Tiger I is the common name of a
German heavy tank developed in
1942 and used in
World War II. The final official
German designation was
Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf, often shortened to
Tiger. It was an answer to the unexpectedly formidable
Soviet armour encountered in the initial months of
Operation Barbarossa, particularly the
T-34 and the
KV-1. The
Tiger I design gave the
Wehrmacht its first tank mounting the 88 mm gun, which had previously demonstrated its effectiveness against both air and ground targets. During the course of the war, the
Tiger I saw combat on all
German battlefronts. It was usually deployed in independent tank battalions, which proved to be quite formidable. The tank was given its nickname
Tiger listen by
Ferdinand Porsche, and the
Roman numeral was added after the later
Tiger II entered production. The initial official
German designation was
Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausführung H (
‘Panzer VI version H’, abbreviated
PzKpfw VI Ausf. H), but the tank was redesignated as
PzKpfw VI Ausf. E in March
1943. It also had the ordnance inventory designation
SdKfz 181. Today, only a handful of
Tigers survive in museums and exhibitions worldwide. Perhaps the most notable specimen is the
Bovington Tank Museum's Tiger 131, currently the only one restored to running order. -

O PZKPFW VI, conhecido como
Tigre e sua variação o
Tigre II ou Tigre Real, foi o fruto do projeto entre os concorrentes
Porsche and Henschel, encomendado pelo governo alemão,devido à necessidade de um blindado que fosse um rival à altura do
T-34, que era muito superior aos
Panzer III e IV. O modelo de Henschel foi o escolhido depois de uma série de competições e acabou sendo encomendado pelo governo alemão. -

A shuttlecraft, in the Star Trek fictional universe, is a smaller type of ship, usually capable of atmospheric transport, detachable from a larger starship's shuttlebay. Its role on starships is analogous to the use of naval helicopters on modern warships of the present day, as shuttlecraft often possess their own weapons and intelligence capabilities, and undertake a variety of missions—such as scouting/reconnaissance, search & rescue operations, and on a few rare occasions to fly ahead of the mother ship to provide forward navigational sensory data, map a safe flight path, and to provide course corrections to the mother ship. Most starships have shuttle bays for the launching and docking of shuttles as well as to serve as vehicle hangars, similar to the way large naval ships are often equipped with helicopter pads and aircraft hangars. - Wikipedia
