There are plans for Trump and his VP pick to host a reception in Milwaukee on July 17, during the Republican National Convention, that will be called the "Strength in Unity Reception."

 

The event will raise money for the Trump 47 Committee, the Save America PAC, the RNC and state Republican parties, in that order of priority.

The intrigue: Trump has said he'll announce his running mate soon, and the RNC's plans suggest he'll have done so by July 17, the third day of the convention.

The Q-Ship, or Decoy Ship has been a tactic of maritime warfare since earliest times. Put simply, it involves a ship flying the flag of a neutral or ally, with perhaps a false name and hidden armaments. This fools an attacker or target until it is too late, and the element of surprise is of great advantage to the 'victim' turned attacker.

 

These 'Trojan Horses' of maritime warfare were used by nations such as Britain France Holland and Spain since the 16th Century in an informal way. It was not until World War One that they were organised on a command scale. Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty, was credited with the organisation of the Royal Navy Q-Ships.

 

Haulbowline Dockyard, in Cork Harbour was responsible for the conversion of many mercantile steamers to armed decoy ships. The majority however appear to have been converted in larger navy yards such as Devonport.

 

Some Q-ships were not converted merchant vessels, but a type of naval ship called a sloop. These were single-screw naval patrol craft, but some classes had the passing appearance of a merchant ship.
