query: Break on Me is a law.

pos: Break on Me `` Break on Me '' ( stylized as `` Break on Me . '' ) is a song written by Ross Copperman and Jon Nite and recorded by New Zealand-born Australian country music singer Keith Urban . It was released on 23 October 2015 as the second single from his ninth studio album , Ripcord , through Hit Red and Capitol Nashville . The bass-driven ballad was co-produced by Urban with Nathan Chapman and has been deemed a stylistic counterpoint to its funky predecessor `` John Cougar , John Deere , John 3:16 '' . The song is also the second of his career not to have an accompanying music video , after 2010 's `` I 'm In '' .

neg: At-will employment At-will employment is a term used in U.S. labor law for contractual relationships in which an employee can be dismissed by an employer for any reason ( that is , without having to establish `` just cause '' for termination ) , and without warning . When an employee is acknowledged as being hired `` at will '' , courts deny the employee any claim for loss resulting from the dismissal . The rule is justified by its proponents on the basis that an employee may be similarly entitled to leave his or her job without reason or warning . In contrast , the practice is seen as unjust by those who view the employment relationship as characterized by inequality of bargaining power .   At-will employment gradually became the default rule under the common law of the employment contract in most states during the late 19th century , and was endorsed by the U.S. Supreme Court during the Lochner era , when members of the U.S. judiciary consciously sought to prevent government regulation of labor markets . Over the 20th century , many states modified the rule by adding an increasing number of exceptions , or by changing the default expectations in the employment contract altogether . In workplaces with a trade union recognized for purposes of collective bargaining , and in many public sector jobs , the normal standard for dismissal is that the employer must have a `` just cause '' . Otherwise , subject to statutory rights ( particularly the discrimination prohibitions under the Civil Rights Act ) , most states adhere to the general principle that employer and employee may contract for the dismissal protection they choose . At-will employment remains controversial , and remains a central topic of debate in the study of law and economics , especially with regard to the macroeconomic efficiency of allowing employers to summarily and arbitrarily terminate employees .

neg: Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act The Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act ( MICRA ) of 1975 was a statute enacted by the California Legislature in September 1975 ( and signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown in September ) , which was intended to lower medical malpractice liability insurance premiums for healthcare providers in that state by decreasing their potential tort liability .   MICRA 's stated justification , in turn , was to keep healthcare providers as a whole financially solvent , thus lowering the cost of healthcare services and increasing their availability . MICRA 's constitutionality was repeatedly challenged during the 1970s and 1980s , but most of it was eventually upheld as constitutional under rational basis review by the Supreme Court of California or the California Courts of Appeal . Almost all of MICRA is still in effect and still part of California law .

neg: Legal aspects of computing Legal aspects of computing are related to the overlapping areas of law and computing .   The first one , historically , was information technology law ( or IT law ) . ( `` IT law '' should not be confused with the IT aspects of law itself , although there are overlapping issues . ) IT law consists of the law ( statutes , regulations , and caselaw ) which governs the digital dissemination of both ( digitalized ) information and software itself ( see history of free and open-source software ) , and legal aspects of information technology more broadly . IT law covers mainly the digital information ( including information security and electronic commerce ) aspects and it has been described as `` paper laws '' for a `` paperless environment '' .   Cyberlaw or Internet law is a term that encapsulates the legal issues related to use of the Internet . It is less a distinct field of law than intellectual property or contract law , as it is a domain covering many areas of law and regulation . Some leading topics include internet access and usage , privacy , freedom of expression , and jurisdiction .   `` Computer law '' is a third term which tends to relate to issues including both Internet law and the patent and copyright aspects of computer technology and software .

neg: Sentencing Act of 1987 The Sentencing Act of 1987 ( Pub.L . 100-182 ) enacted some changes to the federal sentencing regime in the United States . The legislation amended to permit expressly departures based on circumstances of an exceptional `` kind '' or `` degree . '' The insertion of this new language was described by the manager of the House bill , Representative John Conyers , as `` clarifying '' in nature because it simply made explicit in the law that which was previously described in the Senate Committee Report as implicit and intended . There is evidence that under the new regime , sentences may not have increased as much as expected : although the average prison term for trial sentences increases post‐reforms , there is no systematic increase in the average length of the pleas .   Additionally , the law abolished parole for federal prisoners and created the United States Sentencing Commission . The commission makes the guidelines used by federal judges when sentencing people convicted of a federal crime .   The bill was introduced by Senator Joseph Biden on October 27 , 1987 . It was signed into law on December 7 , 1987 , by President Ronald Reagan .

neg: Legal expenses insurance Legal expenses insurance ( LEI ) , also known as legal protection insurance ( LPI ) or simply legal insurance , is a type of insurance which covers policyholders against the potential costs of legal action brought by or against the policyholder . The concept originated around 1911 as a result of a fatal crash at the famous Le Mans race during which some spectators lost their lives and others were severely injured . When the victims or their families claimed damages from the insurers of the organizers , their claims were repudiated . They then all contributed to a pool which was used to fund collective action against the insurers . They were successful . This gave rise to the first LEI policy being developed in France . Not long after that , a motoring club in Germany called the `` Deutsche Automobil Sportiff '' ( DAS ) increased membership contributions to create a similar pool to pay for the defence of its members charged with traffic related offences . Members of the general public then enquired about joining the scheme . That is when the idea of an insurance available to the general public became firmly established . At present , the DAS of Germany is still the largest legal expenses insurer in the world . It is estimated that they write approximately 50 % of LEI business worldwide . Then follows ARAG , also a German insurer . It is estimated that they write approximately 30 % of global business .   A conflict of interest presents itself if LEI is offered by an insurer that also offers other forms of insurance . As a result , most LEI providers are specialists offering LEI only . Internationally , LEI is represented by a non-profit association called The International Association of Legal Protection Insurers ( RIAD ) www.riad-online.net . It operates independently of the general insurance industry . A listing of its members can be found on their website .   There are two main forms of LEI , before-the-event and after-the-event ( `` the event '' being that event which triggers legal action ) . `` After-the-event '' legal expenses insurance is a misnomer , since insurance technically , can only indemnify against future unforeseen events . Most legal insurance plans are before-the-event , and `` after the event '' is not common and found mainly in the United Kingdom , where it is an insignificant percentage of total LEI business . The majority of LEI business worldwide , is conducted in Europe ( Germany and France in particular ) . In the United States , the general idea of financial assistance with litigation is most often called pre-paid legal services ( PPL or PPLS ) . The reason for this is that many plans are not insurance based . Some are offered by trade unions as a free benefit of union membership . Others are non-profit clubs set up by groups with a common interest , like University students . Some forms of insurance such as professional liability insurance , medical malpractice insurance , Professional liability insurance , errors and omissions insurance for consultants , agents and brokers of various sorts , and directors and officers liability insurance for principals and supervisory officers of corporations and other organisations , are often marketed under the banner of LEI , but they are in fact liability insurances , a small component of which is to cover the legal expenses of a liability suit . In reality , the insurer is funding the defense of litigation against itself . If it were to fail in doing so , there is a risk that their insured might be held liable for damages that they would be liable to pay under the liability insurance . They are therefore merely protecting their own interests by funding the defence .

neg: Corporate law Corporate law ( also `` company '' or `` corporations '' law ) is the practice or study of how shareholders , directors , employees , creditors , and other stakeholders such as consumers , the community , and the environment interact with one another . Corporate law is a part of a broader companies law ( or law of business associations ) . Other types of business associations can include partnerships ( in the UK governed by the Partnership Act 1890 ) , or trusts ( like a pension fund ) , or companies limited by guarantee ( like some community organizations or charities ) . Under corporate law , corporations of all sizes have separate legal personality , with limited or unlimited liability for its shareholders . Shareholders control the company through a board of directors which , in turn , typically delegates control of the corporation 's day-to-day operations to a full-time executive . Corporate law deals with firms that are incorporated or registered under the corporate or company law of a sovereign state or their subnational states . The four defining characteristics of the modern corporation are :   Separate legal personality of the corporation ( access to tort and contract law in a manner similar to a person )  Limited liability of the shareholders ( a shareholder 's personal liability is limited to the value of their shares in the corporation )  Shares ( if the corporation is a public company , the shares are traded on a stock exchange )  Delegated management ; the board of directors delegates day-to-day management of the company to executives   In many developed countries outside of the English speaking world , company boards are appointed as representatives of both shareholders and employees to `` codetermine '' company strategy . Corporate law is often divided into corporate governance ( which concerns the various power relations within a corporation ) and corporate finance ( which concerns the rules on how capital is used ) .

neg: Law enforcement Law enforcement is any system by which some members of society act in an organized manner to enforce the law by discovering , deterring , rehabilitating , or punishing people who violate the rules and norms governing that society . Although the term may encompass entities such as courts and prisons , it is most frequently applied to those who directly engage in patrols or surveillance to dissuade and discover criminal activity , and those who investigate crimes and apprehend offenders , a task typically carried out by the police or another law enforcement agency . Furthermore , although law enforcement may be most concerned with the prevention and punishment of crimes , organizations exist to discourage a wide variety of non-criminal violations of rules and norms , effected through the imposition of less severe consequences .

neg: Repeal A repeal is the removal or reversal of a law . There are two basic types of repeal , a repeal with a re-enactment ( or replacement ) of the repealed law , or a repeal without any replacement .   Removal of secondary legislation is normally referred to as revocation rather than repeal in the United Kingdom and Ireland . Under the common law of England and Wales , the effect of repealing a statute was `` to obliterate it completely from the records of Parliament as though it had never been passed . '' This , however , is now subject to savings provisions within the Interpretation Act 1978 .   In parliamentary procedure , the motion to rescind , repeal , or annul is used to cancel or countermand an action or order previously adopted by the assembly .

neg: Copyright notice In United States copyright law , a copyright notice is a notice of statutorily prescribed form that informs users of the underlying claim to copyright ownership in a published work .   Copyright is a form of protection provided by U.S. law to authors of `` original works of authorship . '' When a work is published under the authority of the copyright owner , a notice of copyright may be placed on all publicly distributed copies or phonorecords . The use of the notice is the responsibility of the copyright owner and does not require permission from , or registration with , the Copyright Office .   Use of the notice informs the public that a work is protected by copyright , identifies the copyright owner , and shows the year of first publication . Furthermore , in the event that a work is infringed , if the work carries a proper notice , the court will not give any weight to a defendant 's use of an innocent infringement defense -- that is , to a claim that the defendant did not realize that the work was protected . An innocent infringement defense can result in a reduction in damages that the copyright owner would otherwise receive .   U.S. law no longer requires the use of a copyright notice , although placing it on a work does confer certain benefits to the copyright holder . Prior law did , however , require a notice , and the use of a notice is still relevant to the copyright status of older works .   For works first published on or after March 1 , 1989 , use of the copyright notice is optional . Before March 1 , 1989 , the use of the notice was mandatory on all published works . Omitting the notice on any work first published from January 1 , 1978 to February 28 , 1989 could have resulted in the loss of copyright protection if corrective steps were not taken within a certain amount of time . Works published before January 1 , 1978 , are governed by the 1909 Copyright Act . Under that law , if a work was published under the copyright owner 's authority without a proper notice of copyright , all copyright protection for that work was permanently lost in the United States .

neg: Endangerment Endangerment is a type of crime involving conduct that is wrongful and reckless or wanton , and likely to produce death or grievous bodily harm to another person . There are several kinds of endangerment , each of which is a criminal act that can be prosecuted in a court . In some U.S. states , such as Florida , substantially similar language is used for the crime of Culpable negligence .   The offense is intended to prohibit and therefore deter reckless or wanton conduct that wrongfully creates a substantial risk of death or serious injury to others .   Various laws specify several types of endangerment :   Child endangerment and animal endangerment : placing a child or animal in a potentially harmful situation , either through negligence or misconduct .  Reckless endangerment : A person commits the crime of reckless endangerment if the person recklessly engages in conduct which creates a substantial risk of serious physical injury to another person . `` Reckless '' conduct is conduct that exhibits a culpable disregard of foreseeable consequences to others from the act or omission involved . The accused need not intentionally cause a resulting harm . The ultimate question is whether , under all of the circumstances , the accused 's conduct was of that heedless nature that made it actually or imminently dangerous to the rights or safety of others .  Public endangerment is usually applied to crimes which place the public in some form of danger , although that danger can be more or less severe according to the crime . It is punished most frequently in Canada .   Endangerment can range from a misdemeanor to a felony . For example , the New York Penal Code § 120.20 defines reckless endangerment in the second degree ( class A misdemeanor ) as conduct that `` creates a substantial serious risk of injury to another person '' , and § 120.25 deals with reckless endangerment in the first degree ( class D felony ) , which is conduct that shows a `` depraved indifference to human life '' and `` creates a grave risk of death to another person '' . In addition , § 145.25 codifies reckless endangerment to property as a class B misdemeanor .

neg: Homicide in Spain Homicide , according to the Spanish Criminal Code 1995 is a crime which contravenes the legal right to `` independent human life '' . It is found in article 138 which states : `` He who kills another will be punished , as a defendant of homicide , with a prison sentence of ten to fifteen years '' .   The main legal concept in article 138 is bad faith . It may be present in any form , whether direct or indirect . The active subject ( he who kills ) as well as the passive subject ( he who is killed ) are universal , meaning that either can be any person , regardless of the circumstances .   Homicide committed by grave recklessness is covered in article 142 , which includes both reckless homicide by weapons or motor vehicles and homicide caused by professional recklessness . It states :   `` 1 . He who by grave recklessness causes the death of another will be punished , as a defendant of reckless homicide , with a prison sentence of one to four years .   2 . When the reckless homicide is committed using a motor vehicle , a motorcycle or a firearm , the defendant will also be deprived of his right to drive motor vehicles or motorcycles or the right to possess and carry arms for one to six years .   3 . When the homicide is committed by professional recklessness , the defendant will also be prohibited from exercising his profession or office for a period of three to six years . ''   Homicide by minor recklessness is covered in article 621.2 of the Criminal Code :  `` 2 . Those who by minor recklessness cause the death of another person will be punished with a fine of one to two months '' .   It is necessary to indicate that in Spanish law , involuntary homicide is not regulated ; in the majority of cases the law that will be applied will be somewhere between homicide and the criminal concept which is involved .   Other specific concepts , such as parricide and uxoricide also do not exist , since in Spanish criminal law the punishment is founded in the violation of the legal right and not the fact of killing one particular person or another . For these cases , the circumstances of kinship , found in article 23 , could be used as aggravating .

neg: Stand-your-ground law A stand-your-ground law ( sometimes called `` line in the sand '' or `` no duty to retreat '' law ) is a justification in a criminal case , whereby defendants can `` stand their ground '' and use force without retreating , in order to protect and defend themselves or others against threats or perceived threats . An example is where there is no duty to retreat from any place where they have a lawful right to be , and that they may use any level of force if they reasonably believe the threat rises to the level of being an imminent and immediate threat of serious bodily harm or death . One case describes `` the ` stand your ground ' law ... a person has a right to expect absolute safety in a place they have a right to be , and may use deadly force to repel an unlawful intruder . '' Justification using stand-your-ground laws may be limited in that the justification can not be used in some cases where defendant was engaged in other illegal conduct at the time , when '' -LSB- the defendant -RSB- was engaged in illegal activities and not entitled to benefit from provisions of the ` stand your ground ' law '' .   This castle doctrine gives immunity from liability to individuals ( i.e. , there is no duty to retreat ) when an intruder enters their home . Of these , twenty-two jurisdictions have also extended the immunity to other locations , some extending it to anywhere where a person may legally be .   Other restrictions may still exist , however . For example , a person carrying a firearm or other weapon in public ( whether concealed or openly ) must do so in a legal manner .

neg: Constitutional carry In the United States , the term constitutional carry , also called permitless carry , is a neologism for the legal carrying of a handgun , both openly and concealed , without the requirement of a government permit . The phrase does not typically refer to the unrestricted carrying of a long gun , a knife , or other weapons . The scope and applicability of such laws or proposed legislation can vary from state to state .   The phrase `` constitutional carry '' reflects the view that the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution permits no restrictions or other regulations on gun ownership .   This ideal also stems from Supremacy Clause of The United States Constitution , found in Article V , Section 2 , wherein the Supremacy Clause declares the Constitution as the `` Supreme Law of the Land . '' , thus the term `` constitutional carry '' . Supporters of constitutional carry relate that the Second Amendment is decreed by the United States Constitution , aforementioned the `` The Supreme Law of the Land '' , and therefore takes precedence over any other gun law that would restrict or violate the right to keep or bear arms in any way . Many arguments against constitutional carry concern the connotation of the wording in the Second Amendment .   Although District of Columbia v. Heller , decided by the Supreme Court of the United States ( SCOTUS ) in 2008 , suggests that some state or local controls may be allowed , at least as to certain types of weapons . Prior to Heller there have been many other cases that have upheld both state and federal gun control laws under the Second Amendment . The Heller case was extended by the Court in McDonald v. Chicago , decided in 2010 , holding the 2nd and 14th Amendments to the Constitution were `` fully incorporated '' and thus the right to '' ... keep and bear arms applies to the States and not ` in a watered-down version ' but ` fully applicable ' ... , '' and does limit State and local governments in passing laws that restrict this `` individual '' and `` fundamental '' right to '' ... keep and bear arms , '' for self-defense . Self-defense was considered by the SCOTUS a '' ... central component of the 2nd Amendment . '' All of the state laws described below operate in the context of federal regulation regarding the transfer and sale of firearms . Firearms and ammunition are subject to taxation as well .   `` Constitutional carry '' is also sometimes known as `` Vermont carry '' , `` permitless carry '' , or `` unrestricted carry '' .

neg: Personal injury Personal injury is a legal term for an injury to the body , mind or emotions , as opposed to an injury to property .   In Anglo-American jurisdictions the term is most commonly used to refer to a type of tort lawsuit alleging that the plaintiff 's injury has been caused by the negligence of another , but also arises in defamation torts . Different jurisdictions describe the damages ( or , the things for which the injured person may be compensated ) in different ways , but damages typically include the injured person 's medical bills , pain and suffering , and diminished quality of life .

neg: List of Grade B+ listed buildings in County Antrim This is a list of Grade B + listed buildings in County Antrim , Northern Ireland .   In Northern Ireland , the term listed building refers to a building or other structure officially designated as being of `` special architectural or historic interest '' . Grade B + structures are those considered to be `` buildings which might have merited grade A status but for detracting features such as an incomplete design , lower quality additions or alterations . Also included are buildings that because of exceptional features , interiors or environmental qualities are clearly above the general standard set by grade B buildings . A building may merit listing as grade B + where its historic importance is greater than a similar building listed as grade B. ''   Listing began later in Northern Ireland than in the rest of the UK ; the first provision for listing was contained in the Planning ( Northern Ireland ) Order 1972 , and the current legislative basis for listing is the Planning ( Northern Ireland ) Order 1991 . Under Article 42 of the Order , the Department of the Environment of the Northern Ireland Executive is required to compile lists of buildings of `` special architectural or historic interest '' . The responsibility for the listing process rests with the Northern Ireland Environment Agency ( NIEA ) , an executive agency within the Department of the Environment .   Following the introduction of listing , an initial survey of Northern Ireland 's building stock was begun in 1974 . By the time of the completion of this First Survey in 1994 , the listing process had developed considerably , and it was therefore decided to embark upon a Second Survey to update and cross-check the original information . , the Second Survey had been completed for 147 of Northern Ireland 's 547 council wards , and completion is anticipated by 2016 . Information gathered during this survey , relating to both listed and unlisted buildings , is entered into the publicly accessible Northern Ireland Buildings Database . A range of listing criteria , which aim to define architectural and historic interest , have been developed by the NIEA , and are used to determine whether or not to list a building .   Once listed , severe restrictions are imposed on the modifications allowed to a building 's structure or its fittings . Listed building consent must be obtained from local authorities prior to any alteration to such a structure . There are approximately 8,500 listed buildings in Northern Ireland , representing 2 % of the total building stock . Of these , around 580 are listed at Grade B + .   County Antrim covers 2844 sqkm , and has a population of around 616,000 . The County has 157 Grade B + listed buildings .

neg: LGBT rights in Northern Ireland Lesbian , gay , bisexual , transgender ( LGBT ) rights in Northern Ireland are the least advanced in the United Kingdom . It was the last country in the United Kingdom to legalise same-sex sexual activity , the last to end a lifetime ban on blood donations by men who have sex with men and remains the only region of the United Kingdom or Ireland to prohibit same-sex marriage . Progress has mostly come during direct rule by the Government of the United Kingdom or through court action rather than local legislative reform , due to the veto power wielded by the anti-LGBT Democratic Unionist Party under Northern Ireland 's power-sharing system . ILGA rates Northern Ireland as the worst place in the United Kingdom for LGBT people , with 74 % equality of rights compared to 86 % LGBT equality in the United Kingdom overall and 92 % equality in Scotland . LGBT rights campaigner Peter Tatchell describes Northern Ireland as `` the most homophobic place in western Europe '' .   Same-sex sexual activity has been legal since 1982 and the age of consent has been equal for all forms of sexual activity since 2001 . Civil partnerships have been available for same-sex couples since 2005 . Same-sex marriage has been voted on five times by the Northern Ireland Assembly , and although it was passed by a slim majority on the fifth attempt , it was vetoed by the Democratic Unionist Party using the petition of concern . Same-sex marriages performed outside Northern Ireland are recognised as civil partnerships within its borders . Same-sex couples have also been granted full adoption rights since 2013 .

He worked as a miner in Nanaimo , British Columbia and wrestled his first match in 1889 , winning the Pacific Coast heavyweight championship that same year .   On October 26 , 1897 , McLeod defeated Martin Burns to win the American Heavyweight Championship , which he would retain for four years . The most notable incident during his reign as champion came far away from the media spotlight when on June 18 , 1899 , McLeod met and defeated a young Frank Gotch in a hard-fought impromptu match on a cinder track . It was Gotch 's very first professional match and he later recounted that McLeod had hustled all involved by pretending to be a simple furniture dealer from a neighboring town , but was sufficiently impressed by Gotch 's talent to leave him a visiting card revealing his true identity . Gotch would go on to defeat McLeod on multiple occasions after much training under Martin `` Farmer '' Burns . McLeod occasionally used the `` catch name '' alias George Little .   McLeod 's reign as champion came to an end on November 7 , 1901 , when he was defeated by Tom Jenkins . Amid a series of rematches between the two men , McLeod recaptured the title on Christmas Day 1902 but lost it to Jenkins the following April .

It was launched on 2 November 1985 sponsored by Mrs. Linda M. Nickles , and commissioned on 9 July 1988 , with Commander Kevin John Reardon in command .   In 1991 , Oklahoma City won the Marjorie Sterrett Battleship Fund Award for the Atlantic Fleet .   On 13 November 2002 , Oklahoma City collided with the Leif Hoegh liquefied natural gas tanker Norman Lady , east of the Strait of Gibraltar . No one on either vessel was hurt , and there were no leaks of oil from fuel tanks and no threat to the environment , but the submarine sustained damage to its periscope and sail area , and put into La Maddalena , Sardinia , for repairs . Its commanding officer , Commander Richard Voter , was relieved of his command on 30 November . One other officer and two enlisted crew members also were disciplined for dereliction of duty .   On 20 January 2005 Oklahoma City returned to Norfolk , Virginia , after a six-month deployment in support of national security interests and the War on Terrorism .

After the patrol , it then completed a circumnavigation of North America by transiting back to the Atlantic Ocean through the Panama Canal and returning to its home port in Norfolk .   In early 2007 , Oklahoma City became the first submarine certified to exclusively use Digital Nautical Charts ( DNCs ) , using the Voyage Management System ( VMS ) . VMS is part of the Electronic Chart Display and Information System-Navy ( ECDIS-N ) system , which has been under development since 1990 . The shift from traditional paper navigation to an all-electronic navigation suite marked the first significant shift in U.S. Navy navigation practices since the introduction of the Global Positioning System ( GPS ) in the 1990s .   From May to November 2007 , Oklahoma City completed a deployment to the Persian Gulf in support of the War on Terror . It spent May to July 2008 in the Eastern Pacific in support of the War on Drugs , and was responsible for seizing more than 11 metric tons of cocaine valued at more than $ 1.5 billion ( USD ) .

neg: Warrant officer A warrant officer ( WO ) is an officer in a military organisation who is designated an officer by a warrant , as distinguished from a commissioned officer who is designated an officer by a commission , and a non-commissioned officer who is designated an officer , often by virtue of seniority .   The rank was first used in the 13th century in the ( then ) English Royal Navy and is today used in most services in many countries , including the Commonwealth nations and the United States .   Outside the United States , warrant officers are included in the `` Other Ranks '' ( OR ) category , equivalent to the US `` E '' ( Enlisted ) category and rank between non-commissioned officers and commissioned officers . The warrant officers in Commonwealth navies rank between chief petty officer and sub-lieutenant , in Commonwealth air forces between flight sergeant and pilot officer , and in Commonwealth armies between staff sergeant and second-lieutenant .   Warrant officers in the United States are classified as officers and are in the `` W '' category ( NATO `` WO '' ) ; they are technical leaders and specialists . Chief warrant officers are commissioned by the President of the United States and take the same oath as regular commissioned officers . They may be technical experts with a long service as enlisted personnel , or direct entrants , notably for U.S. Army helicopter pilots .

neg: USS Tucker (DD-57) USS Tucker ( Destroyer No. 57/DD -57 ) was the lead ship of her class of destroyers built for the United States Navy prior to the American entry into World War I . The ship was the first U.S. Navy vessel named for Samuel Tucker .   Tucker was laid down by the Fore River Shipbuilding Company of Quincy , Massachusetts , in November 1914 and launched in May 1915 . The ship was a little more than 315 ft in length , nearly 30 ft abeam , and had a standard displacement of 1090 LT. She was armed with four 4 in/50 caliber guns and had eight 21 inch ( 533 mm ) torpedo tubes . Tucker was powered by a pair of steam turbines that propelled her at up to 29.5 knots .   After her April 1916 commissioning , Tucker sailed in the Atlantic and the Caribbean . After the United States entered World War I in April 1917 , Tucker was part of the second U.S. destroyer squadron sent overseas . Patrolling the Irish Sea out of Queenstown , Ireland , Tucker made several rescues of passengers and crew from ships sunk by U-boats . For her part in rescuing crewmen from the Dupetit-Thouars in August 1918 , Tucker received a commendation from the Préfet Maritime . In June , Tucker was transferred to Brest , France , and spent the remainder of the war there .   Upon returning to the United State near the end of 1918 , Tucker underwent repairs at the Boston Navy Yard . After a New England recruiting tour through October 1919 , she was placed in reduced commission and then decommissioned in May 1921 . In March 1926 , Tucker was transferred to the United States Coast Guard to help enforce Prohibition as a part of the `` Rum Patrol '' . She operated under the name USCGC Tucker ( CG-23 ) until 1933 ; during her Coast Guard service , she was the first American ship to arrive at the crash site of Navy airship . After her transfer back to the Navy later in 1933 , the ship was renamed DD-57 to free the name Tucker for another destroyer . She was sold for scrap and hulked in December 1936 .

neg: USS Sablefish (SS-303) USS Sablefish ( SS/AGSS -303 ) , a Balao-class submarine , was a ship of the United States Navy named for the sablefish , a large , dark fish found along North America 's Pacific coast from California to Alaska .   Sablefish ( SS-303 ) was laid down on 5 June 1943 by Cramp Shipbuilding Company , Philadelphia ; launched on 4 June 1944 ; sponsored by Mrs. Carol S. Burrough , wife of Captain Edmund W. Burrough ( former Captain , USS Cleveland ) ; and commissioned at the Philadelphia Navy Yard on 18 December 1945 , Comdr. Richard Henry Crane in command .   Following a shakedown cruise from New London , Conn. , to Balboa , Canal Zone , the new submarine conducted type training in the Panama area until mid-May 1946 . She then returned to her home port , New London , and spent the remainder of the year supporting ASW exercises off the east coast , participating in fleet exercises off Bermuda , and making a three-week cruise off Greenland .   Her duty in 1946 established a pattern for her operations during much of her subsequent career . Highlights of her service for the next few years were : testing a new type of submarine escape buoy in January 1948 , and again in September of that year ; participating in ceremonies at Havana , Cuba , on 14 February 1948 , the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the battleship ; conversion to a Fleet Snorkel submarine during the first half of 1951 ; and a starring role in one of Edward R. Murrow 's `` See It Now '' television shows .   On 15 July 1952 , the submarine broadened her experience by departing New London and sailing to the Mediterranean Sea for her first deployment with the 6th Fleet . After exercises with other United States warships and vessels of the navies of NATO allies during the rest of the summer , Sablefish returned to New London in October . Thereafter , she made six more deployments to the Mediterranean .   When back on her home side of the Atlantic , the submarine was busy with exercises which took her as far north as Nova Scotia and south to the Caribbean .   In June 1959 , she was one of the Navy 's representatives at the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway ; and she operated in the Great Lakes until mid-August . A second cruise up the St. Lawrence returned her to the Great Lakes in 1961 .   In May 1967 , Sablefish again headed east across the Atlantic ; but this time , instead of transiting the Straits of Gibraltar for service in the 6th Fleet , she visited ports in the British Isles and along the Atlantic coast in France , Germany , Denmark , and Sweden . On her homeward voyage , she also touched at Iceland .   The ship began her last Mediterranean deployment in the fall of 1968 and returned to her home port on 1 February 1969 . On 30 June 1969 , while operating out of New London , she was reclassified as an auxiliary submarine and redesignated AGSS-303 . She was decommissioned there on 1 November 1969 and struck from the Navy list the same day . She was subsequently stripped and sold for scrap on 29 July 1971 .

neg: Wardroom The wardroom is the mess cabin or compartment for commissioned naval officers above the rank of midshipman . Although typically applies to officers in a navy , it is also applicable to marine officers and coast guard officers in those nations that have such service branches . Typically the mess compartment aboard a naval or coast guard vessel , and on larger vessels , such as aircraft carriers of the U.S. Navy , there may more than one wardroom . It may also be used to refer to similar officer mess facilities at naval , marine , and coast guard installations ashore .   The term the wardroom is also used ( metonymically ) to refer to those individuals with the right to occupy that wardroom , meaning `` the officers of the wardroom . ''   The wardoom provides a place of recreation as well as being a dining room . Usually , a galley or scullery adjoins the wardroom . Service is provided by stewards , now known in some services as mess specialists or culinary specialists . On warships other than those of the U.S. Navy , there is usually a bar where alcoholic drinks can be purchased . Ships can be either `` wet '' or `` dry '' : the former allowing the consumption of alcohol at sea , while the latter only allows alcohol when alongside at port , if at all . Ships of the United States Navy have not allowed alcohol consumption onboard since 1913 , although since 1980 unique , by exception , single-day waivers have been granted to vessels deployed in excess of ninety 90 ) days without a port call .   Wardrooms have rules governing etiquette . Traditionally considered taboo are three topics : politics , religion , and sex ( earlier guidebooks referred to the latter as ladies , this being changed as increasing numbers of female officers joined the wardrooms of warships and coast guard cutters ) . On large ships in peacetime , talking about professional business is also frowned upon . It is also considered inappropriate to perform work or to meet with subordinates in a wardroom . Typically , upon entering the wardroom at meal time , members ask permission from the most senior officer present before joining the table .   The ship 's executive officer is usually the mess president . On warships and coast guard vessels , the commanding officer is normally not a member of the wardroom , but is invited to join the members for special occasions .
