USS LSM ( R ) - 198 USS LSM ( R ) 198 was a Landing Ship Medium ( Rocket ) of the US Navy during World War II . It was laid down at Charleston Navy Yard , Charleston , South Carolina . The ship was commissioned on 12 December 1944 with LtJG . George B . Timmerman Jr . , USNR in command . Service history . During World War II the ship was assigned to the Asiatic Pacific theater as part of the Fifth fleet . The Kerama Retto islands were a small chain of islands 15 miles west of the southwest tip of Okinawa . The invasion of the Kerma Retto was an opportunity to break in all twelve of the 188 - class LSM ( R ) s . One of the reasons that Admiral Turner wanted to capture Kerama Retto was his knowledge that the Japanese Sea Raiding Units had suicide boats hidden there . On the morning of 29 March three of these boats attacked the USS LSM ( R ) - 189 but were promptly destroyed . The northern half of the six - mile - wide invasion beach was assigned to Task Force 53 , under the command of Rear Admiral Lawrence F . Reifsnider . Embarked were the 1st and 6th Marine Divisions under Major General Roy S . Geiger . LSM ( R ) - 198 was part of the northern support craft along with USS LSM ( R ) - 194 , USS LSM ( R ) - 195 , USS LSM ( R ) - 196 , USS LSM ( R ) - 197 , and USS LSM ( R ) - 199 . On 13 April 1945 , LSM ( R ) 192 , 193 , 196 , 197 , 198 , 199 and LC ( FF ) 535 were assigned to night harassment and destructive bombardment of Ie Shima . They used irregular rocket fire for destructive harassment together with star shells fired from their 5 - inch guns for illumination and harassment . Their 40 mm guns prevented reinforcement of the beach defenses . The night patrols of the surrounding waters prevented any movement or mine laying . On the morning of 16 April , these LSM ( R ) ' s were used for rocket attack in support of assault troops . Approximately 2 , 600 rockets were fired into a large area composed principally of the South Eastern sector of the town of le Shima and the Eastern and South Eastern vicinities of Ie - gushuyama . Battle of Okinawa . During the long battle of Okinawa , the LSM ( R ) ' s were used to form pickets around the Allied Fleet . These pickets were to give advance warning of Japanese air attack , particularly by kamikaze aircraft . The LSM ( R ) s were used although their flotilla commander noted their unsuitability for the task . On 3 May and 4 May , among the losses to kamikaze attacks were USS LSM ( R ) - 195 , USS LSM ( R ) - 190 and USS LSM ( R ) - 194 .

Project Dye Marker Project Dye Marker was a cover name for an electronic anti - infiltration barrier system with a strong point / obstacle component . It was partially constructed by the American forces in 1967 - 1968 in South Vietnam along the eastern portion of the demilitarized zone . Some stretches of the defensive line were manned and equipped with the bunkers , outposts , reinforcing and fire support bases , surrounded by concertina wire . Other parts were under constant radar , motion and acoustic surveillance , and secured by trip wires , mine fields , and barbed - wire entanglements . Anti - infiltration barrier was a vital part of a strategic program unofficially referred to as McNamara Line , ( after the Secretary of Defence Robert McNamara ) , running across South Vietnam deep into Laos . McNamara Line was a grand scale , multimillion project , and was nicknamed in the media as Great Wall of Vietnam , McNamara ' s Wall , Electric Fence , and Alarm Belt . Dye Marker . The Dye Marker defensive line , previously called " Practice Nine " , stretched along the demilitarized zone starting from the South China Sea , and had a total length of 76 kilometers ( 47 miles ) . Construction was announced on September 7 , 1967 , and was carried out by the 3rd Marine Division . The plan called for a barbed wire fence with watch towers , which was presented to the public as a " barrier " . First , the 11th Engineers started to work on bulldozing the " Trace " , a path 600 meter wide and 11 kilometers long that was stripped of trees , brush and villages if needed . The backbone of the strong - point system were fortified bases Alpha 2 at Gio Linh on the east , Alpha 4 at Con Thien on the west , and Alpha 3 in between . The strong - point part of the anti - infiltration system in Quang Tri Province , Vietnam was also reinforced with electronic sensors and gravel mines . It intended to curb the flow of North Vietnamese troops and supplies through the demilitarized zone during the decisive years of the Vietnam War . 7 , 578 American marines have been deployed in support of Dye Marker strong point / obstacle system by 1 November 1967 . In addition , 4 , 080 American troops have been involved in the air - supported anti - infiltration part of Dye Marker . The strategic meaning of the Dye Marker , as well as a whole McNamara Line , which ended in Laos , was to stop infiltration of South Vietnam by the NVA forces . This would have allowed McNamara to scale back the American bombing of North Vietnam and start negotiations with Hanoi . Criticism . The defensive barrier system was criticized at the time of its inception for keeping American troops in static positions while facing mobile enemy forces .
Battle of Mons Lactarius The Battle of Mons Lactarius ( also known as Battle of the Vesuvius ) took place in 552 or 553 in the course the Gothic War waged on behalf of Justinian I against the Ostrogoths in Italy . After the Battle of Taginae , in which the Ostrogoth king Totila was killed , the Byzantine general Narses captured Rome and besieged Cumae . Teia , the new Ostrogothic king , gathered the remnants of the Ostrogothic army and marched to relieve the siege , but in October 552 ( or early 553 ) Narses ambushed him at " Mons Lactarius " ( modern Monti Lattari ) in Campania , near Mt . Vesuvius and Nuceria Alfaterna . The battle lasted two days , and Teia was killed in the fighting . Ostrogothic power in Italy was eliminated , and the remaining Ostrogoths went back north and ( re ) settled in south Austria . After the battle Italy was again invaded , this time by the Franks , but they too were defeated and the peninsula was , for a time , reintegrated into the empire .
Yokosuka E14Y The Yokosuka E14Y ( Allied reporting name Glen ) was an Imperial Japanese Navy reconnaissance seaplane transported aboard and launched from Japan ese submarine aircraft carrier s such as the during World War II . The Japanese Navy designation was " Type 0 Small Reconnaissance Seaplane " ( 零式小型水上偵察機 ) . Operational history . The " Glen " was used for several Japanese reconnaissance missions during the Pacific War . The " Glen " is the only Japanese aircraft to overfly New Zealand during World War II ( and only the second enemy aircraft after the German Friedrichshafen FF . 33 ' Wölfchen ' during World War I ) . On 8 March 1942 Warrant Officer Nobuo Fujita photographed the Allied build up in Wellington harbour in a " Glen " launched from the Japanese submarine I - 25 . On 13 March he flew over Auckland , before the I25 proceeded to Australia . On the night of 24 / 25 May Warrant Officer Susumo Ito flew a " Glen " over Auckland from the Japanese submarine I - 21 . Type A1 submarine I - 9 was caught off the New Zealand coast in early 1943 ; however , no Japanese aircraft was observed and any records of overflights were lost when the submarine was sunk . The " Glen " also has the distinction of being the only aircraft to drop bomb s on the United States mainland during World War II , in an incident known as The Lookout Air Raid . On 9 September 1942 , Chief Warrant Officer Nobuo Fujita , a pilot in the Japanese Imperial Navy , and his crewman , Petty Officer Shoji Okuda , surfaced in submarine " I - 25 " off the coast of Oregon near Brookings . His tiny seaplane had folding wing s and was transported in a small hangar attached to the deck of the submarine . The bombs - 76 kg ( 168 lb ) incendiaries intended to cause forest fires - caused no injuries or real damage . A total of 126 planes were produced . Surviving Glens discovered at Kwajalein . " Aviation History " magazine reported in the November 2008 issue that divers had found airplane parts in the " Akibasan Maru " wreck , a Japanese cargo ship sunk in the Kwajalein Atoll on 20 January 1944 , and rediscovered in 1965 . The parts ( including wings and floats ) have been finally identified ( April 2008 ) as belonging to two E14Y1 " Glen " floatplane s , through the use of photographs from the wreck and comparisons with original technical drawings and a captured technical manual .
UR - 100N The UR - 100N is an intercontinental ballistic missile in service with Soviet and Russia n Strategic Rocket Forces . The missile was given the NATO reporting name SS - 19 Stiletto and carries the industry designation 15A30 . Russia has 136 missiles still in service , and plans to keep them in their arsenal until 2030 . At present ( 2007 ) the missiles are deployed in Deraznja , Kozelsk , Pervomajsk and Tatiscevo . Development . Development of the UR - 100N began at OKB - 52 in 1970 and flight tests were carried out from 1973 through 1975 . In 1976 , the improved UR - 100NUTTKh ( SS - 19 Mod 3 ) version entered development with flight tests in the later half of the decade . The rocket ' s control system has been developed at NPO " Electropribor " ( Kharkiv , Ukraine ) . Description . The UR - 100N is a fourth - generation silo - launched liquid - propellant ICBM similar to the UR - 100 but with much increased dimensions , weights , performance , and payload . The missile was not designed to use existing UR - 100 silos , and therefore had new silos constructed for it . Missile has a preparation time to start of 25 minutes , a storage period of 22 years , and 6 MIRVs Operational history . The UR - 100N reached initial operating capability in 1974 , and by 1978 an inventory of 190 launchers were reached . In 1979 , the UR - 100UTTKh became operational and by 1983 had replaced many older missiles and reached maximum inventory of 360 launchers . This had fallen to 300 by 1991 , and with the dissolution of the Soviet Union , many in Ukraine became property of that nation . 170 remained in Russia , although treaty obligations required the rearming of the missiles with single warheads . Russia retains 30 UR - 100UTTKhs in its inventory . with the potential to retain as many as fifty by the end of the decade . Recent political developments have led to plans to rearm the missiles again with MIRV warheads . The units previously held by Ukraine have been returned to Russia or decommissioned . In December 2008 , the Strategic Rocket Forces had 126 UR - 100NUTTKh operational missiles . This does not , however , make them the most numerous ICBMs in the Russian arsenal ; that distinction belongs to SS - 25 ICBMs . The UR - 100N forms the basis of the Rockot space launch system , which was used in several successful launches in the 1990s and early 2000s , and one failed launch of the ESA CryoSat satellite in 2005 . After the failure , Rockot launches were suspended . Once the cause was unambiguously identified and corrective measures implemented , Rockot returned to active service on 28 July 2006 , with the successful launch of an earth observation satellite for South Korea .
