Sa ' ar 5 - class corvette Sa ' ar 5 ( סער ) is a class of Israeli Navy corvette , designed based on lessons learned from the Sa ' ar 4 . 5 class ships . Three Sa ' ar 5 ships were built by Northrop Grumman Ship Systems ( formerly Litton - Ingalls Shipbuilding Corporation of Pascagoula , Mississippi ) for the Israeli Navy , based on Israeli designs . Three such ships have been built , all of which are in service with the Israeli Navy . They are the largest surface warships in Israel ' s naval fleet . Although they are " corvettes " due to their small size and crew of only 71 , their weaponry and speed are almost comparable to that of a frigate . They are equipped with sonar , torpedoes , missile launchers , electronic warfare capabilities and decoys , a gun mount , and a helipad and helicopter hangar . The first of class , INS Eilat , was launched in February 1993 , followed by INS Lahav in August 1993 and INS Hanit in March 1994 . Combat history . During the 2006 Lebanon War , the INS " Hanit " was attacked by Hezbollah as it was enforcing a naval blockade off Beirut . Hezbollah used an Iranian version of the Chinese C - 802 missile . The resulting explosion caused the landing pad to cave in and be engulfed in flames that threatened the aviation fuel storage below , and the flames were not fully extinguished until several hours later . The ship suffered some damage , but stayed afloat , got itself out of the line of fire , and made the rest of the journey back to Ashdod for repairs on its own . The ship was repaired and resumed its combat role three weeks later . Four IDF sailors were killed . An investigation into the incident by the Israeli Navy concluded that the missile was indeed a C - 802 which hit a crane in the rear of the ship . The ship ' s radar system was not fully functional at the time , and both the ECM and the Barak anti - missile systems were in a two - minute stand - by mode . An officer ordered that the anti - missile defenses be switched off about an hour prior to the attack without notifying the captain . The decision was made due to intelligence assessments that Hezbollah did not have the capability to hit Israeli warships . The malfunction in ship ' s radar was also discovered , but the staff chose not to inform the captain . In August 2009 , the INS " Eilat " and INS " Hanit " passed through the Suez Canal into the Red Sea , along with a Dolphin class submarine . The move was seen as a possible warning to Iran . On 31 May 2010 , the INS " Lahav " and the INS " Hanit " participated in the Gaza flotilla raid , meant to stop a convoy of ships from breaching the blockade of the Gaza Strip , along with the missile boat INS " Nitzachon " . Ships . Three ships of the Sa ' ar 5 - class have been built :
HMS Vulture ( 1843 ) HMS Vulture was a steam - powered wooden - hulled second - class paddle frigate of the Royal Navy . The " Vulture " carried 6 guns - two 8 - inch guns of 95 cwt mounted on pivots at bow and stern , and four 8 - inch guns of 65 cwt on broadside trucks , and had a displacement of 1 , 960 tons . She was launched on 21 September 1843 and was then fitted with Fairbairn engines in East India Docks until 23 January 1844 . She had cost £24 , 323 to build and £22 , 395 to fit out ( including £21 , 429 for the 470 NHP engines . The " Vulture " was first commissioned in February 1845 under Captain J . McDougall , for the West Indies , and completed fitting for sea ( for a further £9 , 173 ) at Sheerness Dockyard until 7 June 1845 . She paid off on return from the East Indies in 1847 , and underwent a Small Repair at Sheerness and Woolwich in 1848 - 49 ( for £17 , 334 ) . She was recommissioned in November 1852 under the was command of Captain Frederick Henry Hastings Glasse , and was used in the Baltic theatre of the Crimean War in 1854 . She was in action with the Russians on 7 June 1854 , in the action at Gamla Carleby , Finland . She was recommissioned again in December 1859 under Captain C . Packer , for service in the Mediterranean . The ship was finally decommissioned in 1860 , and laid up at Portsmouth . She was sold in 1866 to Castle & Son , Charlton to be broken up . http : / / www . pdavis . nl / Russia . htm
Archibald Cochrane ( Royal Navy officer ) Captain Archibald Cochrane was a Royal Navy officer of the early nineteenth century , who served in the Napoleonic Wars . His most noticeable activity came early in his career when he was employed as a midshipman aboard his brother , Commander Thomas Cochrane ' s ( known as Lord Cochrane ) ship HMS " Speedy " . Aboard " Speedy " , Cochrane participated in the engagement and capture of the Spanish frigate " Gamo " , which was more than three times the size of the British ship . Although captured by the French shortly afterwards , Cochrane ' s career continued successfully and he was promoted to lieutenant in 1804 , sailing to the East Indies on HMS " Victor " and rapidly gaining promotion to post captain in the frigate HMS " Fox " . In 1811 , Cochrane returned to Europe and did not serve again , retiring to Sunderland and dying in 1829 . Life . Archibald Cochrane was born in 1783 , the son of Archibald Cochrane , 9th Earl of Dundonald and his first wife Anna Gilchrist . Archibald had two elder brothers , Thomas Cochrane and William Erskine Cochrane , both of whom would have successful military careers , Thomas in the Royal Navy and William in the British Army . Sent to sea at a young age , by 1799 Archibald was serving alongside Thomas , styled Lord Cochrane , as a midshipman in the ship of the line HMS " Barfleur " , flagship of Lord Keith in the Mediterranean . Following the capture of the French ship of the line " Genereux " in February 1800 , Lord Cochrane was placed in temporary command of the prize and took his younger brother aboard as part of the prize crew . The ship passed through a severe storm on the voyage to Port Mahon , and was almost sunk , the Cochrane brothers forced to climb the mainmast alone at the height of the storm to reef the sails . For his exertions , Lord Cochrane was promoted to commander and given command of the 14 - gun sloop HMS " Speedy " , again taking his brother aboard . Archibald Cochrane was involved in most of his brother ' s successful operations during the following year , including the capture of the Spanish frigate " Gamo " on 6 May 1801 . Attacked by the much larger warship , Cochrane took his tiny vessel alongside , and the Spanish sailors could not depress their guns sufficiently to open fire on it . Leading a boarding party , Archibald assisted in the fighting on deck and the successful capture of the ship . He later participated in a landing operation at Oropesa del Mar , but was captured when " Speedy " was seized by a French squadron under Charles Linois on 3 July 1801 . In 1804 , during the Napoleonic Wars , Cochrane was promoted to lieutenant , sailing for the East Indies in the sloop HMS " Victor " . Rapidly promoted , by 1807 he was post captain in command of the frigate HMS " Fox " and participated in the Raid on Griessie against the Dutch port of Griessie on Java in December . Cochrane remained in the East Indies until 1811 , when he returned to Britain and was not employed at sea again . He married in 1812 to Jane Mowbray and had six children , the family retiring to Sunderland , where he was popular in the community . He died in 1829 in Paris .
Australian women during World War I The role of Australian women during World War I was focused mainly upon their involvement in the provision of nursing services . Australian women also played a significiant role on the homefront , where they undertook fundraising and recruiting activities as well as organising comfort packages for soldiers serving overseas . Around the issue of conscription , women were involved in campaigning on both sides of the debate , while they were also equally involved in the New South Wales strike in 1917 . Nevertheless despite this involvement , women have never occupied a central position in the Australian version of the ANZAC myth , although since the 1970s their role has been examined in more detail as a result of the emergence of feminist historiography , and specialist histories such as the history of nursing . Nursing . One of the primary roles for Australian women during the war was nursing . The Australian Army Nursing Service ( AANS ) comprised more than 3000 nurses during the war , over 2 , 200 of whom served outside Australia . 21 AANS nurses died during their war service and a number shortly thereafter . Nurses were present on the Western Front , and in Greece , England , India , Egypt , and Italy . The AANS comprised trained nurses , trained masseuses , 14 ward assistants and 1 bacteriologist . They served not just in Australian military hospitals but also in British hospitals and in ships at sea . Hundreds of other Australian trained nurses served overseas with organisations including the British nursing services , Red Cross , St John Ambulance and the Australian Voluntary Hospital . Australia also sent a number of female VADs to work in military hospitals . An example of these groups is the 20 nurses and a masseuse who were recruited to work in French hospitals by the Australian Red Cross Society and were dubbed the " Bluebirds " in reference to the colour of their uniforms . Other volunteer work . The following women ' s voluntary organisations were involved in support work : Awards . The following women received medals or other awards for their war work : Opposition . A number of Australian women opposed the war , or certain aspects of it . Australian pacifists and anti - conscription activists during this period included Bella Guerin and Doris Blackburn .
Christian Frederick Beyers Christiaan Beyers ( 23 September 1869 – 7 December 1914 ) was a Boer general during the Second Boer War . Biography . As a young man , he went to the Transvaal , where he took a prominent part on the Boer side in the South African War , winning high distinction in the field and bearing the rank of general when peace was made in 1902 . Beyers had much influence , as soldier and statesman , among the Dutch - speaking people of South Africa , and was , with Generals Botha and Smuts , though in a less degree than they , one of the recognized leaders of the Transvaal Boers . When responsible government was granted to the Transvaal , Beyers became speaker of the Lower House . He showed in the speaker ' s chair remarkable gifts . He was acute , tolerant and rigidly impartial , thus making a deep impression upon English - speaking South Africans , who would have supported his claims to be the first speaker of the first South African House of Assembly , had they been pressed by Louis Botha , the first Prime Minister . Instead , Beyers was made commandant general of the Citizen Forces of South Africa , and in that capacity paid a visit to Great Britain , Germany , Switzerland and the Netherlands in 1912 . A man of fine physique , of passionate nature , and of profound religious convictions , Beyers , as commandant general of South Africa , was entertained with marked attentions during his visit to Germany by Kaiser Wilhelm II . When World War I broke out , he set himself in almost open opposition to the policy of the Botha government . For some months , this opposition smouldered . Then , at a moment when the South African expeditionary force was being mobilized for the invasion of German South West Africa , and when rebellion was already smouldering among the irreconcilables of the South African Dutch , Beyers resigned his post as commandant general in a letter addressed to General Smuts , then Minister of Defence , and published in " Het Volk " , an anti - government journal . In this letter he declared that he had always disapproved the Government ' s intention to invade German South West Africa and that this disapproval was shared by the great majority of the Dutch - speaking people of the Union . General Smuts replied in a stern letter declaring that the war was a test of the loyalty to their pledged word of the Dutch - speaking people , and accepting Beyers ' resignation . A few weeks later Beyers took the field as a leader of the Boer Rebels against the government , only to be overwhelmed by the government troops under the command of General Botha , to be driven from pillar to post as a fugitive , and to be drowned on 7 December 1914 , while trying to escape from his pursuers by crossing the Vaal River . His body was recovered two days later , and with his death the rebellion was brought to an end .
Fire and Movement Fire and movement or fire and maneuver is a military tactic that uses suppressive fire to decrease the enemy ' s ability to return fire , its organization unit cohesion , and morale . The tactic is used by small unit commanders on the modern battlefield . The " movement " part of the action consists of a separate organizational unit moving forward in greater safety afforded by the suppressive fire laid down on the enemy . History . Swedish King Gustavus Adolfus was likely the first to use the tactic in wartime , in the Thirty Years ' War against his Catholic opponents . During the First Boer War , it was a standard Boer tactic , and contributed to a series of victories , culminating at the Battle of Majuba Hill . Overview . Fire and movement can be performed by any unit made up of at least two soldiers . The first part of the military unit suppresses the enemy by firing from behind cover , while the second advances . After a short time , the advancing unit will halt behind cover and open fire , allowing the second to advance . The two parts of the unit will repeat the cycle until the objective is met . Enemy suppression can also be achieved with direct and / or indirect fire from combat support units . Artillery , mortars and armor are a few examples of combat support units often used in fire and movement . In the United States Military , a basic fire and movement tactic is called overwatch . There also exists several variations of overwatch , generally adding further description to more accurately describe the specific maneuver . A unit fires upon an enemy to distract or suppress them allowing another unit to assault , flank or encircle the enemy . The enemy will be pinned down and can not react , and will be forced to take cover until the flanking unit engages them . Suppression . Heavy and continuous suppression fire keeps an opponent in a defensive posture ( hunkered in their foxholes instead of taking aimed shots ) and therefore limits the enemy ' s overall firepower . Suppressive fire also prevents the enemy from properly assessing the attack and organizing a coherent and coordinated defense or counter - attack . Advance . While a base of fire is set up , the second unit will advance to cover in front , in the process setting up a new base of fire at this point . After a new base of fire has been set up , the first unit will advance , under cover of the new fire base , to a new position and set up another base of fire . Assault . These actions are repeated until the units have closed upon the enemy position . At this point they engage directly with the enemy , often with grenade - throwing , close - quarters battle techniques , and hand - to - hand combat .
Three - wheeled steam tank The Three - Wheeled Steam Tank was a project created in 1918 , and it was one of several new concepts offered to the United States Army under a program begun enthusiastically the previous year . One of these was the Holt Three - Wheeled Steam Tank , which is not to be confused with the Engineer Corps ' own steam tank , based on the British lozenge shape . History . It is not really a tank in the sense that we know today , as it has no caterpillar track s . Instead , it is more of a tractor being driven backwards with two large wheels at the front and a roller trailing behind . The main wheels were each powered by the steam engine , which was fuelled by kerosene - fired boilers . The three - part rear roller was fitted with a frame structure , and it was used to aid trench - crossing . The tank itself had a very high box structure . Like the Tracked Steam Tank and the Pioneer Company ' s Skeleton tank , which were produced in the same year , only one prototype was ever built . Although very impractical , it was much more heavily armed than its competitors .
Roxburgh Castle Roxburgh Castle was a castle overlooking the junction of the rivers Tweed and Teviot , in the Borders region of Scotland . It took its name from the royal burgh of Roxburgh , which the Scots destroyed along with the castle after capturing it in 1460 . Today the ruins stand in the grounds of Floors Castle , the seat of the Duke of Roxburghe , across the river from Kelso . History . The castle was founded by King David I . In 1174 it was surrendered to England after the capture of William I at Alnwick , and was often in English hands thereafter . The Scots made many attempts to regain the fortress . On 19 February 1314 it was retaken by Sir James Douglas ( the " Black Douglas " ) by disguising his men as cows , but was later lost again . The castle was Edward III of England ' s base of operations during his 1334 winter campaign against the Scots . Henry V of England made repairs to the castle after a Scottish siege in 1417 . In 1460 James II was killed whilst bombarding the castle , when one of his own cannons exploded . However Roxburgh was stormed , and James ' queen Mary of Guelders had the castle demolished . In 1545 , during the Rough Wooing , the English garrison commanded by Ralph Bulmer built a rectangular fort on the site at the instigation of the Earl of Hertford . This was destroyed in 1550 by the terms of the Treaty of Boulogne . The ruins of Roxburgh Castle stand in the grounds of Floors Castle , the seat of the Duke of Roxburghe . These consist of a large mound , with very little stonework visible . In his books " The Borders " and " Arthur & the Lost Kingdoms " , Alistair Moffat argues that an ancient fort on the site of Roxburgh Castle was Camelot . The 1314 capture of the castle is one of the inspirations of " The Three Perils of Man " by James Hogg .
USS MacKenzie ( DD - 175 ) USS " MacKenzie " ( DD – 175 ) was a " Wickes " class destroyer in the United States Navy following World War I , later transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy as the " Annapolis " - class destroyer HMCS " Annapolis " . History . The second Navy ship to be named for Alexander Slidell MacKenzie , she was laid down by the Union Iron Works , San Francisco , California , 4 July 1918 ; launched 29 September 1919 ; sponsored by Mrs . Percy J . Cotton , and commissioned 25 July 1919 , Lieutenant Commander E . T . Oates in command . On 17 July 1920 , she was designated DD - 175 . Following commissioning and shakedown , " MacKenzie " became a unit of the Pacific Fleet and operated with Destroyer Squadrons 2 and 4 until decommissioned at Mare Island 27 May 1922 . " MacKenzie " remained in reserve until she recommissioned at San Diego , 6 November 1939 . In 1940 , the ship was one of 50 destroyers exchanged , under the terms of the Destroyers for Bases Agreement , for strategic bases off the North American coast . She arrived at Halifax , Nova Scotia , 20 September 1940 . There , on the 24th , she decommissioned , was turned over to the Royal Canadian Navy and recommissioned HMCS " Annapolis " . " MacKenzie " was struck from the US Navy list 8 January 1941 . HMCS " Annapolis " . Following the Canadian practice of naming destroyers after Canadian rivers , " Annapolis " was named after the Annapolis River of Nova Scotia ; and , with deference to the U . S . origin , sharing a name of significance to the United States Naval Academy . Until 1944 , " Annapolis " sailed with the Halifax and Western Local Escort Force s escorting convoys from east of St . Johns , Newfoundland , to New York . In April 1944 , she was attached to HMCS " Cornwallis " , near Annapolis , Nova Scotia , where she remained as a training ship until the end of the war . On 4 June 1945 , she was turned over to the War Assets Corporation and sold to Frankel Brothers , Ltd . , of Toronto for scrapping . The ship ' s bell of HMCS " Annapolis " is currently held by the town of Annapolis Royal in Nova Scotia . The Christening Bells Project at Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt Naval and Military Museum includes information from the ship ' s bell of HMCS " Annapolis " , which was used for baptism of babies onboard ship .
Hollister brothers The Hollister brothers were three sailors in the United States Navy during World War II , who were killed in 1943 . Unlike the Sullivan brothers , they were not all in the same unit . Lyle Eugene Hollister , born 6 July 1923 in Sioux Falls , South Dakota , enlisted in the Navy on 26 March 1941 at Minneapolis , Minn . Radioman Second Class Hollister first served in " Prairie " ( AD - 15 ) before being assigned to " Plunkett " ( DD - 431 ) and " Relief " ( AH - 1 ) . After duty at the Naval Station Key West , Hollister was re - assigned to " Plunkett " . He was reported missing in action as result of an engagement of " Plunkett " with enemy aircraft during the assault on Anzio , September 1943 . Two years younger than their brother , twins William Howard Hollister and Richard Jerome Hollister were born 22 November 1925 at Sioux Falls , S . Dak . They enlisted in the Navy 2 March 1943 at Minneapolis . Both were serving in " Liscome Bay " ( CVE - 56 ) when that carrier was torpedo ed in the Gilbert Islands area 24 November 1943 . William died from wounds received in this action ; Richard was reported missing and presumed dead . All three brothers were posthumously awarded the Purple Heart . Namesake . In 1945 , the destroyer USS " Hollister " ( DD - 788 ) was named in their honor .
