AK - 257 The AK - 257 is a 57mm naval gun , originally a land ZIF - 31 L / 70 57 mm ( Type 66 / 76 ) cannon . During the early 1950s , development began of naval versions of the 57 mm 70 calibre weapon which had entered service with the Soviet army in 1950 as the S - 60 . This was to be a supplementary weapon for larger warships and as the main gun armament for minesweepers and auxiliaries . The twin gun version , ZIF - 31 , appears to have entered service with the Project 264 Minesweepers ( T58 class ) and the Project 310 ( Don class ) submarine support ships in 1958 . In 1960 , two other versions of the mounting appeared ; a single gun ZIF - 71 for the modernised Skoryy class destroyer s and the quad ZIF - 75 for the Krupny / Kanin class destroyers . The ZIF designation is an industrial one and it is possible that the naval designations were AK - 157 ( ZIF - 71 ) , AK - 257 ( ZIF - 31 ) and AK - 457 ( ZIF - 75 ) . In smaller warships these mountings were sometimes associated with MR - 103 and in larger ones with the Yakhond ( Hawk Screech ) radar . The ZIF - 31 / 71 / 75 mountings may not have been very successful and an improved twin mounting appeared shortly afterwards as the AK - 725 . The twin 57 mm ZIF - 31 has also been manufactured in China as the Type 66 and there is a water - cooled derivative known as the Type 76 . The AK - 257 is currently employed on the Grisha class Corvette .

Marinised Marinisation ( also marinization ) is design , redesign , or testing of products specifically for use and long - term survival in the harsh marine environment . This is done by many manufacturing industries worldwide including many military organisations ( especially navies ) . There are three main factors that need to be considered for a product to be truly marinised . These three factors are a constant in the marine environment . Even on a dead calm day all three factors will still apply . This includes non salt water marine . Examples . Electronics . Marinised electronics are electronics that use one or more of the following protection methods . In most cases more than one method is used : Metals . Marinised metals include some of the following examples : Batteries . Marinised batteries are usually Gel battery or sealed maintenance free battery . Not using marinised batteries in salt water can be deadly in an enclosed environment for many reasons :

Halil Sami was in charge of the Ottoman 9th Division on the morning of 25 April 1915 known as The First Battle of Krithia . He was responsible for a very difficult section of the peninsula . His division faced the British 29th Division landing on 5 individual beaches with an initial force of 6 infantry battalions and 2 infantry regiments . The total force on the beaches were the 6th Company defending Sarıtepe Altı and İkiz Koyu , 12th , 10th , 9th and 11th Companies defending Teke koyu and Ertuğrul koyu with a platoon defending the Zığındere : Sığındere ( Gully Ravine ) .

Great Slav Rising The Great Slav Rising in 983 was an uprising of the Slavic Lutici and Obotrite people living to the east of the Elbe in modern north - east Germany . They were revolting against their subjugation to the Kingdom of the Eastern Franks ( also known as East Francia ) . Background . The Slavic peoples between the Elbe and the Baltic had been conquered and nominally converted to Christianity by the campaigns of the Saxon kings Henry the Fowler and Otto the First , who was also Holy Roman Emperor . Otto I had most recently defeated the Obotrites at the Battle of Recknitz in 955 . The area of the Elbe and Baltic Slavs was first a part of the Saxon Eastern March , but this was divided into smaller marches in 965 . The Archbishopric of Magdeburg in particular carried out active missionary work . The uprising . While there was internal dissention in the Holy Roman Empire over the succession to the archbishop Adalbert of Magdeburg and the emperor Otto II , Slavic forces led by the Lutici revolted and drove out the political and religious representatives of the Empire . The bishops ' seats of Brandenburg und Havelberg were occupied and the monastery at Kalbe an der Milde was plundered . The Obotrites joined the Lutici in the bishopric of Oldenburg and assaulted Hamburg . A hastily assembled Saxon army was only able to retain the Slavs behind the Elbe for a short while . Lusatia and the Sorbian Marches , which were under Saxon - Thuringian rule , did not take part in the uprising . Aftermath . From 985 , the princes of the Empire carried out annual campaigns together with the Polish princes Mieszko I and Bolesław I to subjugate the area . However these campaigns were unsuccessful . Emperor Henry II tried a different approach . He allied himself in 1003 with the Lutici and waged war against his previous ally the Duchy of Poland under Bolesław I . This stabilized the independence of the Lutici and ensured that the area remained ruled by Slavs and unchristianized into the 12th century . The immediate consequences of the uprising were an almost complete stop on further German eastward expansion for the next 200 years . The bishoprics of Brandenburg and Havelberg existed for some time in titular form only . Only in the late 12th century did further German conquests and settlements resume east of the Elbe , and this was in partnership with Slavic princes .
