USS America ( LHA - 6 ) PCU " America " ( LHA - 6 ) , the fourth American warship to be named for the United States of America , will be the first of the s for the U . S . Navy . She will be delivered in 2013 , replacing of the " Tarawa " class . Her mission is to act as the flagship of an expeditionary strike group or amphibious ready group , carrying part of a Marine expeditionary unit into battle and putting them ashore with helicopter s and V - 22 Osprey tilt - rotor aircraft , supported by F - 35B Lightning II aircraft and helicopter gunships . Her design is based on but with no well deck and smaller medical spaces to allow more room for aviation facilities . With a displacement of 45 , 000 tons she is as big as the aircraft carriers of other nations , and can fulfill similar missions when configured with 20 F - 35B strike fighters . Design . The design is based on the USS " Makin Island " ( LHD - 8 ) , itself an improved version of the " Wasp " - class amphibious assault ship . Approximately 45 % of the Flight 0 design is based on LHD - 8 , with the well deck removed to allow more room for aircraft and aviation fuel . Removal of the well dock for landing craft provides for an extended hangar deck with two significantly wider high bay areas , each fitted with an overhead crane for aircraft maintenance . These changes were required in order to operate the F - 35B and MV - 22 which are considerably larger than the aircraft they replace . The typical aircraft complement is expected to be 12 MV - 22B Osprey transports , 6 STOVL F - 35B Lightning II attack aircraft , 4 CH - 53K heavy transport helicopters , 7 AH - 1Z / UH - 1Y attack helicopters and 2 Navy MH - 60S " Knighthawks " for air - sea rescue . The exact makeup of the ship ' s aircraft complement will vary according to its mission . It can carry 20 F - 35B and 2 MH - 60S to serve as a small aircraft carrier as demonstrated by LHD operations in Operation Iraqi Freedom . Other enhancements include a reconfigurable command and control complex , an on - board hospital , additional aviation fuel capacity , and numerous aviation support spaces . History . The U . S . Navy awarded Northrop Grumman Corporation ' s Ingalls Shipyard Division a $ 2 . 4 billion fixed - price incentive contract for the detailed design and construction of LHA - 6 , primarily at the company ' s shipyard in Pascagoula , Mississippi . The production decision was made in January 2006 and construction of LHA - 6 began in December 2008 . Navy Secretary Donald C . Winter announced in June 2008 that the ship would be named " America " . The keel - laying ceremony was held on 17 July 2009 with delivery originally planned for August 2012 . The ship was launched on 4 June 2012 , and christened on 20 October . , " America " is scheduled for delivery in 2013 , with Naval Base San Diego as her home port . Builder ' s trials are planned for November 2013 .

Someone named Harel , presented as one of the accomplices , worked in liaison with the war commissioner Lefebvre , to bring the revelations to Louis Antoine Fauvelet de Bourrienne , Napoleon ' s secretary , indicating the plotters were Roman Cerrachi and Diana , Joseph Antoine Aréna , brother of the Corsican deputy who had declared against the Napoleon ; the painter and patriotic fanatic François Topino - Lebrun , and Dominique Demerville , former clerk of the Committee of public safety , closely associated with Bertrand Barère de Vieuzac . Harel was charged with drawing up a trap for the plotters , four armed men , laid out for the assassination of Napoleon , on the evening of October 10 , with the performance at opera of " Horaces " . The day of the attack , the men stationed by the police force , and on the account of which entreated had been misused , instead of stabbing Bonaparte , stopped Diana , Cerrachi and their two complices . all the others presumably retreated and were apprehended at their residence . For modern historians this was a manipulation by the police force , made possible by an agent provocateur , Harel , who had infiltrated the group . After Plot of the Rue Saint - Nicaise , the members of the " daggers conspiracy " , presented as a Jacobin plot , were judged in front of the criminal court of The Seine . Four of them were condemned to death 19 nivôse year IX ( January 9 , 1801 ) , at eleven o ' clock in the evening , after three days of debates and carried out January 30 after rejection of the appeal .

His colleague - elect Lucius Postumius A . f . Albinus being killed in an ambush in Gaul on his way home , Marcus Claudius Marcellus was elected consul in his stead , to the protests of patricians who claimed that two plebeians could not serve as consuls . Marcellus thereupon resigned and Quintus Fabius Maximus was elected consul to serve out the year . In that year , Fabius Maximus and the Senate decided to induct volunteer slaves into the Roman armies and to have them serve in separate legions to win their freedom . Gracchus was appointed commander of the slave troops , and he rapidly became known as an effective general of volunteer slave troops , winning their loyalty and trust for his clemency when some broke and ran from the field .

Sir William Congreve , 1st Baronet Lieutenant General Sir William Congreve , 1st Baronet ( 4 July 1742 - 30 April 1814 ) was a British military officer who improved artillery strength through gunpowder experiments . Personal life . William Congreve was born in Stafford on 4 July 1742 . He and his first wife , Rebecca Elmston , had four children together , two sons and two daughters . His eldest son William Congreve , invented the Congreve Rocket . His second wife , Julia - Elizabeth , died aged 78 in 1831 . Congreve was made a Baronet on 7 December 1812 . He died on 30 April1814 . He was succeeded in his posts by his son . Military career . By 1778 Congreve had obtained the rank of Captain and was appointed Superintendent of Military Machines . He worked out of Woolwich where he had the resources to train artillerymen . Sir William advocated government - run gunpowder mills , arguing that the privately owned concerns " have had such a prodigious profit allowed them " and yet the merchants left the job in the hands of " artful but ignorant Foremen , who probably made a very considerable profit by their Masters ' inattention " . As during the Seven Years ' War England had become increasingly concerned about the low standard of their gunpowder , the government was convinced to purchase an additional set of powder mills instead of farming out production to powder merchants . The Faversham Mill was purchased in 1759 , followed by Waltham Abbey in 1787 and Ballincollig in 1804 . Sir William became the deputy comptroller of the Woolwich Royal Laboratory in 1783 , with control over the Faversham and Waltham Abbey mills . In 1789 , then - Major Congreve was appointed as comptroller . Author Brenda Buchanan asserts , that during his time in these positions , he oversaw three major changes in the manufacturing of gunpowder , being " the substitution of edge runner mills for stamping mills . . . , the production of charcoal by low - temperature distillation in closed iron cylinders , and the employment of screw press es for compacting powder into cakes . " In this role he also implemented the manufacture of two different kinds of powder , one for muskets and one for canons . Congreve believed that the different powders led to an increase in ballistic force . However Steele and Doorland have suggested that the perceived increase in strength may have come from better quality construction materials . Congreve oversaw the establishment of two new facilities at Portsmouth and Plymouth which were dedicated to revitalizing damp or lumpy powder , as the procedure for fixing such issues was quicker than the process for making new powder . This resulted in an improved method of extracting saltpetre and consequently higher quality gunpowder .
