Burning of Platte City The first Burning of Platte City , Missouri occurred during the American Civil War on December 16 , 1861 , after Union troops attempted to capture the bushwhacker Silas M . Gordon . Gordon , who lived in Platte County , Missouri , had been conducting numerous raids and was suspected of masterminding the September 3 , 1861 , Platte Bridge Railroad Tragedy in which a Hannibal & St . Joseph Railroad train was derailed on a sabotaged bridge across the Platte River ( Missouri ) by St . Joseph , Missouri , killing 17 to 20 and injuring 100 . Union troops went to capture Gordon in November 1861 but were stopped in a brief skirmish at Bee Creek , in which two Federals were killed and Gordon and his men left after running out of ammunition . Gordon with 30 to 40 men captured Weston , Missouri , in early December and carried off two Federal soldiers as captives . They camped on the lawn of the Platte County Courthouse in Platte City and Gordon was said to swagger around the square with a large sword at his side . Gordon stole county records from the courthouse and threatened to kill the district judge if he came to Platte City . Union General David Hunter issued an order from neighboring Fort Leavenworth , Kansas , for Platte County to either deliver Gordon or have the city burned . In early December , Colonel W . James Morgan of the 18th Missouri Infantry USA marched from St . Joseph to Platte City and set fire to the city and courthouse and captured three Confederate soldiers either home on furlough or returned home following the expiration of the terms of their enlistment . On December 17 Morgan ignored the pleas for leniency from the father of one the prisoners named Black Triplett . Instead , Morgan took Triplett and prisoner Gabriel Case to the Bee Creek site where the Federals had been killed . Triplett was executed outright and Case was bayonetted as he fled . The letters " U . S . " were scrawled in Triplett ' s blood on the Bee Creek bridge . ( See Bee Creek Massacre . ) Gordon was to engage in further guerrilla activities elsewhere in Missouri and Texas . In 1864 he returned to Platte City and Union troops once again burned the city .

USS St . Mary ' s ( 1798 ) The first USS " St . Mary ' s " was a Galley in the United States Navy . " St . Mary ' s " was built in 1797 at the Paterson Yard , St . Marys , GA . , was commissioned in 1798 . Captain John Braddock was erroneously reported as its commander . However , he had died in 1794 . " St . Mary ' s " was built on the St . Mary ' s River in Georgia in 1798 . One of seven galleys constructed and equipped by the Navy for operation under the War Department on coast defense duty during the Quasi - War with France , " St . Mary ' s " officers were appointed by the Secretary of the Navy , while the remainder of her crew was composed of local recruits . Service history . " St . Mary ' s " cruised off the Georgia coast from 1798 to 1801 to protect local commerce and coastal settlements from armed French vessels operating in the area . Able to maneuver under oars in the absence of wind , the galley was ideally suited for the defense of the many inlets and small harbors along the coast of the southern United States . In addition to defending settlements and waterways , her duty was to prevent hostile raids , depredations and to take or destroy any armed French vessels encountered . She was transferred to the Revenue Cutter Service late in 1801 .
HDMS Najaden ( 1811 ) HDMS " Najaden " was a frigate in the Royal Danish - Norwegian Navy . She was commissioned in 1811 and originally carried 36 guns , later being upgraded to 42 . She served briefly during the Gunboat War only seeing action once , when on 6 July 1812 the British ship of the line and the sank her during the Battle of Lyngør . The Battle of Lyngør effectively ended Denmark ' s involvement in the Napoleonic Wars . Origin . During their occupation of Copenhagen in 1807 , the British destroyed a partially built ship - of - the - line by hacking away the supports so that the ship fell on its port side , which crushed most of its timbers . The starboard side was essentially intact however , and the Danes used these timbers to build a new frigate – the " Najaden " . Career . During her entire short life , " Najadens " captain was the Danish naval officer Hans Peter Holm . Her maiden voyage on 29 February 1812 ( a leap year ) had been delayed by one day because the ship grounded whilst leaving Copenhagen harbour . She then dragged an anchor on arrival in Brekkestø , Norway , which led to rudder damage on rocks , which further delayed her entry on active service . Still , on this short voyage the ship had achieved a good average speed of ten knots . Then yet more early storm damage curtailed training of the crew . Battle of Lyngør . " Najadens " captain , Hans Peter Holm , also commanded the squadron that consisted of the three brigs - " Kiel " , " Lolland " ( or " Laaland " ) and " Samsøe " . Eyeing an opportunity to enforce the blockade and break the back of Dano - Norwegian seapower , the British deployed the 64 - gun third - rate ship - of - the - line and three brigs , the 18 - gun " Cruizer " - class brig - sloop , 14 - gun brig - sloop and the 14 - gun gun - brig . Within 45 minutes of the commencement of the action , " Najaden " had sunk , having suffered 133 dead and 82 wounded . Captain Holm survived , only to drown in an accident a few months later . The battle resumed as Norwegian gunboats found their way into Lyngør . At 2 a . m . on July 7 , " Dictator " , which had grounded , pulled herself off and departed , harried out of Norwegian waters by the gunboats . The British took " Lolland " and " Kiel " as prizes but had to abandon them after the two vessels grounded . The British did not set fire to either as they still had their crews and wounded aboard . The action cost " Dictator " five killed and 24 wounded , " Calypso " three killed , one wounded and two missing , and " Flamer " one killed and one wounded . Overall , the Danes acknowledged losing 300 men killed or wounded .

Battle of Hormozdgān The Battle of Hormozdgān was the climactic battle of the end of the Parthian Empire between the Parthian Empire and the Sassanid Empire , on April 24 , 224 AD . The Sassanid victory broke the power of the Arsacid dynasty , effectively ending almost five centuries of Parthian rule in the Middle East , Iran , Caucasus , and Central Asia . The battle was the culmination of rivalry between Ardashir son of Papag , Parthian vassal king of Persis and his overlord , Shahanshah Artabanus IV of Parthia . Ardashir ascended the throne of Persis in 208 AD after deposing his elder brother , Shapur . He immediately started expanding his domains and quickly conquered neighboring provinces of Kerman , Isfahan , Susiana ( modern Khuzestan ) , and Mesene ( modern Maysan ) . This expansion brought the attention of the Arscacid Great King Artabanus IV ( 216 – 224 AD ) . After a period of negotiation and maneuvering , war became inevitable . Ardashir moved his army into Khuzestan in the spring of 224 AD and took a favorable position in the field of Hormozdgān , near the modern Iranian city of Shushtar . His position allowed him to control the water supplies on the field . Artabanus moved with his army from the Arsacid capital of Ctesiphon in Mesopotamia , and had to take a less favorable position with limited access to water . What we know about the battle is based on biased Sassanian sources . The two armies clashed on April 24 , 224 AD . Sassanian records indicate that the battle was over the same day . The manpower of the two armies as well as the number of casualties are unknown . We can speculate that both commanders fielded large numbers of cavalry . We may also speculate that both armies deployed horse archer s in large numbers . Yet , it is reasonable to expect that at least Ardashir had some infantry on the field . It is also highly probable that both commanders relied on the shock effect of their core force of cataphracts to break the enemy line . What we know is that some Parthian forces defected to the Sassanid side , and Artabanus was killed in the battle . Sassanid sources picture Ardashir as the victor of a hand - to - hand combat with Artabanus . Given the mode of Iranian warfare , with its emphasis on protecting the commanders at any price , this claims may not be verifiable . Ardashir ' s son , prince Shapur ( later Shapur I of Persia ) was present on the field and based on rock relief evidence , led the Persian heavy cavalry .
Bandvagn 202 Bandvagn 202 ( " Bv 202 " ) is a tracked articulated , all - terrain vehicle developed by Volvo BM , a subsidiary of Volvo , for the Swedish Army . The vehicle is formed of two rubber Kegresse track units with a multi - directional pivot in between . The front unit contains the engine and gearbox through which power is delivered to the front and , via a propshaft in the pivot mechanism , the rear tracks . A hydraulic ram on the pivot " bends " the vehicle in the middle to steer it - there is no braking of track units for steering as on conventional tracklaying vehicles . The controls are a conventional steering wheel on the left hand front of the vehicle . Speed on land 35kmh , speed on water 7 kmh The Bv 202 carries driver and commander in the front unit and 8 - 10 troops in the trailer unit . It can be adapted for other , different , applications . Production started in Arvika in 1964 and ended in 1981 . The Bv 202 has since been succeeded by the Hägglunds Bandvagn 206 . The Bv 202 was designed to transport troops and equipment through snow or bog lands in the northern parts of Sweden . The last Swedish units to use this vehicle was the Cavalry , who found that the manual gearbox Bv 202 was much quieter than the automatic transmission Bv 206 . The Mk1 Bv 202 is powered by a Volvo B18 , the MK2 by the B20 . It has less ground pressure than a skier and is fully amphibious . The Bv 202 was used by NATO forces , and replaced the older Swedish Snow Trac ST4 Over - snow Vehicle which was employed by the British Royal Marines under NATO . See also .

AMX International AMX The AMX International AMX or simply AMX is a plane of air - surface attack used for missions interdiction , close air support and aerial reconnaissance . Was developed by international consortium " International AMX " . In Brazilian Air Force , he is called A - 1 . In Italy he is nicknamed " Ghibli " The AMX is capable of operating at high subsonic speeds at low altitude . Both day and night , and if necessary , from bases with poorly equipped or damaged runways . The game has relatively low signature in infra - red and reduced the front section radar to improve the success rate in the missions . Self - defense is provided by air - air missiles , guns integrated systems electronic countermeasures . Development . In 1977 the Italian Air Force issued a requirement for a fighter - bomber to replace their Aeritalia G . 91 and some of its F - 104 Starfighter . Instead of competing for the contract , Aeritalia ( Now Aeronautica Alenia ) And the Aermacchi agreed to make a joint proposal , since both companies were considering developing a similar class of aircraft for some years . Development work began in April 1978 . On March 27 , 1981 , the Italian government and the government of Brazil concluded an agreement on joint requirements for the aircraft , and Embraer was invited to join the program in July of that year . The first prototype flew on 15 May 1984 . Although this specimen has been lost on its fifth flight ( killing its pilot ) , the test program was considered quiet . Series production started in mid - 1986 , With the first copies delivered to Italian Air Force and Brazilian Air Force in 1989 . Since then , some 200 AMXs were built . The Italian AMX squadrons flew 252 combat missions over the Kosovo in 1999 , as part of Operation Allied Force , without a single loss Modernization . Responsible for entry into service of new technologies such as HUD ( Head - Up Display ) HOTAS ( Hands on Throttle and Sticks ) , MFD ( Multi - functional Display ) and RWR ( Radar Warning Receiver ) this will be a modernization program of the AMX fighter the same pattern of modernization of the Brazilians A - 29 and F - 5M . The company Elbit was hired to be responsible for the modernization of the vectors of combat . The program envisages the investment of U . S . $ 400 million over five years to modernize the 53 fighters AMX A - 1 . The Program also provides :
Hussein Badreddin al - Houthi Hussein Badreddin al - Houthi ( Arabic : حسين بدر الدين الحوثي ; also spelled Hussein Badr Eddin al - Houthi ) ( 1956 – 10 September 2004 ) was a Zaidi religious leader and former member of the Yemeni parliament for the Al - Haqq Islamic party between 1993 and 1997 . He was an instrumental figure in the Sa ' dah conflict against the Yemeni government , which began in 2004 . Al - Houthi , who was a one - time rising political aspirant in Yemen , had wide religious and tribal backing in northern Yemen ' s mountainous regions . Al - Houthi was accused by the Ali Abdullah Saleh regime of trying to set himself up as Imam , of setting up unlicensed religious centers , of creating an armed group called Shabab al - Muomineen ( English : Believing Youth ) , and of staging violent anti - American and anti - Israeli protests , as Al - Houthi ' s followers felt Yemen ' s government was too closely allied with the United States . According to a Sheik al - Houthi disciple , he had lived part of his life with his family in Qom , Iran . He claimed also that Al - Houthi ' s relationship with Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was similar to Hizbullah ' s leader Hassan Nasrallah . On 18 June 2004 , Yemeni police arrested 640 followers of Hussein who were demonstrating in front of the Sana ' a Grand Mosque , and two days later the Yemeni government offered a bounty of $ 55 , 000 . 00 for al - Houthi ' s capture and launched an operation aimed at ending his alleged rebellion . In July , Yemen Army forces had killed 25 al - Houthi supporters and upgraded the bounty for the Shi ' ite cleric to $ 75 , 500 . 00 ( 10 million rial s ) . After months of battles between Yemeni security forces and the Believing Youth , on 10 September the Yemeni Interior and Defense Ministries released a statement in which they declared that Sheikh al - Houthi had been killed with twenty of his aides in the Marran district , Saada Governorate . On 5 June 2013 , tens of thousands of Yemeni Shi ' ites attended the re - burial of the remains of al - Houthi in Sa ' dah , where armed rebels were deployed in large numbers . The new Yemeni government had turned over the remains of al - Houthi to his family on 28 December 2012 as a goodwill gesture to bolster national reconciliation talks . The previous government of Ali Abdullah Saleh , who had stepped down in 2012 after a popular uprising , originally buried al - Houthi in 2004 at the Sana ' a central prison to prevent his grave becoming a shrine for the Zaidi s . A representative of Yemeni President Abd - Rabbu Mansour Hadi attended the funeral , but a Houthi spokesman accused the central government of refusing to give visas to several dignitaries who wanted to travel to Yemen to attend the ceremony , and of tearing down pictures of al - Houthi put up in the Yemeni capital . The Zaydi militants , known as the Houthis , take their name from al - Houthi , his brothers Abdul - Malik al - Houthi , Yahia Badreddin al - Houthi are Abdul - Karim al - Houthi also leaders of the Houthi Rebels .
