was nonetheless a success, for the capture of Makin, Tarawa, and four lesser atolls had neutralized the entire Gilberts group and advanced American might across some 700 miles of ocean.
		The operations against the Gilberts were the most damaging blows that could be struck against the enemy with the resources then available to Admiral Nimitz.
		Ralph Smith, however, was quick to admit that an amphibious operation was a type of combat in which the concern of the Navy for its ships might conflict with the scheme of maneuver ashore.

		The operation was designed to gain control of the Gilberts and by so doing to smooth the way into the Marshalls, improve the security and shorten the line of communication with Australia, and support operations in the South Pacific, Southwest Pacific, and Burma areas by exerting pressure on the Japanese.
		The number of vehicles was to have been reduced to the minimum necessary for operations on an island the size of Betio, but as planning progressed the number of trucks, tanks, half-tracks, LVTs, and trailers thought vital for the attack continued to increase.
		Operations of this sort would be possible only if the defending garrison were strong enough to hold the attackers at bay until Japanese aircraft, submarines, and surface craft could reach the area.

		During the battle, he shot down at least one Japanese aircraft before he ran out of ammunition and was ordered to abandon ship.
		In the spring of 1943, Miller was assigned to Liscome Bay (CVE-56) and was still serving as a messman there when the carrier was sunk in the Gilbert Islands during Operation Galvanic on November 24, 1943.
