  How to get to heaven/eternal life
As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die...
After His death, the Lord's body laid in the grave three days, but praise be to God, it did not remain there.
On the third day Jesus arose from the dead and was seen by over 500 people (I Corin 15:6) before He went back to heaven.

 First World War.com - Who's Who - John Fisher
Admiral John Arbuthnot Fisher (1841-1920), often referred to as the greatest Royal Navy Admiral since Nelson, returned to office as First Sea Lord for a short period before his dramatic resignation over the conduct of the Gallipoli affair led to Winston Churchill's banishment to the political wilderness.
Following a five year stint as the director of naval ordnance and torpedoes, Fisher was appointed in February 1892 to the Admiralty board as Third Sea Lord and controller of the navy.
Persuaded out of retirement by Churchill with war underway against Germany, Fisher replaced Prince Louis of Battenberg as First Sea Lord, a man whom Fisher admired and who had been hounded from office largely by the press for his Germanic background.

 Encyclopedia of Arda: Third Age
The Third Age began with the first overthrow of Sauron by the Last Alliance, and was marked by Isildur's planting of the White Tree in Minas Anor.
The history of the Third Age is in large part the history of the Dúnedain in Gondor and Arnor.
Though both these realms were founded in the late Second Age, it was during the Third that they grew to their greatest heights, and fell to their lowest depths, before being reunited by Aragorn II Elessar.

Alexander, First Lord of the Admiralty, Lord Cunningham of Hyndhope, First Sea Lord, and Rear Admiral Sir Thomas Troubridge, Third Sea Lord visited the United States aircraft carrier Enterprise and the Admiralty flag was hoisted in the ship.
That emblem was first adopted in 1570, and Lord Howard of Effingham flew its streamer from the foretop in the fight against the Spanish Armada.
The Board of the Admiralty would be proud if you would accept the gift of this flag to Enterprise as a token of respect for her gallant record, and as a sincere tribute from a great and historic Navy to the prowess of the comrades-in-arms in the United States fleet.

 Lord Nelson and Sea Power
Thus he is often reckoned as the third son.1 He was a sickly child from the start and grew up small and slender.
He captured an American smuggler in heavy seas after the first lieutenant had failed.6 While he was in the West Indies his uncle Maurice died, leaving him a small sum of money and the heirloom fighting sword of his great-uncle, captain Galfridus Walpole.
It is sadly ironic that Admiral Lord Nelson's life and the lessons he taught have been best appreciated by the navy of a nation that he regarded as a rebellious rabble, while his own beloved fleet abandoned or distorted them even as his broken body was being laid to rest in St. Paul's Cathedral.

Jellicoe, when first sea lord, placed on record the assistance of the greatest value rendered by Backhouse as flag-commander and captain on the staff from August 1914 to October 1915, both as gunnery expert and in the compilation of battle orders, and directed that this notice was to be treated as a mention in dispatches.
It was a critical moment in world affairs, and the first sea lord was immediately plunged into business of the most exacting kind and had to be prepared to give professional advice on issues of major importance.
He was recognized throughout the service as one of the ablest and most eminent sea officers of his time, and his premature death on the eve of the outbreak of the war of 1939-1945 was regarded as a national calamity.

In 1932, Forbes for the third time was sitting in a seat vacated by Backhouse, as Third Sea Lord and Controller, in charge of the design and construction of Royal Navy warships.
Most of the Home Fleet’s cruisers were fine, modern ships, but many of those at sea at the opening of hostilities on the Northern Patrol enforcing the immediately declared blockade of Germany were obsolescent light cruisers of the C and D classes, laid down at the end of the First World War.
In fact, on 8 October Admiral Forbes wrote to Backhouse, the First Sea Lord, that no teleprinter or other landline communication existed at the “base.” He could not even tell the boom operators who controlled the antisubmarine nets guarding the main channel that his ships were proceeding to sea.

From 1905-08 Jackson served as Third Sea Lord and Comptroller of the Navy.
He was selected as the surprise successor to Admiral Fisher upon the latter's spectacular resignation in May 1915 (ironically, given Fisher's known detestation for staff officers).
Despite his cordial (some said insipid) working relationship with First Lord of the Admiralty (and former Prime Minister) Arthur Balfour, Jackson was widely held to be a weak First Sea Lord, overly concerning himself with administrative matters and ineffectually attempting to extend the Dover Barrage.

 THE MILLSTONE Chapter 13
Infuriating as this was, it was the style and tone of his minutes that caused Bridgeman the greatest offence and, by September 1912, the First Sea Lord was actively engaged in gathering adherents to his cause.
According to Bridgeman, the First Lord initially remonstrated with him until, when the Sea Lords threatened to present their grievances to Asquith and, if necessary, the King, Churchill capitulated, broke into tears and acted such that Bridgeman thought he must be ill[39] (an unfortunate comment in view of what was to come).
The First Sea Lord unwittingly provided Churchill with an opening the following month: the depressing struggle with Churchill, combined with recurring bronchitis at the onset of winter, led Bridgeman to write to Battenberg on 25 November that he sometimes felt inclined to give up his post.

He rose to Third Sea Lord and controller of the navy in 1892.
In 1902, a year after he was made full admiral, he received a chance to apply his philosophy as Second Sea Lord of training and recruitment for the Home Fleet.
Severely weakened by his detractors' campaign, he continued to advise another of his critics, First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill, on equipping the navy and on building the Queen Elizabeth class of fast, oil-powered battleships.

The idea was to impose on the sea bed a magnetic field which would actuate the mines by means of heavy electric currents passed through electric cables towed astern by minesweepers.
The most attractive features of the proposal were lightness of the mounting, the sea worthiness of the loaded round and the possibility of firing the pattern of projectiles in a ripple, so that no strengthening of the forecastle would be required.
Lord BIackett is rightly claimed as the wartime father of O. R., but the foster parents of this baby, which was more or less left on the doorstep in 1946, were largely Goodeve and Hicks.
