	Royal Scottish Navy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Royal Scottish Navy (or Old Scots Navy) was the navy of the Kingdom of Scotland from its foundation in the 11th century until its merger with the Royal Navy in 1707.
		This vessel, the "navis immanis et fortissima", was ultimately lost on the coast of Northumberland.
		In the Third Anglo-Dutch War, fought from 1672 to 1674, the policy of levying Scots seamen for the English navy was continued.

		In addition to this company of royal and semi-royal aspirants to power and place, there were also families whose ambitions sprang from their vast estates which conferred upon them great wealth in rentals and great strength in the number of their tenants who could be soldiers in their lord's interest.
		Scottish support was given to, and welcomed by, Denmark under pressure from Swedish enemies; to Guelders, against the Hapsburgs of Austria and, of course, to France, enemy of England and England's allies, Spain and Austria.
		A change in Scottish attitudes certainly seemed to be indicated by the marriage in 1503 of James and Margaret Tudor, daughter of Henry VII.

	United Kingdom: Royal Navy
		Henceforth the White Ensign was reserved to the Royal Navy; the Blue Ensign undefaced to the Royal Naval Reserve and defaced with the appropriate departmental or teritorial badge to government service; and the Red Ensign to the 'merchant navy' (as the term is in Britain).
		The Queen's Regulations for the Royal Navy, (London: HMSO, 1967) provides at paragraph 1210 that "In a fleet establishment commissioned as one of H.M. ships and similarly commanded, the masthead pennant is to be flown at the head of the flagstaff wherever fitted." From the context, "similarly commanded" means "commanded by a naval officer".
		The Colours of Dominion Navies were the same as those of the Royal Navy except for the Royal Indian Navy, which had GRI [George Rex Imperator] as the Cypher, instead of GRV or later GRVI.

		The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite goes so deeply into the past for much of its symbolism and philosophy that its origins are lost in the mists of antiquity from which emerges history.
		The Scottish Rite is sometimes called Continental Masonry because it had its origin from the Rites practiced on the Continent of Europe which later crystallized into the Scottish Rite through the constitutions of 1761, 1762 and 1786.
		Scottish Rite degrees usually are, and always should be when possible, put on in costume land by carefully trained casts.

	The Royal Navy
		The Royal Navy has risen to become, in funding terms, the most senior of Britain's armed forces, with the RAF in second place: the Army has been relegated to third place, as its numbers have been reduced sharply, though its remaining units are among the best in the world.
		For many years, the Navy had been seen both as weakening, and inefficient in some ways: the discovery that by the 1990s the RN had more admirals than warships was seen as typical, rather than a scandal.
		The Manta is the Royal Navy's standard lightweight homing torpedo, a 324mm diameter, 600-lb weapon powered by high-power batteries at a speed "in excess of fifty knots for durations exceeding eight minutes".

	Royal Navy Testing Sonar Blamed For Mass Whale Deaths
		But the LFA sonar tested at the Royal Navy's British Underwater Testing and Evaluation Centre (Butec) at the Kyle of Lochalsh, near Skye, has been blamed for disturbing whales and causing internal bleeding and disorientation.
		A series of mass strandings of whales coinciding with military exercises across the world's oceans has led to legal action in the US and calls by British environmentalists to ban the use of the powerful sonar device, which emits sounds loud enough to be heard hundreds of miles away across the ocean.
		After it emerged that the US navy was testing the LFA around the American coastline, claiming its effects did not have 'significant biological impact' on the breeding or migration of whales, the environmental lobby went to law.
