I don't recognize the BC as a rating or other designation in the Navy. I've tried looking it up on a couple of specialty sites (link below) and don't get a match. There are lots of similar items, but not BC.
No there is not, but there should be!!!!
I only know of the ones in Victoria, Surrey and Abbotsford.
"Navy" is derived from the Latin word "Naves" which means "ship." This was used during the first century BC
The rapid expansion of their navy to 100 warships.
Carthage, until the Romans built on to match, and defeated it.
BC is not a recognized rating. However, it is probably referring to a Boilerman Chief Petty Officer. They would have worked in the engine rooms directing a watch team manning the boilers.
Yes, Capital of BC. The Royal Navy used to be stationed there.
I believe there is one in Kelowna, but not in Vernon, although it is only a short drive down to Kelowna from Vernon (45 minutes)
The sea battle was Salamis, it was not the Athenians, it was a combined Greek fleet which included the Athenian navy.
The Carthaginians had naval bases and trading ports in western Sicily, Sardinia and Ibiza (Balearic Islands). They also acquired Corsica when the naval power of the Etruscans faded. The Carthafginians and Etruscans allied to defeated the Phoecan Greeks in a naval Battle of Alalia off Corsica some time between 540 BC and 535 BC. They agreed that the formers would have control over Sardinia and the latter over Corsica. Etruscan naval power was broken in the Battle of Cumae (off the Naples Bay) in 474 BC when their navy was defeated by the navies of the Greek cities of Cumae and Syracuse.
Generally, it was Athens (with its navy) versus Sparta (with its army). This was a war (from 431 to 404 BC) in which Athens and its allies were defeated by the Peloponnesian League, including Sparta.
BC' + BC' = 2BC'
