# USS Peconic

USS Peconic (AOG-68), was a type T1 Klickitat-class gasoline tanker built for the US Navy during World War II. She was named after the Peconic River, in New York.

## Construction

Peconic was laid down on 31 January 1945, under a Maritime Commission (MARCOM) contract, MC hull 2628, by the St. Johns River Shipbuilding Company, Jacksonville, Florida; sponsored by Mrs. Mal Haughton, Jr.; acquired on a loan basis by the Navy 28 September 1945; and commissioned 29 September 1945.

## Service history

Peconic reported to Commander Service Force Atlantic at Norfolk, Virginia, 27 November. Because of reduced need following the war's end, she decommissioned 4 January 1946, at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard, was struck from the Navy List 21 January, and returned to the Maritime Commission (MARCOM).
She went into merchant service in 1946, as SS Voshell operated by the Maritime Transport Lines Inc. until 4 April 1948, at which time she was turned over to the Naval Transportation Service (NTS) as USNT Peconic (AOG-68) at Boston. Maritime Transport Lines Inc. continued to operate Peconic under contract for the NTS. NTS became Military Sea Transportation Service (MSTS) 1 October 1949, and the ship was then designated USNS Peconic (AOG-68).
Peconic was reinstated to the Naval Vessel Register 28 April 1950, and she continued service in MSTS until 12 November 1957, when she transferred to the Maritime Administration (MARAD) National Defense Reserve Fleet at Beaumont, Texas. She was struck from the Naval Vessel Register the same day. On 27 July 1982, she was sold for scrapping to Andy Exports Inc., she was removed from the fleet on 7 December 1982.

# Chattanooga Observer

The Chattanooga Observer (1927 - 1966) was a weekly newspaper serving the African American community in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It was affiliated with the Republican Party.
The Observer was originally published by the Tennessee Negro News Publishing Co., but by 1940 it had been acquired by the Scott Newspaper Syndicate. By 1943 it had been acquired by the Chattanooga Observer Publishing Company, which was owned by Walter Caldwell Robinson. Robinson, who also edited the newspaper and wrote editorials for it, was the founder of the Colored Voters League of Greater Chattanooga and the chair of the Republican organization in the city's fourth ward until 1959. Ishmael Reed recalled him as "the most powerful Black man in Chattanooga". The paper, which may have played a role in establishing Robinson's political power, had ceased publication by his death.
Tennessee State University has a collection of Robinson's papers including speeches, correspondence and issues of the newspaper. Issues from 1927 to 1962 are also preserved at the Tennessee State Library and Archives.
A different paper by the same name, of which no copies are known to have survived, was published in Chattanooga from 1890 to 1895.

# USS Siskin

USS Siskin (AMS-58/YMS-425) was a YMS-1-class minesweeper of the YMS-135 subclass built for the United States Navy during World War II. She is the only U.S. Navy ship to be named for the siskin.

## History

YMS-425, a motor minesweeper, was laid down on 6 June 1944 by the Astoria Marine Construction Co. at Astoria, Oregon; launched on 9 September 1944; and placed in service on 21 December 1944.
The motor minesweeper conducted training exercises and shakedown along the U.S. West Coast during the spring and early summer of 1945. On 10 August, she departed San Francisco, California, and headed for Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
She spent 10 days in the Hawaiian Islands before getting underway for Okinawa on the 31st. She stopped at Eniwetok from 12 to 14 September, at Saipan from 19 to 22 September, and made Okinawa on the 28th. From Okinawa, she headed to Japan; and, for the next six months, she operated in Japanese coastal waters, sweeping mines for the occupation forces. YMS-425 completed her part in the minesweeping operation and, on 11 March 1946, shaped a course for the United States.
After stops at Saipan, Eniwetok, Johnston Island, and Pearl Harbor, she entered San Francisco Bay on 7 May. From San Francisco, California, she moved via the Panama Canal to Boston, Massachusetts, arriving there on 7 July 1946. YMS-425 decommissioned on 19 July 1946 and remained at Boston. On 1 September 1947, YMS-425 was renamed Siskin (AMS-58) and was assigned to the 1st Naval District at Boston for duty as a U.S. Naval Reserve training ship.
Siskin recommissioned at Boston in March 1950 under the command of Lt. F. W. Cole. She operated along the southeastern and gulf coasts of the United States, from Norfolk, Virginia, to Panama City, Florida, assigned to Mine Division 42 (MinDiv 42) until January 1954. From January 1954 until January 1955, she was assigned to MinDiv 43 and served with the Naval Mine Countermeasures Station at Panama City, Florida. In November 1954, her homeport was changed to Charleston, South Carolina; and, from January to April 1955, she was overhauled at Norfolk, Virginia. On 7 February 1955, her designation was changed from AMS-58 to MSCO-58. After overhaul, she conducted refresher training, then returned to normal operations along the U.S. East Coast.
Siskin arrived in Buffalo, New York, via the St. Lawrence Seaway, on 17 October 1957. She decommissioned there on 24 October and resumed duty as a Naval Reserve training ship. Later, she was transferred back to the 1st Naval District at Boston, Massachusetts, until 1 October 1968, when her name was struck from the Navy list. She was subsequently sold for scrapping.

## Awards and honors

YMS-425 received one battle star.
# HMIS Cauvery

HMIS Cauvery, pennant number U10, was a Black Swan-class sloop which served in the Royal Indian Navy (RIN) during World War II.

## History

HMIS Cauvery was ordered in 1941 as a part of the 1940 Build Program for the Royal Indian Navy. She was built by Yarrow Shipbuilders, Limited and commissioned in October 1943.
With World War II underway, she was immediately deployed as a convoy escort in the Home Fleet. In February 1944, she was transferred to the Eastern Fleet. En route, she continued to escort various convoys, until joining the fleet in April. She was again deployed as a convoy escort in the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean.
In May–June, she was part of the force deployed to support amphibious landings of the British Indian Army and the British Army in Rangoon as a part of Operation Dragoon. Between July–October, she joined Force 66 in anti-submarine operations in the Indian Ocean.
After a refit at Bombay, in March 1945, HMIS Cauvery played a major role in the bombardment of Letpan in preparation of landings by the Indian 4th Brigade to cut off the retreat of Japanese Imperial Army as a part of Operation Turret. In April, she was part of the task force for supporting the amphibious landings on Indian 26th Division on Akyab peninsula as a part of Operation Dracula. Other ships supporting the operation included fellow sloops Godavari, Kistna, Narbada, Sutlej and Hindustan. The task force then continued on patrol duty between the Andamans and Burma.
In July, HMIS Cauvery was deployed to Malacca Straits for minesweeping operations as a part of Operation Collie. She was prepared for an amphibious assault on the Malayan coast, before the postponement of Operation Zipper.
At the end of the war, she was in Singapore for the Japanese surrender ceremony.
After India's independence, she was renamed INS Kaveri and served as a part of the 12th Frigate Squadron. She was decommissioned in 1977 and subsequently scrapped.
# Macrocybe titans

Macrocybe titans is a species of mushroom native to Florida, Central and South America,
This mushroom was described as Tricholoma titans in 1980 by Howard E. Bigelow and J. W. Kimbrough, before being reclassified in Macrocybe in 1998.
Macrocybe titans form solid, large mushrooms that grow in clumps. The cap is from 8–50 centimetres (3.1–20 in) across, with rare specimens up to 100 centimetres (40 in) in diameter. Buff-ochre with a darker centre and greyish at the margins, and becoming white with age. The crowded white to pale grey or pale brown gills are sinuate and up to 2 cm thick. The cylindrical stout white stem is 6 to 15 centimetres (2.4 to 5.9 in) high and 1.5 to 4 centimetres (0.59 to 1.57 in) across with a swollen base up to 12 centimetres (4.7 in) in diameter. Rare specimens have stems up to 38 centimetres (15 in) high and 12.7 centimetres (5.0 in) wide.
# Yuzhoulong

Yuzhoulong (meaning "Chongqing dragon", after Yuzhou, an early name for Chongqing) is a genus of macronarian sauropod dinosaur from the Middle Jurassic Shaximiao Formation of Chongqing, China. The type and only species is Yuzhoulong qurenensis.

## Discovery and naming

After the discovery of a new quarry from the Shaximiao Formation in 2016, the holotype of Yuzhoulong, CLGRP V00013, was discovered in Pu'an town in Yunyang County in Chongqing. It was named as a distinct genus and species by Dai et al. in 2022. The generic name, "Yuzhoulong", honors "Yuzhou", the ancient name of Chongqing, while the specific name, "qurenensis", is derived from Quren, the ancient name of Yunyang.

## Description

Yuzhoulong is only known from a partial skeleton, including a partial skull, of an immature subadult individual. It was partially buried in the rock at the time of its description, mixed in with the fossils of another, unnamed sauropod.

## Classification

In 2022, Dai et al. added Yuzhoulong to a number of different phylogenetic analyses, which consistently recovered as it a basal macronarian. This proves that macronarians existed by at least the Middle Jurassic, indicating a higher diversity of neosauropods in this age. The cladogram below displays the results of one of their phylogenetic analyses.
# Action of 15 June 1780

The action of 15 June 1780 was a minor naval engagement took place during the American War of Independence between a French privateer frigate and a Royal Navy 32-gun fifth-rate HMS Apollo off the coast near Ostend.
In mid June HMS Apollo under the command of Philemon Pownoll was cruising in company with the 32-gun HMS Cleopatra, under Captain the Hon. George Murray. On the 15th a cutter was sighted while cruising in the North Sea and Murray was sent to investigate it. After closing to within gunshot of the cutter by 10.30am, a large sail was observed standing off the land. Whilst Cleopatra was taking the cutter, Apollo went to investigate the large sail. The two ships closed, tacking about to gain the weather gauge, and eventually opened fire. Apollo's opponent was the 26-gun French privateer Stanislaus, and after a period of tacking, the two engaged in broadsides while running for Ostend. After nearly an hour of intense cannonading Pownoll was hit by a cannonball and killed. Lieutenant Edward Pellew who succeeded to the command continued the battle eventually driving the Stanislaus on shore not far from Ostend. Apart from her captain, Apollo lost five men killed and had twenty wounded. A Royal Marine detachment sent ashore later captured the Stanislaus and was brought into the navy as HMS Proselyte.
On the 18th, Lord Sandwich wrote to Pellew: "I will not delay informing you that I mean to give you immediate promotion as a reward for your gallant and officer-like conduct."
