Greek submarine Xifias (Υ-10) or Xiphias, the former British HMS Untiring, in Greek service 1945–1952 List of ships with the same or similar names This article includes a list of ships with the same or similar names.
Xifias (Greek: Ξιφίας, "swordfish") was a Greek submarine (actually called a "submersible", καταδυόμενον, according to the then current French terminology) which served during World War I.
The species name, Xiphias gladius, derives from Greek ξιφίας (xiphias, "swordfish"), itself from ξίφος (xiphos, "sword") and from Latin gladius ("sword"). [6] This makes it superficially similar to other billfish such as marlin, but upon examination, their physiology is quite different and they are members of different families. [8]
Form 13F is a quarterly report filed, per United States Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, [1] by "institutional investment managers" with control over $100M in assets to the SEC, listing all equity assets under management.

Fish migration is mass relocation by fish from one area or body of water to another. Many types of fish migrate on a regular basis, on time scales ranging from daily to annually or longer, and over distances ranging from a few metres to thousands of kilometres.
Nikephoros Xiphias was born probably some time around or before 980, and was most likely the son of Alexios Xiphias, who served as the Catepan of Italy in 1006–08. [1] Few members of the Xiphiai are otherwise known and the family's origin is unclear, but they most likely hailed from Asia Minor, like many other prestigious families of the military aristocracy of the period.
Citizenship by investment programs enable the applicant to rapidly obtain citizenship with no required residence period, or only a short nominal period measured in days or weeks.

Swordfish (Xiphias gladius) are large, highly migratory, predatory fish characterized by a long, flat bill in contrast to the smooth, round bill of the marlins. Swordfish are elongate, round-bodied, and lack teeth and scales as adults. They are the sole member of their family Xiphiidae.
