Enzo Grossi Enzo Grossi ( 20 April 1908 in San Epigma , Brazil and died 11 August 1960 in Argentina ; was an officer in the Regia Marina ( Italian Navy ) during World War II . During World War II he commanded the U - Boote " Medusa " and " Barbarigo " . He claimed that on May 20 , 1942 he attacked and sank a Maryland - class USN battleship . He also believed that he surface attacked and sank a Mississippi - class USN battleship on October 6 , 1942 . Both of these attacks were proved to be unsuccessful and Mussolini ' s order to promote Grossi to Capitano di Fregata and the prestigious award of " Medaglia d ' oro al valor militare " was premature . ( Luigi Rizzo , a World War I naval hero was honred with the same highly prestigious award , who sank the Austro - Hungarian battleship Szent Istvan ) . After the war it was declared that he was not entitled to the honors and he was demoted to the infantry private rank . One of the ships at which he had fired in vain was the corvette " Petunia " . Italian Naval researchers carefully researched Grossi ' s claims and came to conclusions how the failed attacks might have occurred and left Grossi in the belief that he successfully attacked and sank the major battleships .

Fort Adair Fort Adair ( sometimes called Adair ' s Station ) was a stockade fortification that served as a supply depot for early settlers migrating west . The structure was constructed in 1788 or around 1791 at Grassy Valley , an early European settlement in the Appalachian Ridge - and - Valley region of East Tennessee . The presence of a supply station encouraged more Europeans to settle in the vicinity . The town of Fountain Head was founded around Fort Adair by settlers of Grassy Valley and later renamed to Fountain City . Since its annexation in 1962 , Fountain City is a neighborhood of northern Knoxville , Tennessee . History . Captain John Adair ( 1732 – 1827 ) , a native of Ireland , built Fort Adair either in 1788 or around 1791 at Grassy Valley , Tennessee . The station was intended to provide supplies for westward - bound migrants and to protect them from hostile Cherokee Indians during the years of the Chickamauga Wars . The existence of a supply depot attracted European settlers to the area and contributed to the development of a settlement around the fortification . Nearby springs provided a constant source of fresh water . Fort Adair served as a supply station for the Cumberland Guard and later for the town of Nashborough , which would become modern Nashville . The Cumberland Guard was a militia organization providing armed protection to migrants to the Cumberland settlements , which would later develop into the town of Nashborough . The present day community of Fountain City began to develop around the supply depot Fort Adair shortly after its completion . Originally named " Grassy Valley " , the settlement was renamed to " Fountain Head " and later to " Fountain City " to avoid confusion with another settlement of the same name . Since its annexation in 1962 , Fountain City is a neighborhood of northern Knoxville , Tennessee . Location . Fort Adair was located in the Appalachian Ridge - and - Valley region of East Tennessee , which is characterized by long , narrow ridges in a northeast - southwest direction .

In 1946 , the station was placed completely in the hands the Canadian Army when the British withdrew their support . The responsibility for administrating the station , including the Suffield Block , was transferred to the Defence Research Board on April 30 , 1947 by Order in Council PC 101 / 1727 . In August 1950 , the station was renamed to the Suffield Experimental Station ( SES ) . In July 1967 , the Suffield Experimental Station was renamed to the Defence Research Establishment Suffield ( DRES ) . On December 1 , 1971 , the Canadian Forces Base Suffield ( CFB Suffield ) was officially created and allocated to Mobile Command . A number of personnel and support functions were transferred from DRES to CFB Suffield and CFB Suffield was co - located with the Research Establishment . In 1974 , the Defence Research Board evolved into the Research and Development Branch which was administered under the Assistant Deputy Minister Materiel of the Canadian Department of National Defence . Another reorganization followed on April 1 , 2000 when the Research and Development Branch was placed under the Assistant Deputy Minister Science & Technology and renamed to Defence Research and Development Canada ( DRDC ) . DRDC Suffield today . Research areas at the Centre focus on military engineering , mobility and autonomous systems , weapons system evaluation and chemical - biological defence . These scientific and technological activities are supported by meteorological , photographic , information , design and development , materiel management and field support services .

Stanford Training Area Stanford Training Area ( STANTA ) , originally known as Stanford Battle Area , is a British Army training area situated in the English county of Norfolk . The area is approximately in size ; it is some north of the town of Thetford and south - west of the city of Norwich . The site is run by the Operational Training and Advisory Group ( OPTAG ) . The area was originally established in 1942 when a battle training area was required and a ' Nazi village ' established . Military exercises were already known in the area ; tanks had deployed to Thetford in the First World War . The complete takeover involved the evacuation of the villages of Buckenham Tofts , Langford , Stanford , Sturston , Tottington and West Tofts . The area was used during the run - up to the D - Day invasion and since then has hosted many exercises . A regular visitor is 16 Air Assault Brigade who hold their annual Gryphon exercises there . In 2009 a village designed to replicate its Afghan equivalent , was added to the Battle Area for the training of troops deployed in support of the War in Afghanistan . The site , built at a cost of £14 million , is state of the art and manned by Afghan nationals , ex - Gurkha soldiers and amputee actors , who simulate the Afghan National Army , locals and wounded soldiers . The village includes houses , a market and a mosque . It also features a system that pumps out smells like rotten meat and sewage . The battle area includes four historic churches , the one at West Tofts having been restored by Pugin and a new " church " that forms part of the specially constructed village of Eastmere . Eastmere was originally built to give soldiers experience of fighting on the northern European plains . There is a short landing strip for Harrier aircraft at As a live firing area , access is not allowed without special permission from the Army . In the main this is limited to a number of tours a year and compassionate grounds for former residents of the villages or their relatives . The area forms part of the distinctive Breckland landscape region , a gorse - covered sandy heath which offers poor agricultural opportunities . Arguably , its use as a military training area has safeguarded a substantial archaeological landscape . It is the home of a wealth of rare species of flora and fauna already lost in other parts of the country . Parts of the training area are designated Site of Special Scientific Interest ( SSSI ) . The battle area has had much less impact than the establishment of Thetford Forest on adjoining land . The battle area was used in the filming of many of the episodes of the comedy series " Dad ' s Army " .
