As squad leader of a light machinegun section supporting the advance of the 1st and 3d Platoons , he braved direct rifle , machinegun , 20mm . , and mortar fire , some of which repeatedly missed him only by inches , and rushed forward over 350 yards of open , rolling fields to reach a position from which he could fire on the enemy troops . From this vantage point he killed the crews of a 20mm . gun and a machinegun , drove several enemy riflemen from their positions , and so successfully shielded the 1st Platoon , that it had time to reorganize and remove its wounded to safety . Observing that the 3d Platoon to his right was being met by very heavy 40mm and machine gun fire , he ran 150 yards with his gun to the leading elements of that unit , where he killed the crew of the 40mm . gun . As spearhead of the 3d Platoon ' s attack , he advanced , firing his gun held at hip height , disregarding the bullets that whipped past him , until the assault had carried 175 yards to the objective . In this charge he and the riflemen he led killed or wounded many of the fanatical enemy and put 2 machineguns out of action . Pfc . Hastings , by his intrepidity , outstanding leadership , and unrelenting determination to wipe out the formidable German opposition , cleared the path for his company ' s advance into Drabenderhöhe . He was killed 4 days later while again supporting the 3d Platoon . Posthumous honors . The United States Army transport was named in his honor .

Soviet M - class submarine The M " - class submarines , also Malyutka " - class ( ; " baby " or " little one " ) , were a class of small , single - , or 1½ - hulled submarines built in the Soviet Union and used during World War II . The submarines were built in sections so they could easily be transported by rail . The production was centered in the Gorky Shipyard on the Volga River , after which the sections were railed to Leningrad for assembly and fitting out . This was the first use of welding on Soviet submarines . History . 1930s to 40s . Submarines of this class were in four series : VI , VI - bis , XII , XV . Constructions of VI and VI - bis series were almost equal . Series XII in fact was re - developed project with equal tactical characteristics . First series were powered by one diesel engine and one electric motor . Series XV had developed separately too and had improved characteristics , such as main ballast in light hull and two shafts . These vessels were mainly used in the Black Sea Fleet and the Baltic Fleet . Although being quite a good design , only limited results were obtained and losses were heavy with 33 submarines sunk between 1941 and 1945 . By 1945 , some 111 " M " - class submarines had been completed , with another 30 " XV " - series being completed between 1945 and 1947 . Cold war . Two submarines of the early series of this class , along with two Soviet S class submarine , ( S - 52 and S - 53 ) and two Shchuka class submarine s ( under lease , S - 121 and S - 123 ) were handed to People ' s Liberation Army Navy in June , 1954 , thus becoming the foundation of the submarine force of the People ' s Republic of China . Both the M and S class submarines were sold to China , and subsequently , two more M - XV series of this class submarines , M - 278 and M - 279 were also sold to China a few years later . Those purchased by China received Chinese names , and the two leased S class submarine did not . The four M class submarines bought by China were named as National Defense # 21 , 22 , 23 ( ex M - 278 ) and 24 ( ex M - 279 ) respectively . Modern times . An M - class submarine was discovered near Tallinn in May 2012 . The submarine is located in the Tallinn Bay between the islands of Aegna and Naissaar , at an approximate depth of 65 to 66 meters . It ' s believed to be the M - 216 , which was intentionally sunk in the area in 1962 for training purposes . Divers have confirmed that many components , including the periscope , are missing . It ' s also believed that the training exercise may have been ordered as a result of several deadly submarine accidents in the 1950s . One such accident happened near Paldiski , where the entire crew died as a failure of the rescue operation . Versions . Both series VI and VI - bis were constructed by A . N . Asafov . Serie XII was made by P . I . Serdyuk , serie XV was created by F . F . Polushkin .
D - class destroyer ( 1913 ) The D class as they were known from 1913 was a fairly homogeneous group of torpedo boat destroyer s ( TBDs ) built for the Royal Navy in the mid - 1890s . They were all constructed to the individual designs of their builder , John I . Thornycroft & Company of Chiswick , to meet Admiralty specifications . The uniting feature of the class was a top speed of and they all had two funnels . In 1913 the nine surviving " 30 knotter " vessels with two funnels ( all ten had been built by Thornycroft , but " Ariel " was lost before their renaming as " D " class ) were retrospectively classified by the Admiralty as the " D " class to provide some system to the naming of HM destroyers . In the same way those with three funnels were classified as the " C " class and those with four funnels as the " B " class . All these vessels had a distinctive " turtleback " forecastle that was intended to clear water from the bow , but actually tended to dig the bow in to anything of a sea , resulting in a very wet conning position . They were better constructed than their A - class forebears ( the " 26 knotter " and " 27 knotter " groups ) , but still were poor seaboats unable to reach top speed in anything but perfect conditions . They generally displaced 355 to 370 tons and had a length of . All were powered by triple expansion steam engines for and had coal - fired water - tube boilers , except for the final vessel ( " Stag " ) in which the engine power was slightly raised to . Armament was one QF 12 pounder on a bandstand on the forecastle , five QF 6 pounder ( two sided abreast the conning tower , two sided between the funnels and one on the quarterdeck ) and 2 single tubes for 18 - inch ( 450 - mm ) torpedoes . Due to the successful development of their previous 26 and 27 knot torpedo boat destroyers , John I Thornycroft & Company developed their two funnel design for the 1894 / 95 – 1897 / 98 building programs . The ships were considered an incremental improvement to the previous 27 - knot design of the 1893 / 94 program . This design would be used for all follow - on turtleback ships under the 30 - knot specification . The 30 knot torpedo boat destroyers built by Thornycroft were referred to as two funnel – 30 knot ships and were not assigned a class name at the time . They featured a large fore - bridge , mast halfway between bridge and fore funnel , turtleback cut - away bow , large round stern , both torpedo tubes on centerline aft of second funnel and two funnels . They had a Thornycroft stern with the rudder not visible . They had dual rudders which made them very responsive to the helm . Ships . All ten of the " D " class were built by Thornycroft at Chiswick , in four batches .
Coast Guard Unit Commendation The Coast Guard Unit Commendation is the highest peacetime unit award that may be awarded to military commands of the United States Coast Guard . The decoration was first created in 1963 and is presented to members of any Coast Guard unit that distinguishes itself by valorous or extremely meritorious service , not involving combat , but in support of Coast Guard operations . It may also be awarded to units and personnel of the other U . S . armed forces , typically when in support of operations where the Coast Guard is the lead service . One example was the award of the commendation with Operational Distinguishing Device to rescue squadrons of the U . S . Air Force and maritime patrol squadrons and helicopter squadrons of the U . S . Navy , when said units assisted the Coast Guard during search and recovery operations following the January 1986 loss of the NASA Space Shuttle Challenger . Additional awards of the Coast Guard Unit Commendation are denoted by award stars . The Operational Distinguishing Device , a 5 / 16 inch silver letter " O " centered on the unit of the uniform ribbon , is also authorized for units which are presented the decoration for field operations and conditions . Prior to 2003 , the Coast Guard Unit Commendation was subordinate to the Secretary of Transportation Outstanding Unit Award . With the transfer of the Coast Guard to the Department of Homeland Security , the Secretary of Transportation Outstanding Unit Award became obsolete , making the Coast Guard Unit Commendation the senior peacetime award , but junior to the Joint Meritorious Unit Award and the Presidential Unit Citation . Admiral Thad W . Allen , Commandant , awarded the Coast Guard Unit Commendation to the Coast Guard Auxiliary on June 19 , 2009 , for " performance . . . nothing short of stellar " for members who served between June 24 , 1999 , and June 23 , 2009 .

HMS Engadine ( 1941 ) HMS " Engadine " was a 9 , 909 ton cargo ship laid down at the Greenock Dockyard Company , Greenock , Scotland on 16 March 1940 , launched on 26 May 1941 and completed on 17 November 1941 . She was originally built for the Clan Line , and named " Clan Buchanan " ( the previous " Clan Buchanan " having been sunk by the German raider on 28 April 1941 ) . However she was taken over by the British Royal Navy before completion and renamed in honour of the first for use as a seaplane depot ship . She was loaned to the US Navy from November 1942 until July 1943 . At the end of the war , she was sold back to the Clan Line in 1946 and reverted to her original name . The ship was eventually scrapped at Cartagena , Spain in November 1962 .
USS Adroit ( SP - 248 ) USS " Adroit " ( SP - 248 ) was a steam yacht brought into the United States Navy , but never commissioned . " Adroit " was built as Winchester at City Island , New York in 1907 by Robert Jacobs . The first of a series of fast yachts of that name , her owner replaced her with a larger vessel after several years . She was sold and renamed " Adroit " in about 1916 . She was acquired by the Navy in April 1917 from Mr . F . H . McAdoo of New York City . After she had begun fitting out under the direction of Lt . H . B . Peschau , NNV , " Adroit " was found to be highly unseaworthy and of extremely short cruising range . Consequently , she was never commissioned and was returned to her owner on 30 April 1918 . Presumably , her name — which had appeared on the Navy list — was stricken from that list soon thereafter . Her subsequent career as a pleasure craft extended for more than another two decades . She was renamed " Aera " in 1928 and remained listed in yachting registers until the early 1940s .

Charles Brown ( Royal Navy officer ) Charles Brown ( c . 1678 - 23 March 1753 ) was an officer of the Royal Navy . He saw service during the Nine Years ' War , and the Wars of the Spanish Succession , Quadruple Alliance and Austrian Succession . Brown entered the navy in about 1695 , through the patronage of Sir George Byng , afterwards Lord Torrington . He was appointed captain of in 1709 . He commanded in 1717 , and in 1726 in the cruises up the Baltic Sea . In 1727 , during the siege of Gibraltar by the Spaniards , he commanded , and in 1731 in the Mediterranean . In 1738 he was appointed to command , and was senior officer at this station until the arrival of Admiral Edward Vernon in the following year . His opportunity arrived in 1739 , when , during the War of Jenkins ' Ear , he served under Vernon in the attack on Portobello , in the isthmus of Darien . He led the squadron into Boca Chica , placing his vessel , the " Hampton Court " , alongside the strongest part of the fortifications . When the fortress surrendered , the Spanish governor presented his sword in token of submission . Brown very properly declined to receive it , saying he was but ' second in command , ' and took the governor in his boat to Admiral Vernon . But the Spaniard was obstinate , declaring that but for the insupportable fire of the commodore he never would have yielded . Thereupon Vernon , very handsomely turning to Brown , presented to him the sword , which is still in the possession of his descendants . In 1741 Brown was appointed to the office of commissioner of the navy at Chatham , a situation which he held with unblemished reputation until his death , on 23 March 1753 . His daughter , Lucy , became the wife of Admiral William Parry , commander - in - chief of the Leeward Islands ; and her daughter and namesake married Captain William Locker , under whom Lord Nelson served in his early days , and who subsequently became lieutenant - governor of Greenwich Hospital . There was a portrait of Brown in the Painted Hall at Greenwich , which subsequently passed in the hands of the successor institution , the National Maritime Museum .
Drivenik Castle Drivenik Castle ( ) is a castle in the hinterland of Crikvenica and Novi Vinodolski , in the northern part of the Adriatic coast , western Croatia . The castle of Drivenik is first mentioned in 1228 as one of the co - signers of the Vinodol Code . It is located near the village of Drivenik in the Vinodol region , on a high point named " Glavica " ( 181 m above sea level ) . The castle sits in front of the mountain range called ‘ Križišće ’ opposite Tribaljsko polje ( Tribalj field ) . From the 13th century the castle was the seat of the district administration , and upon the arrival of the Frankopans , their deputy Dragoljub resided there in 1288 . In the 16th century ( 1571 based on an inscription on its walls ) the castle was expanded in size and in the style of Renaissance fortresses it received round towers on its corners . Then in 1577 , the castle was ruled by the noble family Zrinski . The construction of the road in 1746 linked Drivenik to Novi Vinodolski and Bakar . This allowed the inhabitants to move from the hilltop down into the valley where present day Drivenik developed along the roadway . Ultimately the castle was abandoned as an active settlement , only the church of Sveti Dujam ( St . Domnius ) and its cemetery remained as active properties . Near the castle is the chapel of St . Stephen , built probably at the end of the 16th century with its tower containing three bells . The church has three building phases : Romanesque , Gothic and Baroque . The church originally contained a late Gothic period ' Pieta ' sculpture titled the " Mourning of Christ " and a Baroque period wood carved " Golden Altar " . Today both are in the Museum of Art and Crafts in Zagreb . The chapel of St . Martin is situated at the cemetery . It has Baroque frescoes dating from the 18th century . On its wall is a fresco " Taken down from the Cross " . There is the Way of the Cross with four shrines near the cemetery and at its end Calvary is marked with three high crosses dating from 1768 . The cemetery also contains a monument to fallen fighters from World War II . The parish church of Sveti Dujam ( St . Domnius ) contains three naves and a bell - tower in the front . Originally it was built with one nave , without the open bell - tower . Sveti Dujam ’ s bell tower was built in 1806 and the entrance beneath the bell tower was constructed in 1846 . The sanctuary was decorated by Anton Cej in 1894 when the main marble altar was constructed . The church floor contains burial vaults with the remains of a prominent local family Klarić ( Gaspar 1653 and Marko 1753 ) . The church underwent partial restoration in 1968 . In the nearby town of Drivenik , a monument has been erected to the famous Croatian miniaturist J . J . Klović ( Julio Clovio ) .

She was purchased by the Navy at Lake Champlain , converted to schooner rigging , and relaunched on 12 May 1814 . Service history . " Ticonderoga " rendered gallant service with Captain Thomas Macdonough ' s squadron during the Battle of Plattsburgh on 11 September 1814 . Commanded by Lt . Stephen Cassin , " Ticonderoga " compelled sloop HMS " Finch " ( formerly ) to surrender after riddling her with shot and forcing her aground . She also assisted in the capture of sloop HMS " Chubb " ( formerly ) , and repelled several boarding attempts by British gunboats . Midshipman Hiram Paulding was on board " Ticonderoga " during the battle and used his pistol to discharge a cannon when firing matches proved defective . During the two - and - one - half - hour engagement , six members of " Ticonderoga " s crew were killed , and six others were wounded . After the war , " Ticonderoga " was laid up at Whitehall , New York . A decade later , she was pronounced unworthy of repair and sold at public sale on 19 July 1825 .
