Thetis
Thetis (; grc-gre, Θέτις ), is a figure from Greek mythology with varying mythological roles. She mainly appears as a sea nymph, a goddess of water, or one of the 50 Nereids, daughters of the ancient sea god Nereus. When described as a Nereid in Classical myths, Thetis was the daughter of Nereus and Doris, and a granddaughter of Tethys with whom she sometimes shares characteristics. Often she seems to lead the Nereids as they attend to her tasks. Sometimes she also is identified with Metis. Some sources argue that she was one of the earliest of deities worshipped in Archaic Greece, the oral traditions and records of which are lost. Only one written record, a fragment, exists attesting to her worship and an early Alcman hymn exists that identifies Thetis as the creator of the universe. Worship of Thetis as the goddess is documented to have persisted in some regions by historical writers such as Pausanias. In the Trojan War cycle of myth, the wedding of Thetis and th ...

Thetis (decoy)
Thetis was the name of a floating radar decoy used by German U-boats during the Second World War. The device was stored dismantled in the bow compartment as a pole about two metres long. Assembly usually took place in the U-boat's conning tower, and could be assembled in about four minutes (''FuMT 2 - Thetis IIC''). Later versions could be launched from a standard torpedo tube (''FuMT 4 - Thetis US''). When deployed, it was extended to a total length of eight metres, half of which was submerged. The upper half had a series of reflectors that were tuned to Allied anti-submarine radar wavelengths to give the same return signal as a U-boat. The number of Thetis decoys carried varied between different U-boats: * carried approximately 12 units during her 10th and last patrol between 16 January 1944 and 6 May; all were used in the Bay of Biscay. * carried 16 units during her 6th and last patrol between 25 January 1944 and 25 February. * carried an unknown number of units during her 21st a ...

Thetis-class Gunboat
The ''Thetis''-class gunboats was a class of five naval ships of the Hellenic Navy, originally developed for the German Navy as ''Class 420'' and first commissioned in 1961. Design Similar in size to corvettes, all five ''Class 420''/''Thetis''-class vessels were built by Rolandwerft, Bremen. Although they were designed, built, and designated as ''Subchasers'' by the German Navy, subchasers became obsolete after the Second World War due to being unable to keep pace with advancements in submarine technology. Because the ships were designed to chase more modern submarines, they are more commonly referred to as gunboats. The main armament of ''Thetis''-class ships consisted of 20 mm and 40 mm guns, Mk 46 Mod5 torpedoes and mines and anti-submarine (A/S) mortars. The ships were also equipped with sonar. Later the A/S mortars were replaced by a second 40 mm gun and the single torpedo tubes by triple mountings. Upgrades started in 2000 may have included enclosed 40 mm gun mountings ...

The ''Thetis''-class ocean patrol vessels or ocean patrol frigates, also called Stanflex 3000, is a class of large patrol vessels built for the Royal Danish Navy. The class comprises four ships, all built and commissioned in the early 1990s. The ships' tasks are mainly maintenance of sovereignty, search and rescue, fishery inspection and support to local (mainly Greenlandic) authorities. The operation areas are normally Greenland and the Faroe Islands, but the vessels also operate near Iceland on transit between Greenland and the Faroe Islands, and near Denmark. Design The ships each have double-skinned ice-reinforced hulls so that the ships can break through of solid ice.

Hesperides
In Greek mythology, the Hesperides (; , ) are the nymphs of evening and golden light of sunsets, who were the "Daughters of the Evening" or "Nymphs of the West". They were also called the Atlantides () from their reputed father, the Titan Atlas.Diodorus Siculus. ''Library4.27.2' Etymology The name means ''originating from Hesperos'' (evening). ''Hesperos'', or ''Vesper'' in Latin, is the origin of the name Hesperus, the evening star (i.e. the planet Venus) as well as having a shared root with the English word "west". Mythology The nymphs of the evening Ordinarily, the Hesperides number three, like the other Greek triads (the Three Graces and the Three Fates). "Since the Hesperides themselves are mere symbols of the gifts the apples embody, they cannot be actors in a human drama. Their abstract, interchangeable names are a symptom of their impersonality", classicist Evelyn Byrd Harrison has observed. They are sometimes portrayed as the evening daughters of Night ( Nyx) ...
