Ground Zero ( campaign ) Ground Zero was a United States advocacy and education organization devoted to nuclear weapons . Founded by former White House National Security Council official Roger Molander , it did not explicitly support the nuclear freeze , but worked to raise awareness of the nuclear threat during the period of the freeze campaign in the early 1980s . On March 12 , 1982 , Molander published a prominent piece in the Washington Post discussing the nuclear threat , and from April 18 to April 25 , 1982 the organization sponsored a Ground Zero Week of nationwide events to demonstrate that American cities had no defenses in the event of nuclear war . These events were sponsored by the National Education Association , United Auto Workers , the National Council of Churches , and an array of other organizations . Some have suggested that these events helped build the momentum for the large freeze demonstration in New York City that took place on June 12 , 1982 .

Lucius Decidius Saxa Lucius Decidius Saxa ( died 40 BC ) , sometimes mistaken as Decidus , was a Roman general in the 1st century BC . He was born in Spain , but perhaps of Italian origin . In 49 BC he fought as follower of Julius Caesar in Spain against an army of Pompey . In 44 BC he was tribune of the people and after the assassination of the dictator he went over to Mark Antony . At the beginning of 43 BC Antony was besieged in Mutina and was assisted by Decidius Saxa . In 42 BC , after the founding of the second Triumvirate , Saxa was , together with Gaius Norbanus Flaccus , appointed by Mark Antony to lead the advance force of eight legions into Thrace before the Battle of Philippi . Saxa later went on to be appointed governor of Syria by Antony ( 41 BC ) while Norbanus was elected consul in 38 BC , recognizing the great prestige of the victory over the liberatores . He was heavily defeated near Antioch , when Quintus Labienus led a Parthian intervention in Syria in 40 BC . He fled to Cilicia where he was captured and executed by the Parthians . His legions reportedly suffered heavy defeats and several of his aquilae were seized , being returned to Rome first after a brief Roman war against Parthia and negotiations by then Roman emperor Augustus in 20 BC . The eagle standards were returned together with those captured in 53 BC from Marcus Licinius Crassus , a great propaganda victory for Rome . A brother of Decidius Saxa was his Quaestor in Syria in 40 BC and fought with him against the Parthians , but his soldiers deserted to the enemy so that he had to surrender to Quintus Labienus .

The attackers were led by Ōno Harunaga , Hanawa Naoyuki , and Okabe Noritsuna . Asano ' s garrison realized that their attackers were far from support or reinforcements , and met them in battle at Kashii , a short distance from Wakayama . Okabe and Hanawa were killed in the battle , and Ōno was therefore forced to retreat back to Ōsaka .
Submarine chaser A submarine chaser is a small and fast naval vessel , specifically intended for anti - submarine warfare . Although similar vessels were designed and used by many nations , this designation was most famously used by ships built by the US . Many of the US World War I sub - chasers found their way to friendly powers by way of Lend - Lease in World War II . Submarine chaser variants . U . S . Navy submarine chasers were designed specifically to destroy German submarines in World War I , and Japanese and German submarines in World War II . The small patrol craft of the design first used in World War I carried the hull designator SC ( for Submarine Chaser ) . Their main weapon was the depth charge . They also carried machine gun s and anti - aircraft gun s . Larger sub chasers used the PC hull classification symbol ( for Patrol , Coastal ) . In early 1915 , the British Admiralty selected the US Elco company for the production of 50 Motor Launch es for anti - submarine work , British industry being at maximum capacity . This order was then increased by a further 500 . The whole order was completed by November 1916 , and the vessels entered Royal Navy service . The vessels were in length and capable of . They were armed with a 3 - pounder gun , towed paravane s and later , depth charge s . War service . The British sub chasers were operated around the coast in defence . However , they were uncomfortable , wet and not suited to British sea conditions . Although used during the First World War , they were sold off when the war ended . Submarine chasers were used mostly by the United States Coast Guard in World War II for destroying German U - boat s that were stationed off the coast of the United States that were trying to sink merchant convoys as they departed American ports . By the end of World War II , submarine chasers had sunk around 67 German U - boats . In the Pacific Theatre , submarine chasers were used for amphibious landings , courier and escort duty . A small number of British Fairmile B Motor Launches were transferred from Canada , and included the SC - 1466 class of sub - chasers . During Project Hula , the United States secretly transferred 32 U . S . Navy submarine chasers to the Soviet Union between 26 May and 2 September 1945 , and some of these saw action in the Soviet Navy during Soviet military operations against the Japanese between 9 August and 5 September 1945 . The transfer of 24 more was canceled when transfers halted on 5 September 1945 . Between 1954 and 1960 all 32 transferred submarine chasers were scrapped by the Soviet Union or destroyed off its coast by mutual agreement between the two countries . Post - war . They were mostly withdrawn after World War II and replaced with corvette s , frigate s , and destroyer s . A few are still in service with Third World navies . Survivors . The only remaining submarine chaser with intact World War II armament is the Royal Norwegian Navy ' s HNoMS " Hitra " , which is a touring museum today . In the Netherlands , there is still afloat " PC1610 " - a post World War II submarine chaser . The " Le Fougueux " was built in 1953 from US World War II drawings .
Andrzej Romocki Andrzej Romocki , codename Morro ( April 16 , 1923 - September 15 , 1944 , was a Polish Scoutmaster ( harcmistrz ) and captain of the Armia Krajowa , ( Polish Home Army , AK ) - Szare Szeregi . Romocki died in the Warsaw Uprising in 1944 . He was the commander of the Rudy Company and , after August 31 , 1944 , the whole of the Zośka Battalion . He was probably killed by accident by soldiers of the Ludowe Wojsko Polskie ( LWP , People ' s Army of Poland ) . Wola and Starówka . The Zośka Battalion fought in the most difficult areas of Warsaw throughout the uprising . At the beginning , Zośka was stationed in the Wola district , where the Germans first attacked the Vistula ( Wisła ) river to prevent Polish insurgents from merging with the Red Army , and where Zośka liberated Jews from the Gęsiówka internment camp . After August 11 , when Wola fell , Romocki and the entire Radosław regiment entered Warsaw Old Town ( Starówka / Stare Miasto ) , where they fought valiantly for the next three weeks . By the end of August , the Polish insurgents were in a very difficult position . They were trying to defend the Old Town without allowing the Germans to get to the river . Their major problem was that the Old Town had been surrounded for three weeks , resulting in a general lack of food , ammunition and weapons . The siege also meant that civilians were living in very crowded , unsanitary conditions . Given this situation , the Poles decided to attack the German position between the center of town , Śródmieście , and the Old Town , which lay to the north . The attack began on the night of August 30 . However , the strike was poorly prepared and not well coordinated . Zośka was the only Polish unit to penetrate to Śródmieście . Zośka and the other companies lost so many soldiers that Romocki , despite himself being injured in the attack , became commander of the whole battalion . Czerniaków . After the Old Town fell on September 2 , all the best units of the AK in Warsaw were transported to the Czerniaków district , the last river district in Warsaw not occupied by the Germans . After almost two weeks , the first units of the LWP landed there , in spite of Joseph Stalin ' s ban . It is possible that they killed Romocki - he was disguised in a German uniform , like most insurgents throughout their operations .
