San Clemente Island Air Force Station Ground Equipment Facility J - 36A ( San Clemente Island Air Force Station until 1960 ) is a Federal Aviation Administration ( FAA ) radar station of the Joint Surveillance System ( JSS ) in the Western Air Defense Sector ( WADS ) of NORAD . History . In World War II , Los Angeles Harbor Defenses included posts on some islands of Southern California , e . g . in March 1942 , " a 200 - man Army detachment set up two radar stations " on San Clemente Island , and in March 1944 , Navy " Seabees built two permanent radar installations on the island . " USAF radar station . San Clemente Island Air Force Station was Permanent System radar station LP - 39 which began operations in November 1951 with an AN / TPS - 1 C general surveillance radar . Designated as one of two offshore radar stations at the Southern California coast ( cf . Santa Rosa Island Air Force Station ) , the 670th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron was activated at the station on tbd by the 27th Air Division . As an AC & W radar station , the facility provided radar tracks for a Manual Air Defense Control Center to direct ground - control intercepttion ( GCI ) of unidentified aircraft . The Air Force Station was upgraded to designation P - 39 with a single AN / FPS - 3 radar in May 1952 and an AN / FPS - 4 height - finding radar the following year . In 1955 an AN / FPS - 8 was added and subsequently converted to an AN / GPS - 3 and in 1956 , an AN / FPS - 6 height - finder replaced the AN / FPS - 4 . As with other ADC stations replaced by facilities of the joint - use site system ( JUSS ) , San Clemente Island AFS was replaced in 1960 , and 670th operations moved to the JUSS RP - 39 station at San Pedro Hill AFS with barracks at Ft MacArthur near the Nike direction center . In 1960 , San Clemente Island transferred to the Navy and the USAF operations building was subsequently used as a Navy photo lab ( the AFS site is vacant , deteriorating and difficult to reach . ) USGS radar station . In 1966 ( July 30 - August 9 ) , field activity D - 4 - 66 - SC of the United States Geological Survey in the Coastal and Marine Geology Program used San Clemente Island with a Western Electric M - 33 radar for a study of the " Bathymetry and Structure of San Clemente Island " ( e . g . , the " CURV vehicle of Naval Undersea Research and Development Center , was . . . used for seafloor sampling . " ) Mount Thirst radar station . In 1972 south of the former AFS , the Navy installed an AN / FPS - 20 general surveillance radar at Mount Thirst ( ) . The FPS - 20 was later modified to an AN / FPS - 93A in an Arctic Tower for range safety and bombing exercises . Joint Surveillance System . In the late 1990s , an Air Route Surveillance Radar ( ARSR - 4 ) radar at Mount Thirst replaced the AN / FPS - 93A , and is now shared with the Air Force for the JSS program ( the FAA maintains the radar for the Navy , but reportedly does not use the data ) . Station Tombstone . The late 1980s Station Tombstone Radar , an AN / SPS - 73 surface search radar , is located north of Mt . Thirst .
Point - class sealift ship The Point class is a class of six roll - on / roll - off sealift ships procured under a Private Finance Initiative and available for use as naval auxiliaries to the British armed forces . They were the result of the Strategic Defence Review and are designed for the strategic transport of military cargoes and vehicles in times of need . The UK Ministry of Defence has purchased a 22 - year charter from Foreland Shipping ( previously named " AWSR Shipping " ) , who own , operate and crew the ships , utilising them as merchantmen when they are not required for military service . The small British crews are provided by Foreland Shipping and are required to be sponsored reserves as a condition of service , which means they can be called up to become part of the Armed Forces in times of crisis . The benefits of this is that it guarantees crews in times of crisis , it means crew members can be expected to work under the Armed Forces Act 2006 rather than the Merchant Navy Code of Conduct , and that they would be classed as combatants and be afforded the rights granted under the Geneva Convention . Of the six ships , two were on charter to the civilian company " Transfennica " operating a RoRo cargo ferry service in the Baltic Sea , connecting Hanko in Finland and Lübeck in Germany . As of January 2009 , they are now on charter to the civilian company " Finnlines " in the Baltic . Other ships have also been involved in commercial activity with other companies and other militaries . All ships are available to the UK MOD at very short notice if required . The ships have been employed more than was originally anticipated , having been on MoD duties almost constantly since the build - up to the Iraq invasion in 2003 . Four ships were built by the German company Flensburger Schiffbau - Gesellschaft , the balance being built by Harland and Wolff in Belfast . All are named for British points and headlands . They replaced the Royal Fleet Auxiliaries RFA " Sea Centurion " and " Sea Crusader " in service . Operational History . MV Hartland Point was part of the COUGAR 12 Response Force Task Group and also active in operations off the Cornish coast in 2012 . MV Hurst Point made a port call at Gibraltar in August 2013 and is part of the COUGAR 13 Response Force Task Group .
Type 97 torpedo The Type 97 was a diameter torpedo used by the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II . Intended for use with Japan ' s " Ko - hyoteki " class midget submarines , the torpedo was based on the Type 93 " Long Lance " used by larger Japanese submarines , but redesigned to meet the smaller physical dimensions of the midgets ' two torpedo tubes . It was not a great success . Its first operational use was in the attack on Pearl Harbor , after which it was modified as the Type 97 Special , sometimes known as the Type 98 . It had a warhead and a range of at . Type 97 Special . Four Type 97 Special torpedoes were fired during the Japanese midget submarine raid on Sydney Harbour in the early hours of June 1 , 1942 . Two were fired by the midget " M - 24 " and aimed at the American heavy cruiser USS " Chicago " , then tied to the No 2 . buoy at Garden Island in Sydney Harbour . Both missed . One struck the harbour wall beneath the depot ship HMAS " Kuttabul " , sinking the converted ferry and killing 19 Australian and 2 British sailors aboard . The second failed to arm , and ran harmlessly aground at Garden Island . The remaining two were fired in Sydney Harbour by the midget " M - 21 " . The timing of their firing and their target , if any , are unknown . " M - 21 " had been rammed and depth charged by " HMAS Yandra " at the entrance to Sydney Harbour around 2300 on May 31 , but managed to recover sufficiently to enter the harbour at 03 : 01 on June 1 . M - 21 was eventually cornered and sunk at 05 : 15 on June 1 in Taylors Bay inside Sydney Harbour . When the wreck was raised on June 4 , both torpedoes had been fired . However the bow caps covering the torpedo tubes failed to drop clear , instead remaining caught in the buckled bow cage of the submarine . The No . 1 torpedo travelled approximately three feet clear of the tube before jamming . The No . 2 torpedo travelled 18 inches before it too jammed .

Ralph Burton Ralph Burton ( d . 1768 in Scarborough , Yorkshire , England ) was a British soldier and Canadian settler . Burton ' s military career began in the 2nd Troop of Horse Grenadier Guards , where he rose to the rank of major , serving under George Augustus Eliott , the defender of Gibraltar . In 1754 , Burton was appointed lieutenant - colonel of the 48th Foot , which was involved in the captures of Quebec in 1759 and Martinique and Havanna in 1762 . In 1760 , General Jeffery Amherst , Governor General of British North America , appointed him lieutenant governor of the Trois - Rivières district while New France remained under British military rule . On 31 January 1761 Burton formed the 95th Regiment of Foot in South Carolina from several independent companies . The regiment fought successfully against the Cherokees . It then transferred to Barbados . From there it participated in the capture of Martinique , the occupation of Grenada , and the siege of Havana ( 1762 ) .
