Daewoo Precision Industries K5 The Daewoo Precision Industries K5 is a 9 mm semi - automatic pistol produced by S & T Daewoo of South Korea . The K5 was produced in 1989 . It is recoil operated and uses a conventional Browning - type locking system . It is mostly carried by Commissioned Officers in the Republic of Korea Armed Forces . Design . The K5 is a compact , lightweight pistol with an unconventional trigger mechanism called " fast action " . The frame is composed of an aluminum alloy with a matte finish , while the slide is of blued steel . The " fast action " trigger mechanism allows the hammer to be decocked while still keeping the mainspring compressed . A light pull on the trigger causes the hammer to flick back , after which the pistol would behave in conventional single - action ( SA ) mode . The pistol can also be fired in conventional single - and double - action ( DA ) modes . The " fast action " mode allows the trigger travel of DA mode and the trigger weight of SA mode . This allows a more accurate first shot due to the lighter weight of the trigger . It is also safer due to the longer trigger travel required to fire the pistol . The factory magazines hold 13 rounds . Smith & Wesson 59 - series magazines are compatible with the DP51 but will protrude slightly . The pistol also has an ambidextrous safety and three - dot sights . It is also equipped with a firing pin block which ( as its name implies ) blocks the firing pin from moving forward unless the trigger is pulled .
Canon de 240 L Mle 1884 The Canon de 240 L Modele 1884 started life as a coastal artillery piece for use in coastal fortification s . However the events of 1914 dictated that it would soon see action inland as heavy field artillery during World War I . Although the majority of combatants had heavy field artillery prior to the outbreak of war , none had adequate numbers of heavy guns in service , nor had they foreseen the growing importance of heavy artillery once the Western Front stagnated and trench warfare set in . All sides withdrew guns from their fortresses and from storage and built suitable field carriages in an effort to give their forces the heavy field artillery needed to deal with trenches and hardened concrete fortifications . The St . Chamond company was given the task of building a carriage for the Modele 1884 and this carriage could be towed in two loads by tractors and assembled by winches . The initial conversion were so successful that St . Chamond built another 60 new guns and 60 spare barrels . The Modele 1884 was one of the few heavy guns that could be deployed without the need for rail carriage . Guns that survived the war were designated the " Canon de Mle 84 / 17 " and used again during World War II . Guns captured by Germany after the Fall of France were designated " Kanone 564 ( f ) " and used for coastal defense .
Armilla patrol The Armilla patrol is the British Royal Navy ' s permanent presence in the Persian Gulf . The Royal Navy withdrew its forces from the Persian Gulf in 1971 in line with the UK ' s general retreat from imperial commitments . However , tensions in the area remained high and Royal Navy ships were still a frequent sight in the area . In 1980 , war broke out between Iraq and Iran . In response to the increased danger to British shipping and other British interests , a Royal Navy escort vessel was sent to the Persian Gulf and at least one has remained there ever since . In addition to the surface combatant , the Royal Navy has also maintained an auxiliary of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary ( RFA ) in the Persian Gulf . The Armilla Patrol was praised by British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and a call was made in parliament for an Armilla Patrol Medal to go to those serving in the Patrol at the time in 1989 . Typical Armilla patrol deployments last for six months or so , with the supporting RFA vessel sometimes spending an aggregate total of over a year in the area . The patrol is reinforced , with an aircraft carrier or task group in times of high tension or British involvement in wartime operations or by frigates or destroyers transiting the area for other operations in the Far East or Pacific . Beginning in 2006 the surface combatant deployed has been tasked with patrol in the Persian Gulf and as part of Operation Oracle , the UK ' s assistance to the United States in its operations in the Arabian Sea , along with flexibility in tasking for operations in the Far East and Pacific . The largest British presence in the Persian Gulf during the Armilla patrol has been during the two operations against Iraq . In 1991 , eight Royal Navy ships supported by a number of RFA vessels were sent to the area . In 2003 , over 30 British warships and auxiliaries were involved in the invasion of Iraq . A number of vessels , including minesweepers , survey vessels and submarines , are periodically rotated through the area to provide additional capability . During the Falklands war , the Royal New Zealand Navy dispatched frigates to carry out the Armilla patrol duties , freeing the British ships on station for service with the Royal Navy task force tasked with freeing the Falkland Islands from the Argentine invasion .

HMS Trompeuse ( 1797 ) HMS " Trompeuse " was the French privateer " Mercure " , captured in 1797 . She foundered in the English Channel in 1800 . Origins . Her origins are not clear . Two seminal references declare that captured " Mercure " in May 1797 . However , there is no letter in the " London Gazette " for " Melampus " capturing a " Mercure " in 1797 , which by itself is not unusual , but two other sources , one of them a letter in the " London Gazette " by the captain of " Melampus " , puts his capture of a " Mercure " in February 1799 ( see below ) . Winfield has " Mercure " being named " Trompeuse " and registered in September 1798 . He reports that she was then commissioned into the Royal Navy a year later under Commander John Parker Robinson . However , there was an earlier capture of a privateer " Mercure " whose dates better fit these facts . On 31 August 1798 , and captured the French privateer " Mercure " , pierced for 20 guns but carrying 18 , and with a crew of 132 men . She had sailed from Bordeaux the day before and was a new vessel , copper - bottomed and fastened .

Totić kidnapping Totić kidnapping was an April 1993 kidnapping of Živko Totić , the head of the Croatian Defence Council ( HVO ) Military Police in Zenica and a few other persons . It is alleged that the kidnapping was performed by " Muslim forces " . The claim is presented by the Defence case during " Kupreškić trial " in the ICTY against Croat soldiers accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity on Bosniaks during Lašva Valley ethnic cleansing . It is said the kidnapping sparked the Lašva Valley ethnic cleansing . However , the ICTY found that the evidence revealed a tendency on the Croat side to spread alarm among the Croat population . A videotape of a news programme reporting the kidnapping of Živko Totić , is also instructive . The broadcaster recites all the alleged crimes committed by the Bosniaks against the Croats in an apparent attempt to incite hatred against the Bosnian Muslims and Bosnian Army . This vitiates Zvonimir Cilic ' s assertion that the Croat leadership was trying to achieve conciliation among ethnic groups , but to prepare their own population for an attack on the Bosnian Muslims creating misinformation and propaganda . The Kidnapping . Bosnian Army quickly ordered all units to help find the kidnapped men . During the ICTY it was claimed that the kidnappings were in response to HVO forces arresting and detaining 13 Bosnian Mujahideen . The ICTY Trial Chamber concluded that the Bosnian Army or the Bosniaks in general did plan to launch an attack on the Croats on 15 – 16 April 1993 . Countrary , the ICTY Trial Chamber in the " Kordić and Čerkez case " based on the evidence of numerous HVO attacks at that time concluded that by April 1993 Croat leadership had a common design or plan conceived and executed to ethnically cleanse Bosniaks from the Lašva Valley . Dario Kordić , as the local political leader , was found to be the planner and instigator of this plan .
