USS Tucson ( SSN - 770 ) USS " Tucson " ( SSN - 770 ) , a " Los Angeles " - class submarine , was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for Tucson , Arizona . The contract to build her was awarded to Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company in Newport News , Virginia on 10 June 1988 and her keel was laid down on 15 August 1991 . She was launched on 20 March 1994 sponsored by Mrs . Diane C . Kent . " Tucson " was supposed to be commissioned on 18 August 1995 , however , Hurricane Felix threatened the Virginia coast , and the U . S . Navy decided to sortie the fleet , to prevent damage to ships in port if the hurricane made landfall . " Tucson " was the last ship to leave port , in case the prediction for landfall changed . As it turned out , the hurricane never did make landfall , but " Tucson " was at sea on 18 August . Upon returning to port , the commissioning ceremony was quickly rescheduled for 9 September 1995 . At the new commissioning ceremony , the commanding officer , Commander Duane M . Baker , declared that for the next two hours , it was officially 18 August . In June 1996 , " Tucson " was struck by the Military Sealift Command vehicle cargo ship USNS " Gilliland " ( T - AKR - 298 ) while moored in port at Newport News . A sudden windstorm caused " Gilliland " to break free from her mooring and cross the harbor , colliding with " Tucson " and a destroyer moored behind her . While the destroyer suffered the most damage . " Tucson " suffered minor damage to her AN / BRA - 34 antenna . From September 1996 to October 1996 , " Tucson " changed her home port . " Tucson " left Norfolk , Virginia , passed through the Panama Canal and stopped in San Diego , California for five days . VIPs from Tucson , Arizona , were allowed to ride on three separate short cruises , and then busloads of tourists from the city of Tucson came for tours of the submarine while in port . Following this port visit , " Tucson " continued on to arrive in Pearl Harbor , Hawaii . " Tucson " left for her first Western Pacific deployment ( maiden deployment ) in February 1998 . For historical context , note that prior to departure , tensions between the United Nations and Iraq had escalated drastically . In the 30 days leading up to departure , the government of Iraq had blocked access to the United Nations Special Commission ( UNSCOM ) and had withdrawn cooperation with the UNSCOM monitoring teams . The ship traveled as far west as the Persian Gulf before returning to Pearl Harbor in August 1998 .

Battle of Black Mingo The Battle of Black Mingo was a skirmish during the American Revolution . It took place in September 1780 in the vicinity of Dollard ' s Tavern near Black Mingo Creek not far from Willtown , South Carolina . General Francis Marion attacked and scattered a contingent of Loyalist troops that had been left to secure the region by Colonel Banastre Tarleton after his destructive march through the area . The Loyalists , under Colonel John Coming Ball , were driven into the nearby swamp after suffering significant casualties . Background . A company of militia was placed under the command of Brigadier General Francis Marion in the wake of the Battle of Ramsour ' s Mill . Marion then engaged in a series of guerrilla actions to harry elements of the British force and its Loyalist supporters . Following their victory at Camden the British sent out contingents to secure the countryside and capture prominent Revolutionary leaders like Marion . These activities reduced company morale , and the hunt for Marion caused men to leave his company , until he only had about 60 left and was forced to retreat into hiding in the swamps of the border between North and South Carolina . The British then traveled across South Carolina , plundering and destroying Revolutionary properties . This prompted Marion to move into South Carolina , where Revolutionaries angered by the British action signed up in large numbers . He was alerted to the presence of a large number of Loyalists near Black Mingo Creek , then away . While the reports indicated that the Loyalist numbers were larger than his own , the enthusiasm of his men prompted him to agree to an attack . Battle . While Marion had wanted to surprise the Loyalists with an early morning attack , the surprise was spoiled when the lead horses in his column started crossing the wooden plank bridge across Black Mingo Creek . Alarm shots were heard in the Loyalist camp , and Marion ' s company rushed to engage them . While the surprise was not complete , the Loyalists were sufficiently disorganized that the larger force was routed and forced to retreat into the swamp . Aftermath . Word of Marion ' s success spread , and he continued to recruit well after the battle . He also learned a lesson : he reportedly never again crossed a bridge intending surprise without first laying blankets down on it .

Peranius of Iberia Peranius was a Georgian prince from Iberia and a military commander in Roman ( Byzantine ) service . According to Procopius , he was the eldest son of the Iberian king Gurgenes . Gurgenes can be identified with Vakhtang I Gorgasali of the Georgian sources ; and Peranius might have been his brother rather than a son as suggested by Procopius . He was the father of Pacurius and uncle of Phazas , two other Iberian generals of the Roman army . Peranius and his family fled the Sassanid oppression of Iberia into Lazica in the 520s . They placed themselves under Roman protection and left for Constantinople where Peranius joined the Byzantine imperial army . Later in the 530s , he served under Belisarius in Italy and was in Rome during the siege by the Goths ( 537 – 538 ) . During the siege , he defended the Porta Praenestina and led a sally from the Porta Salaria . In mid - 538 , he laid a siege to Urbs Vetus ( Orvieto ) which fell in early 539 . Early in the 540s , Peranius was transferred to the eastern frontier where he fought the Sassanid Persian armies . He raided Taraunitis in 543 and was one of the Roman commanders defending Edessa in 544 . The Persian shah , Khosrau I ( r . 531 – 579 ) , demanded the surrender of Peranius on the grounds that Peranius was his hereditary slave . When a Sassanid contingent under Azarethes threatened to break into the city through one of the gates , Peranius led reinforcements of soldiers and citizens to the spot and averted the danger . Soon after the end of the siege of Edessa , Peranius died of severe injuries sustained in a fall from his horse while hunting .
Ultra Fast Attack Craft The Ultra Fast Attack Craft , commonly known as the Colombo Class , is an ultra high - speed class of patrol boat s meant for a variety of naval missions from typical off - shore coastal patrol mission profiles to high - speed , high - maneuver littoral warfare . Built by Colombo Dockyard Limited for the Sri Lanka Navy ( SLN ) it has become the workhorse of the SLN against Sea tiger boats of the LTTE . The boats of this class are meant for ; Series I . The boats of the Series I are of 24m long with a mono hull with a vibration - free deck , powered by twin MTU main engines developing 1 , 630 kW each , driving Kamewa water jets . This enables the boat to reach speeds of 45 knots and have an endurance of 500 nm . It has a crew of 10 . Series II . Series II the successor to the earlier type . Main upgrades include the increase of accommodation for a crew of 12 and major improvements the superstructure . Series III . The Series III is the recent addition to the class and has incorporated current combat requirements and experience in the battlefield archived by the Sri Lanka Navy . This new type can achieve speeds in excess of 53 knots , the fastest of its class in the region while housing to the 15 persons . Series III was designed by the Colombo Dockyard to the Israeli Shaldag Mk II design . First launch of Series III held on 27 July 1996 and it went beyond the abilities of Shaldag Mk II design by exceeding it from the speed , range and payload . The propulsion system consists of two Diesel MTU 12V 396 TE94 ( 1 , 630 kW each ) engines driving two articulated surface drives , which were initially designed for competitive speedboats . Arneson Surface Drive - 16 articulating propulsion systems drives provide the vessel with thrust vectoring control similar to the Super Dvora Mk III and Shaldag Mk II . Their thrust - vectoring propulsion system allows Series III to function in shallow waters at drafts of 1 . 2 meters facilitating special operations forces delivery on enemy shores and catastrophe relief missions . Coastal surveillance vessel . The two Coastal surveillance vessels built for the Maldivian Coast Guard are very similar to the Series III Ultra Fast Attack Craft . It has more range but at a lower speed of 40 Knots and no armament . Armament . Currently all Colombo class boats have been designed to allow for the installation of Typhoon 25 - 30mm stabilized cannon which can be slaved to state - of the art mast - mounted , day and night all weather long range electro - optic systems . In addition to its main armament they carry additional weapon systems such as Oerlikon 20 mm cannon s , automatic grenade launcher s , PKM general purpose machine gun s , including 12 . 7 mm and 7 . 62 mm machine guns . Series III gun boats comes with Elop MSIS optronic director and Typhoon GFCS as its own weapons control system .

Navy Enlisted Classification The Navy Enlisted Classification ( NEC ) system supplements the rating designators for enlisted members of the United States Navy . A naval rating and NEC designator are similar to the Military Occupational Specialty ( MOS ) designators used in the U . S . Army and U . S . Marine Corps and the Air Force Specialty Code ( AFSC ) used in the U . S . Air Force . The U . S . Navy has several ratings or job specialties for its enlisted members . An enlisted member is known by the enlisted rating , for example , a Machinist ' s Mate ( or MM ) , and / or by the enlisted rate , for example Petty Officer First Class ( or PO1 ) . Often Navy enlisted members are addressed by a combination of rating and rate . In this example , this machinist ' s mate petty officer first class may be addressed as Machinist ' s Mate 1st Class ( or MM1 ) . However , the NEC designator is a four - digit code that identifies skills and abilities beyond the standard ( or outward ) rating designator . According to the Military Personnel Manual ( MILSPERMAN ) 1221 - 010 , the NEC designator facilitates personnel planning , procurement , and selection for training ; development of training requirements ; promotion , distribution , assignment and the orderly call to active duty of inactive duty personnel in times of national emergency or mobilization . For example , a person holding the MM - 3385 is a nuclear - trained machinist ' s mate for surface ships , and a person with an MM - 3355 is a nuclear - trained machinist ' s mate for submarines . In the U . S . Navy ' s officer ranks , the naval officer designator serves a similar purpose .
