Early warning radar An early warning radar is any radar system used primarily for the long - range detection of its targets , i . e . , allowing defences to be alerted as " early " as possible before the intruder reaches its target , giving the defences the maximum time in which to operate . This contrasts it with systems used primarily for tracking or gun laying , which tend to be shorter range but offer much higher accuracy . History . The first early warning radars were the British Chain Home , the US CXAM ( Navy ) and SCR - 270 ( Army ) , and the German Freya . By modern standards these were quite short range , typically about 100 to 150 miles . This " short " distance is a side effect of radio propagation at the long wavelengths being used at the time , which were generally limited to line - of - sight . Although techniques for long - range propagation were known and widely used for shortwave radio , the ability to process the complex return signal was simply not possible at the time . Cold War . Starting in the 1950s , a number of over the horizon radar s were developed that greatly extended detection ranges , generally by bouncing the signal off the ionosphere . Perhaps the most capable of these systems was the DEW Line , although other examples have since been built with even better performance . An alternate early warning design was the McGill Fence , which provided " line breaking " indication across the middle of Canada , with no provision to identify the target ' s exact location or direction of travel . Modern day . Today the early warning role has been supplanted to a large degree by airborne early warning platforms . By placing the radar on an aircraft , the line - of - sight to the horizon is greatly extended . This allows the radar to use high - frequency signals , offering high resolution , while still offering long range . A major exception to this rule are radars intended to warn of ballistic missile attacks , like BMEWS , as the high altitude exo - atmospheric trajectory of these weapons allows them to be seen at great ranges even from ground - based radars .
SOG Knife The SOG knife was designed for , and issued to , covert Studies and Observations Group personnel during the Vietnam War . It was unmarked and supposedly untraceable to country of origin or manufacture in order to maintain plausible deniability of covert operators in the event of their death or capture . Design . The SOG Knife was designed by Benjamin Baker , the Deputy Chief of the U . S . Counterinsurgency Support Office ( CISO ) . A chrome - moly steel known as SKS - 3 was chosen for the blade and hardened to a Rockwell hardness of 55 - 57 . The blade pattern featured a convex false edge on the clip point of a Bowie knife . The stacked leather handle was inspired by a Marbles Gladstone Skinning Knife made in the 1920s owned by Baker , into which finger grooves were molded . The blade was typically parkerized or blackened to reduce glare . This was done so by applying a dark gun - blue finish ( similar to those used on guns ) on this carbon steel knife . The knife was carried in a leather sheath which contained a sharpening steel or whetstone . The first contract was awarded to Japanese manufacturer Yogi Shokai for 1 , 300 seven - inch blades designated " Knife , indigenous , RECON , 7 " , w / scabbard & whetstone " at $ 9 . 85 each . In 1966 , SOG ordered 1 , 200 sterile knives with six - inch blades and black sheaths and in March of the following year an additional lot of 3 , 700 was ordered . This second lot was serial numbered for accountability purposes and was designated " Knife , indigenous , hunting , 6 " , w / black sheath and whetstone " . In the 1980s a company named SOG Specialty Knives manufactured a knife very similar to the original SOG knife in Seki City , Japan and marked it with the US Army Special Forces Crest . , and named it the " S1 Bowie " . The other Vietnam replica knife is known as the " Recon Bowie " by SOG and both knives are manufactured to the same specifications and in the same factory as the original Vietnam - era knives . The last replica knife is the " SCUBA / Demo " . SOG made a version with a stainless steel blade and micarta in commemoration of the U . S . Navy SEALs . , known as the " SOG Trident " . Replicas of the SOG knife have been made by Al Mar Knives , Ek Knives , and Strider Knives . None of these knives , however , are currently used by any branch of the US Military in an official capacity . Original models are valuable collector ' s items among both knife collectors and militaria collectors .

Florida National Cemetery Florida National Cemetery is a United States National Cemetery located near the city of Bushnell in Sumter County , Florida . It encompasses , and began interments in 1988 . History . Florida National Cemetery is located in the Withlacoochee State Forest , approximately north of Tampa . The forest was acquired by the federal government from private landowners between 1936 and 1939 under the provisions of the U . S . Land Resettlement Administration . The United States Forest Service managed the property until a lease - purchase agreement transferred it to the Florida Board of Forestry in 1958 . Currently , Withlacoochee State Forest is the second - largest state forest in Florida , divided into eight distinct tracts of land . In 1842 , Congress encouraged settlement here by establishing the Armed Occupation Act . The law granted a patent for to any man who kept a gun and ammunition , built a house , cultivated of the land and remained there for at least five years . Settlers moved in to take advantage of the generous offer . The area contained abundant timber and suitable farmland , appealing attributes to frontiersmen . In 1845 Florida was granted statehood . During the Civil War , a sugar mill on the Homosassa River supplied sugar to the Confederacy . A robust citrus - growing industry developed in the eastern part of the area and became a focus of intense economic expansion soon after the war . In 1980 , the Department of Veterans Affairs ( VA ) announced that it would establish a new national cemetery in Florida , its fourth . Two major locations for the cemetery were studied : property near the Cross Florida Barge Canal and the Withlacoochee State Forest . The Withlacoochee site , though more environmentally sensitive , was supported by government officials . In February 1983 , the state transferred land to the VA for the development of a Florida National Cemetery . The first interment was in 1988 . A columbarium was opened in November , 2001 for cremated remains . In the twenty years the cemetery has been in operation , there have been over 97 , 000 interments . Notable monuments . A carillon was constructed by the World War II AMVETS organization in an open area adjacent to the first administration building . It was dedicated on October 9 , 1993 . The cemetery contains a " Memorial Pathway " that in 2003 featured 47 plaques , statues , monuments , etc . , honoring America ’ s soldiers from 20th - century conflicts .
Marcus Antonius Primus Marcus Antonius Primus ( 30 / 35 – after 81 ) was a general of the Roman Empire . Primus was born at Tolosa ( Toulouse ) in Gaul . During the reign of Nero , he was resident in Rome and a member of the Senate , from which he was expelled for conspiring to forge a will with Valerius Fabianus , and was banished from the city . He was subsequently reinstated by Galba , and placed in command of the Legio VII Galbiana in Pannonia . During the civil war , Primus was one of Vespasian ' s strongest supporters . Advancing into Italy , he gained a decisive victory over the Vitellians at Bedriacum in October 69 , and on the same day stormed and set fire to Cremona . He then crossed the Apennines , and made his way to Rome , into which he forced an entrance after considerable opposition . Vitellius was seized and put to death . For a few days , Primus was virtually ruler of Rome , and the Senate bestowed upon him the rank and insignia of a consul , but on the arrival of Licinius Mucianus , he left Rome . Primus must have been alive during the reign of Domitian , since four epigrams of Martial are addressed to him . Tacitus describes him as brave in action , ready of speech , clever at bringing others into odium , powerful in times of civil war and rebellion , greedy , extravagant , in peace a bad citizen , in war an ally not to be despised .

In the spring and early summer of 1940 , the division was located near the Maginot Line at Saarbrücken . On June 15 , 1940 , the division launched its attack south of the city , breaking through the French line and continuing its advance across the Seille and Meurthe rivers , south to the region of the Moselle river . It consolidated between Nancy and Epinal and was ordered to stop on June 25 . Eastern Front . After the campaign in France , the division was stationed along the French coast until June 1941 , when it was reattached to Army Group North ( " Heeresgruppe Nord " ) in preparation for Operation Barbarossa ( the invasion of the Soviet Union ) . The division saw much action during its advance on Leningrad , and then in the subsequent defensive battles against the Soviet Winter offensive . The division fought and held its lines throughout 1942 ; in August , the 271st Infantry Regiment was given the honorable title of " " Feldherrnhalle " " , due to its outstanding performance during the campaigns in France and the Soviet Union . In the summer of 1943 , the division was pulled out of the line and sent to Poland to rest and refit . While there , the 271st Infantry Regiment " " Feldherrnhalle " " was removed from the division and became the nucleus of the new 60th Panzergrenadier Division " " Feldherrnhalle " " .

USS Ascutney USS " Ascutney " ( 1862 ) was a large steamer with powerful guns acquired by the Union Navy during the American Civil War . She was used by the Union Navy as a gunboat in support of the Union Navy blockade of Confederate waterways . Post - war she performed some steamship service for the Navy . Launched in 1863 in Massachusetts . " Ascutney " — a wooden - hulled , side - wheel gunboat ordered by the Navy in the autumn of 1862 — was launched on 4 April 1863 by G . W . Jackson at Newburyport , Massachusetts , on 4 April 1863 . Delivered to the New York Navy Yard in June 1863 , she was commissioned on 28 July 1864 , Lt . Comdr . William Mitchell in command . Ordered to search for the steamer " Electric Spark " . On 1 August 1864 , Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles ordered Mitchell to " . . . visit the fishing grounds on the eastern coast [ of the ] French Islands , in the Bay [ Gulf ] of St . Lawrence . . . " to seek the steamer " Electric Spark " , a prize of CSS " Florida " , thought to have been sent there . However , some now - unknown problem prevented " Ascutney " from undertaking this mission ; and , three days later , Welles instructed Mitchell to bring his ship to Washington , D . C . en route to duty with the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron . Assigned to the North Atlantic Blockade . The steamer arrived at Beaufort , North Carolina , on 21 August and , two days later , sailed for waters off Wilmington , North Carolina . Encounter with Confederate raider CSS " Tallahassee " . Assigned to the outer cordon of blockaders attempting to seal off that vital Confederate port , " Ascutney " was the first Union warship to encounter CSS " Tallahassee " when — at 4 : 30 a . m . on the morning of 25 August — a lookout sighted that Confederate raider which Comdr . John Taylor Wood , CSN , was bringing back to Wilmington , North Carolina , at the end of a highly destructive 19 - day cruise . Mitchell immediately gave chase , but the Southern ship ' s speed — 17 knots — enabled her to slip away with ease . To make matters worse , " Ascutney ' s " engine broke down , taking the gunboat out of the race . Decommissioned after engine failure . Following a survey , the gunboat was towed to the Washington Navy Yard where she was decommissioned on 22 September 1864 . Extensive repairs kept her in ordinary through the end of the Civil War . Recommissioned post - war for cargo service . Finally recommissioned on 19 October 1865 , " Ascutney " was stationed at the Washington Navy Yard and carried cargo and passengers in the Chesapeake Bay area and along the Atlantic Ocean coast between New York City and the Virginia Capes . Post - war decommissioning , sale . Decommissioned at Washington , D . C . on 1 August 1868 , she was sold on 28 October 1868 to John Roach . Since the ship ' s name did not appear on subsequent lists of merchant vessels , and since Roach was then embarking upon an extensive shipbuilding program , it is reasonable to conclude that she was scrapped for her materials
HMAS Bermagui HMAS " Bermagui " was a 402 - ton auxiliary minesweeper operated by the Royal Australian Navy ( RAN ) during World War II . " Bermagui " was laid down by the Ailsa Shipbuilding Company , Troon , Scotland in 1912 for the Illawarra & South Coast Steam Navigation Company .

She was fitted with one 12 - pounder 12cwt QF gun , one . 303 inch Vickers machine gun , and four Type D depth charge s . During the war , " Bermagui " was attached to the naval base HMAS " Maitland " in Newcastle , New South Wales and served as an auxiliary minesweeper , boom defence vessel , and minefield tender . In the early morning of 8 June 1942 , Japanese submarine " I - 21 " surfaced off Newcastle and shelled the city . A Royal Australian Navy report dated 15 June 1942 states that at 23 : 40 hours " Naval Auxiliary Patrol launches in line abreast swept the harbour dropping Mills bomb s . They were followed by the H . M . A . S . " Bermagui " . " The ship was paid off from service on 23 November 1945 and returned to her civilian owners on 22 July 1946 . She was sold in 1951 to Lumbar Operators Pty Ltd and in 1954 to Allen Taylor & Co . as a timber transport vessel . She was later sold in 1961 and converted into a gravel barge and used on the Brisbane River until 1979 . She was scuttled off Tangalooma , Queensland .
