Daugavgrīva castle Daugavgrīva Castle ( ; ; or " Ust ` - Dvinsk " ) is a former monastery converted into a castle , located at Vecdaugava oxbow on right bank of Daugava , in the northern part of Riga city , Latvia . Nowadays here are seen only earthen ramparts . History . The first settlement , Daugavgrīva Abbey , was established on the right bank of the Daugava river , 13 miles from Bishop Albert of Riga ' s residence in Riga , by Cistercian monks from Pforta in 1205 . Theoderich von Treyden was an early abbot , while during the 1210s Count Bernhard II of Lippe was its abbot . During a raid of tribal Curonians in 1228 , the monastery and its tombs were destroyed , although the monks rebuilt the abbey after fighting died down . They also had to endure abuse by the undisciplined crusaders of the Livonian Order . Those knights were defeated at the Battle of Saule , however , and their remnants were incorporated into the Teutonic Knights in 1237 . Until 1452 the territory of Siggelkow in Mecklenburg was owned by the monastery . In 1305 , the local abbot sold the monastery to the Livonian Branch of the Teutonic Knights , who began construction of the fortress of Dünamünde . In 1329 , the knights ' castle was taken by the burghers of Riga , who were forced to return it to the knights in 1435 . In 1481 , the knights closed the Daugava to navigation by stretching an iron chain from Dünamünde to the opposite riverbank , thus hoping to ruin Riga ' s trade . In retaliation the citizens of Riga captured Dünamünde and destroyed it . The knights returned to rebuild the stronghold eight years later . Because Riga itself was controlled by the Archbishops , the local administrative seat ( " Komtur ei " ) of the monastic state of the Teutonic Knights was located in Dünamünde . In 1561 during the Livonian War , Dünamünde became part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and afterwards of the Polish - Lithuanian Commonwealth . In the second half of 16th century Daugava made a new river - bed and the new mouth about five kilometers to the west . Thence the Poles made the small fortress near the new river mouth . In 1582 the new fortress was inspected by King Stephen Bathory , who referred to it as Dynemunt . On August 1 , 1608 the fortress was taken by the Swedes under Count Frederick Joachim Mansfeld who renamed it Neumünde ( " new mouth " ) . This new fortress is located in the area of contemporary Daugavgrīva neighborhood of Riga . By 1653 a map issued by Swedish Military council showed that the fortress was destroyed and the castle was in ruins . Stones from the walls of castle were used for the construction of the new Daugavgriva fortress on the other bank of Daugava river . Joachim Cronman later became commandant and died there on March 5 , 1703 .
USS Vaud J . ( SP - 3361 ) USS " Vaud J . " ( SP - 3361 ) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in service from 1918 to 1919 . " Vaud J . " was built in 1907 as a private motorboat of the same name by Thomas Johnson at Wildwood , New Jersey . She was the property of A . L . Dunn of Govans , Maryland , on 23 April 1917 when the U . S . Navy inspected her for possible World War I service as a section patrol boat but deemed her unsuitable for use by either the Navy or the United States Army . On 23 September 1918 , however , the Navy reinspected " Vaud J . " at Bear Creek near Baltimore , Maryland , and apparently found her acceptable , because it took control of her on 27 September 1918 and assigned her the section patrol number 3361 . Although " Vaud J . " never was commissioned , she was assigned to the Bureau of Ordnance and towed by the tug to the Naval Proving Ground at Indian Head , Maryland , where she operated in connection with range construction work into the spring of 1919 . " Vaud J . " was stricken from the Navy List on 30 June 1919 and simultaneously sold to the Chesapeake Water Supply Company . She was carried on lists of American merchant vessels into the early 1920s , but her owner was not listed . From 1924 to 1929 , she was the property of Hurley Booye of Cape May , New Jersey , until either late 1929 or early 1930 when Harry Mogok of Cape May purchased her . " Vaud J . " operated until 1932 , when she apparently was discarded and her name disappears from the mercantile listings .
Submarine tender A submarine tender is a type of ship that supplies and supports submarine s . Submarines are small compared to most oceangoing vessels , and generally do not have the ability to carry large amounts of food , fuel , torpedo es , and other supplies , nor to carry a full array of maintenance equipment and personnel . The tender carries all these , and either meets up with the submarines at sea to replenish them or provides these services while docked at a port near the area where the submarines are operating . In some navies , the tenders were equipped with workshops for maintenance , and as floating dormitories with relief crews . Unable to operate conventional surface tenders during World War II , the German Navy used Type XIV submarines ( " milk cows " ) as tenders instead . In the Royal Navy , the term used for a submarine tender is " submarine depot ship " , for example HMS " Medway " and HMS " Maidstone " , and the term used in the Armada de Chile ( Chilean navy ) , for a submarine tender , is " submarine mother ship " , as the BMS ( buque madre de submarinos ) Almirante Merino . With the increased size and automation of modern submarines , plus their reliance on nuclear power , tenders are no longer as necessary for fuel as they once were . In the United States Navy , submarine tenders are considered auxiliaries , with hull classification symbol " AS " . , the Navy only maintains two such tenders , and . The Russian Navy decommissioned all its " Don " and " Ugra " class tenders inherited from the Soviet Navy by 2001 . The last remaining ship of this class was the INS " Amba " ( A54 ) , initially sold to the Indian Navy in 1968 for use with their fleet of s . She was reportedly decommissioned from service in July 2006 .
TCG Gür ( 1936 ) TCG Gür was a Basque - designed submarine built in 1929 - 30 by the Echevarrieta y Larrinaga Shipyard in Cádiz , Spain , and bought by the Turkish Navy in 1935 where it served until 1947 . During its development and tests in Spain , it was designated Submarino E - 1 , but actually it was a prototype ( lead ship ) of the German Type IA submarine . Development and design . The Netherlands - based NV Ingenieurskantoor voor Scheepsbouw ( IvS ) , a subsidiary of Deutsche Schiff - und Maschinenbau AG - AG Weser , started developing in the 1920s a submarine for Germany , circumventing the Treaty of Versailles ban on submarines . The Spanish government , during General Primo de Rivera ' s dictatorship showed interest for such a submarine for the Spanish Navy . Several German naval officers ( including Wilhelm Canaris ) visited Spain and struck a deal with a Spanish businessman , Horacio Echevarrieta . A single submarine was built in 1929 – 1930 , it was launched on October 22 , 1930 , and was tested at sea early in 1931 , under the manufacturer ' s designation of E - 1 , since no navy had yet commissioned the ship . The government of the Second Spanish Republic showed a clear preference for British submarine designs . Designers and builders then went to offer the design and the boat for sale to return their cost . Echevarrieta ' s imprisonment for his connection with the October 1934 Revolution made the Spanish Navy lose any interest in the submarine , which was finally sold to the Turkish Navy in 1935 . Soviet engineers participated in the sea trials of E - 1 and , as a result , 3 submarines of the improved E - 2 class were built in the Soviet Union ( see the article Soviet S class submarine . ) Operational history . It was commissioned by the Turkish Navy on December 29 , 1936 , and it served until 1947 .
Mission Héraclès Mission Héraclès was a 2001 operation of the French Navy , in support of the War in Afghanistan against the Taliban . On 21 November 2001 , France decided to send the aircraft carrier " Charles de Gaulle " to the Indian Ocean in support of Operation Enduring Freedom against Taliban - controlled Afghanistan . Task Force 473 , with 2 , 900 men under the command of Contre - Amiral François Cluzel , sailed on 1 December . The task force was composed of " Charles de Gaulle " , frigates " La Motte - Picquet " , " Jean de Vienne " and " Jean Bart " , the nuclear attack submarine " Rubis " , the tanker " Meuse " and the aviso " Commandant Ducuing " . Embarked air power comprised sixteen Super Étendard s , one E - 2C Hawkeye , two Rafale Ms and several helicopters . The Super Étendards carried out their first missions above Afghanistan on 19 December , executing reconnaissance and bombing missions , covering over 3 , 000 kilometres . Overall they carried out 140 missions , averaging 12 every day . On 18 February 2002 , a Helios observation satellite spotted abnormal activities near Gardez . The next day , after American Special Forces in the region confirmed these observations , " Charles de Gaulle " launched two reconnaissance Super Étendards . On 20 February , coalition forces entered the valley and Operation Anaconda began in early March . In March , Super Étendards and six Mirage 2000 aircraft carried out airstrikes against targets claimed to be al Qaeda . A few targets suggested by US forces were denied out of fear of hitting civilians . Nevertheless , French involvement was complimented on 11 March 2002 by US President George W . Bush , who mentioned " our good ally , France , has deployed nearly one - fourth of its navy to support Operation Enduring Freedom " . At this point , the French air complement had been increased to 16 Super Étendards , 6 Mirage 2000 D , 5 Rafales , and two Hawkeye AWACS . From February , the air wings of " Charles de Gaulle " and USS " John C . Stennis " landed on each other ' s decks as a means of strengthening the ties between the allies . On 2 May , " Charles de Gaulle " arrived in Singapore for relief and returned to Oman on 18 May .
Akizuki - class destroyer ( 1959 ) The " Akizuki " class destroyer was a destroyer class built for the Japan Maritime Self - Defense Force ( JMSDF ) in the late 1950s . This class was planned to be a flotilla leader with the enhanced command and control capability , so sometimes this class was classified as the " DDC " ( commanding destroyer ) unofficially . At the beginning , the American Military Assistance Advisory Group - Japan ( MAAG - J ) recommended a modified version of the American , but Japan had already constructed surface combatants of their own at that time . So finally , the project of this class was financed by the Off Shore Procurement ( OSP ) of United States , but design and construction were completely indigenous . Like its predecessor " Murasame " - class DDAs and " Ayanami " - class DDKs , this class adopted a " long forecastle " design with inclined afterdeck called , named after the scenic sloping street in Nagasaki City . With the enlargement of the hull , the steam turbine propulsion system was uprated with higher - pressure boilers ( 570 psi ) . This class was equipped with both gunnery weapons of " Murasame " - class DDAs and torpedo / mine weapons of " Ayanami " - class DDKs . And alongside these anti - submarine weapons similar to them of the " Ayanami " - class , this class was the first vessels equipped with a Mk . 108 Weapon Alpha . The JMSDF desired this American brand - new ASW rocket launcher earnestly , but then , it became clear that it was not as good as it was supposed to be . So later , it was replaced by a Type 71 375mm quadruple ASW rocket launcher ( Japanese version of the ) in 1976 .
Escort Group B2 Escort Group B2 was a convoy escort British formation of the Royal Navy which saw action during the Second World War , principally in the Battle of the Atlantic . The group was under the command of Cdr Donald Macintyre , one of Britains most successful anti - submarine warfare commanders . Formation . Escort Group B2 was one of seven British escort groups which served with the Mid - Ocean Escort Force ( MOEF ) , which provided convoy protection in the most dangerous midsection of the North Atlantic route . The group was formed in the spring of 1942 and originally consisted of the " Havant " - class destroyer " Hesperus " as group leader with the Town class destroyer " Leamington " , V - class destroyer " Veteran " , and the Flower - class corvette s " Gentian " , " Clematis " , " Sweetbriar " and " Vervain " . Later in the year the low - endurance destroyers " Leamington " and " Veteran " were replaced by long - range V & W destroyer s " Vanessa " and " Whitehall " and the Flower - class corvettes " Heather " , " Campanula " , and " Mignonette " joined the group . Service history . The group commenced convoy escort duties in April 1942 , in the critical mid - ocean section of the North Atlantic route , operating between Londonderry and St John ' s Newfoundland . The first convoys , in the spring of 1942 , were uneventful and as the pace of the Battle of the Atlantic hotted up in the summer and autumn the group ' s convoys were escorted without loss . In October 1942 , ON 138 came under attack but a vigorous defence by B2 ensured no ships were lost . In December 1942 it was accompanying HX 219 when the convoy came under attack . " Hesperus " responded and counter - attacked and destroyed " U - 357 " by ramming it . As a result " Hesperus " was out of action for 2 months . In February 1943 a depleted B2 under temporary command of Cdr Proudfoot escorted Convoy SC 118 . This convoy came under attack by wolfpack " Pfeil " and lost eight ships for three U - boats destroyed in one of the hardest fought battles of the campaign . In April during an attack on ONS 4 , ships of the group sank " U - 191 " . In May in an attack on SC 129 B2 sank " U - 186 " and damaged " U - 402 " and " U - 223 " for the loss of two ships . A series of uneventful convoys followed , as the U - boat arm withdrew from the North Atlantic after Black May , a state of affairs which continued until the end of the year . During this period the group had escorted over 30 convoys , totalling over 900 ships of which only 10 were lost .

' Ujayf ibn ' Anbasa ʾUjayf ibn ʾAnbasa ( died 838 ) was one of the senior - most military leaders of the Abbasid Caliphate under the caliphs al - Ma ' mun and al - Mu ' tasim . Biography . Nothing is known of his family , but he was probably of native Khurasani or Transoxiania n origin . He appears in the early 9th century as a follower of the rebel governor Rafi ibn al - Layth , but quickly abandoned him along with most of the people of Ferghana and Tashkent when Caliph Harun al - Rashid himself campaigned to Khurasan in 808 . ' Ujayf probably belonged to the same social group as the other eastern Iranian generals who were later employed by al - Mu ' tasim in his " Turkish " guard , and who were minor princes or drawn from the landed gentry ( " dihqan s " ) . Under al - Ma ' mun ( r . 813 – 833 ) , Ujayf became a distinguished general , campaigning in northern Persia and suppressing the Kharijite revolt of Bilal al - Dibabi in 829 . ' Ujayf maintained his position under Mu ' tasim , Ma ' mun ' s half - brother and successor , campaigning against the Zutt in southern Iraq in 834 , and leading a number of expeditions against the Byzantines in Asia Minor . ' Ujayf was one of the military leaders to receive cantonments for themselves and their troops at Mu ' tasim ' s new capital at Samarra , and he was granted the revenue from the market of the town of Ishtikhan ( near Samarkand ) as a reward . In 838 , however , during Mu ' tasim ' s great campaign against the Byzantine city of Amorium , ' Ujayf fell out with the caliph over the provisioning of the army ; to this were added other perceived slights , and ' Ujayf and his followers began to conspire against the caliph . ' Ujayf was probably a leading member of a powerful group within the Abbasid military establishment that already back in 833 had opposed Mu ' tasim ' s accession , and had favoured his nephew , Ma ' mun ' s son al - Abbas . The agitation then had only subsided after Abbas himself swore allegiance to his uncle , but now a conspiracy was formed to kill Mu ' tasim as well as his top Turkish commanders , al - Afshin and Ashinas . The plot was uncovered , however , and the ringleaders were arrested , with ' Ujayf being executed .
