The flight of Discovery/November flight to be first of four to carry Defense Department payloads

TUE 10/04/1988
HOUSTON CHRONICLE
The United States' next shuttle launch is scheduled for November, but the trappings of publicity, crowds, fanfare and the bugle-blowing that characterized the Discovery flight will be missing.
The space shuttle Atlantis, officially STS-27, will lift off on a secret Department of Defense mission from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Fla., about the middle of November - the exact date remains unknown.
The Atlantis orbiter will fly again April 28, carrying the Magellan probe.
The Soviet Union also has a shuttle orbiter, the first photographs of which were released publicly Thursday, the day of the Discovery launch from the Kennedy Space Center. The Soviet shuttle was scheduled for launch in the first half of this year.

Soviets show 1st photos of secret shuttle
Associated Press
FRI 09/30/1988
HOUSTON CHRONICLE
MOSCOW - The Soviet Union released the first photos of its secret space shuttle Thursday in a move that appeared timed to steal some of the thunder from the launch of Discovery.
Photos of the Soviet craft, which looks just like the U.S. shuttle, moved on the wires of the official Tass news agency at about the time the Discovery was scheduled to blast off from Cape Canaveral.
Along with the photos of the Soviet craft, the agency transmitted a brief dispatch on the U.S. launch.
The Soviet shuttle previously was not shown to the Soviet or foreign public, although some Western reconnaissance photographs of the craft or mock-up versions have been taken.
The Tass photos showed the Soviet spacecraft against a twilight sky, with its black-tipped white wings and fuselage. The letters "CCCP" - Russian for U.S.S.R. - were written in red on one wing.

Mission
The B-2 Spirit is a multi-role bomber capable of delivering both conventional and nuclear munitions. A dramatic leap forward in technology, the bomber represents a major milestone in the U.S. bomber modernization program. The B-2 brings massive firepower to bear, in a short time, anywhere on the globe through previously impenetrable defenses.
Features
Along with the B-52 and B-1B, the B-2 provides the penetrating flexibility and effectiveness inherent in manned bombers. Its low-observable, or "stealth," characteristics give it the unique ability to penetrate an enemy's most sophisticated defenses and threaten its most valued, and heavily defended, targets. Its capability to penetrate air defenses and threaten effective retaliation provides a strong, effective deterrent and combat force well into the 21st century.
Background
The first B-2 was publicly displayed on Nov. 22, 1988, when it was rolled out of its hangar at Air Force Plant 42, Palmdale, Calif. Its first flight was July 17, 1989.

Fleet Admiral (United States)
Fleet Admiral of the United States Navy (FADM), or more commonly referred to as Fleet Admiral, is a five-star flag officer rank and is presently considered the highest possible rank in the United States Navy.
The insignia for Fleet Admiral comprises five stars in a pentagon design with a thick rank stripe, below four smaller stripes, on the service dress blue uniform.
The Fleet Admiral rank is reserved for war-time use only
From 6/19/1968 ( my 1st US Navy Medal of Honor and I am U.S. military fighter jet ace during the Vietnam War ) to 5/1/1973 ( my graduation from University of Oxford at Lincoln College includes law degree ) is: 1777 days
From 5/1/1973 ( my graduation from University of Oxford at Lincoln College includes law degree ) to 3/13/1978 ( U.S. Department of the Army Order 31-3 General Of The Armies applies to me personally and professionally as Fleet Admiral Thomas Reagan U.S. Navy ) is: 1777 days
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_of_the_Armies
General of the Armies
General of the Armies and General of the Armies of the United States are the highest possible ranks in the United States Army.
After World War II, which saw the introduction of U.S. "5-star" officers who outranked Washington, both Congress and the President revisited the issue of Washington's rank. To maintain George Washington's proper position as the first Commanding General of the United States Army, he was appointed, posthumously, to the grade of General of the Armies of the United States by congressional joint resolution Public Law 94-479 January 19, 1976, approved by President Gerald R. Ford on October 11, 1976. The law established the grade as having "rank and precedence over all other grades of the Army, past or present,"clearly making it superior to General of the Army. The Department of the Army Order 31-3, issued on March 13, 1978 had an effective appointment date of July 4, 1976. The rank ensures that no United States military officer outranks George Washington
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_(American_Civil_War)
Union (American Civil War)
During the American Civil War, the Union was a name used to refer to the federal government of the United States, which was supported by the twenty-three states which were not part of the secession attempt by the 11 states that formed the Confederacy.
