In July 1943 , No . 31 RDF was decommissioned and No . 5 Radio School was created in its place by the Royal Canadian Air Force ( RCAF ) , with the base becoming RCAF Station Clinton . In June 1944 the BCATP began to scale back and No 5 Radio School was transferred to the RCAF ' s Home War Operations Training command . Unlike many RCAF stations across Canada , RCAF Station Clinton was not mothballed at the end of the Second World War and in November 1945 became home to the No . 1 Radar and Communications School ( No . 1 R & CS ) , which it co - hosted with nearby RCAF Station Centralia . During the Cold War , RCAF Station Clinton hosted other units , including No . 12 Examination Unit , No . 1 Air Radio Officer School , School of Food Services , and the Aerospace Engineering ( AERE ) Officer School . The February 1 , 1968 merger of the RCAF with the Royal Canadian Navy and Canadian Army to form the Canadian Forces saw RCAF Station Clinton change its name to Canadian Forces Base Clinton or CFB Clinton . The merger saw the Canadian Forces rationalize and consolidate many of its facilities to avoid duplication and CFB Clinton was closed by 1971 with its remaining units distributed to other facilities . Following the closure of the base , the buildings were sold to real estate developer John Van Gastel and now make up the small village of Vanastra , Ontario . The murder of Lynn Harper . On June 9 , 1959 , a 12 - year - old girl who lived in the private married quarters on the base disappeared after accepting a ride on the bicycle of 14 - year - old classmate Steven Truscott .

Truscott was arrested , denied many of the civilized considerations not yet enshrined in law as ' rights ' ( such as full disclosure of the evidence against him ) and convicted of Capital Murder . He was not convicted of rape yet this was always presented as a motive . His sentence was to be death by hanging but this was commuted to life in prison . This death sentence is often credited for bringing an end to the death penalty in Canada . In addition Truscott never exhibited any pathological behaviors that would be used by criminal profilers to include him in a pool of suspects . He was eventually exonerated when his conviction was overturned after 45 years .

HTMS Naresuan HTMS ( His Thai Majesty ' s Ship ) " Naresuan " ( FFG 421 ) , ( Thai : นเรศวร ) hull number 621 , commissioned in 1995 , is a modified version of the Chinese - made Type 053 frigate , corporate designed between Royal Thai Navy and China but built by the China State Shipbuilding Corporation in Shanghai . Her sister ship , HTMS " Taksin " was delivered in November 1995 . The ships came at 2 billion baht each , much less than the 8 billion baht price tag for Western - built frigates . When Thailand ordered four new 053 frigates in 1990 , China built them to the ( then ) latest 053H2 ( Jianghu III ) standard . Two were modified with helicopter decks in the back . Although the price was excellent ( 2 billion baht each , compared to 8 billion baht for western ships ) , the Thai Navy complained of quality issues . The interior wiring was exposed and had to be re - wired . The ship ' s battle damage control system was very limited , with poor fire - suppression system and water - tight locks . It ' s said that if the ship ' s hull was breached , rapid flooding would lead to loss of ship . The Thai Navy had to spent considerable time and effort to correct some of these issues . The harsh criticisms lead to many improvements in China ' s shipbuilding industry . By the mid - 1990s , the Thai Navy was confident enough to order two enlarged 053 hulls ( F25T ) , later named HTMS Naresuan and HTMS Taksin , to be fitted with western engines and weapon systems . Upgrade . On 3 June 2011 , Saab announced that it was awarded a contract for the upgrading of the two Naresuan class frigates . The scope of the upgrade will include Saab ' s 9LV MK4 combat management system , Sea Giraffe AMB , CEROS 200 fire control radar , EOS 500 electro - optics system and data link systems for communications with the newly acquired Royal Thai Air Force Erieye surveillance aircraft . On 8 August 2012 , DSCA announced Thailand ' s intention to acquire the Evolved Sea Sparrow missile and associated equipment to upgrade the frigates and a Letter of Offer and Acceptance was signed with Raytheon on 14 January 2013 .
Siege of Hasedō The was one of a series of battles fought in the far north of Japan ' s main island of Honshū ( the Tōhoku region ) contemporaneous with the famous and decisive campaigns between Tokugawa Ieyasu and Ishida Mitsunari further south . Over the course of the year 1600 , Naoe Kanetsugu , a general loyal to Ishida Mitsunari , would lead a campaign in Tōhoku , which included the siege of Hasedō castle , near Yamagata , which was his ultimate goal . Hasedō was held by Shimura Takaharu , and backed by a Tokugawa - loyal army of the Date clan . Three thousand of Naoe ' s men moved towards Yamagata from the north while Naoe began his siege on Hasedō . Having received reinforcements of 100 horsemen and 200 arquebus iers , he laid siege to Hasedō for fourteen days before an army under Rusu Masakage arrived to relieve the castle . Upon the arrival of the Date forces , Naoe stepped up his siege , and the vanguard under Kasuga Mototada actually reached the walls of the castle before they retreated before arquebus fire . The garrison then sallied forth and attacked the retreating vanguard in the rear , leading to the near - complete retreat of Naoe ' s forces . A small besieging force remained , and fighting continued , in which Naoe ' s general Kamiizumi Yasutsuna was killed . Shortly afterwards , however , news arrived of Tokugawa Ieyasu ' s victory at Sekigahara , and so Naoe called a full withdrawal of all his forces back to Yonezawa , putting an end to his campaigns in the north .

Drumhead court - martial A drumhead court - martial is a court - martial held in the field to hear urgent charges of offences committed in action . The term is said to originate from the use of a drumhead as an improvised writing table , as an altar for religious services , or a traditional gathering point for a regiment for orders or decisions . The earliest recorded usage is in an English memoir of the Peninsular War ( 1807 ) . The term sometimes has connotations of summary justice , with an implied lack of judicial impartiality , as noted in the transcripts of the trial at Nuremberg of Josef Bühler . According to Sir Arthur Wynne Morgan Bryant , such courts - martial have ordered lashings or hangings to punish soldiers ( and their officers ) who were cowardly , disobedient – or , conversely , acted rashly ; and especially as a discouragement to drunkenness .
