Haruna - class destroyer The " Haruna " class destroyer was a destroyer class built for the Japan Maritime Self - Defense Force ( JMSDF ) in the early 1970s . These helicopter carrying destroyers ( DDH ) are built around a large central hangar which houses up to three helicopters . Originally , the and its successor , the JMSDF , had intended to enable its fleet aviation operating capability . In 1960 , the Defense Agency planned to construct one helicopter carrier ( CVH ) with the Second Defense Build - up Plan , but this project was shelved and finally cancelled because the JMSDF changed their plan to dispersing its fleet aviation assets among destroyers , not concentrating in few helicopter carrier . The Japanese DDH was planned to be a hub with this dispersing fleet aviation concept with their logistics service capability for aircraft . At the beginning , equipment of this class were similar to those of the DDA . Every weapons , two 5 " / 54 caliber Mark 42 ( Type 73 ) guns and one Type 74 octuple missile launcher ( Japanese version of the American Mark 16 GMLS ) , were settled on the forecastle deck . But with the Fleet Rehabilitation and Modernization ( FRAM ) program in 1983 and 1984 , Sea Sparrow launchers , Phalanx CIWS systems and chaff launchers were added on the superstructure . With this upgrading program , this class became also enable to operate Naval Tactical Data System ( NTDS ) with OYQ - 6 / 7 combat direction system . The rear - half of the superstructure was helicopter hangar , and the afterdeck was the helicopter deck with the beartrap system . To operate large HSS - 2 ASW helicopters safely , the full length of the helicopter deck reached 50 meters .
SS Champlain The SS " Champlain " was a cabin class ocean liner built in 1932 for the French Line by Chantiers et Ateliers de Saint - Nazaire , Penhoët . She was sunk by a mine off La Pallice , France , in 1940 — one of the earliest passenger ship losses of the Second World War . Although not as well remembered as her larger fleetmates , the " Champlain " was the first modern ocean liner and embodied many design features later incorporated into the French Line ' s " SS Normandie " . Her interiors were designed by Rene Prou who decorated spaces on several earlier French Line ships , including the cabin motorship " SS Lafayette " . When she made her début in June 1932 , the " Champlain " was the largest , fastest , and most luxurious cabin class liner afloat . At the outbreak of the Second World War , the " Champlain " was pressed into evacuee work , transporting refugees from Europe to the safety of North America . This included many European Jews escaping Nazi Europe . Vladimir Nabokov and his family were passengers on the last voyage to New York in May 1940 . It was on the return trip that the " Champlain " met her fate . On 17 June 1940 , the liner struck a German air - laid mine while swinging at anchor in the waters off La Pallice , France , near Île de Ré , and quickly heeled over on her side . A few days later a German U - boat fired a torpedo into the hulk — possibly to finish her off , as much of the ship lay above water level . Many sources quote a wire service report from 1940 that as many as 300 lives were lost but this is erroneous . Although there were many injuries there were only 11 or 12 fatalities . She was one of the largest ships sunk in WWII . Her wreck lay quite visible for over twenty years and was eventually scrapped in 1965 .
Carrawburgh Carrawburgh is a settlement in Northumberland . In Roman times , it was the site of a 3½ acre ( 1 . 5 ha ) auxiliary fort on Hadrian ' s Wall called Brocolitia , Procolita , or " Brocolita " This name is probably based on the Celtic name for the place , and one possible translation put forward is ' badger holes ' . The fort there was the Wall ' s northernmost point , and just over a mile west of the nearest milecastle , Milecastle 30 . It either used the Wall ( narrow gauge on a broad base at this point ) itself as its northern rampart , or was built parallel to it but detached . It certainly postdates both the Wall and the vallum ( which it is built across ) . Only the fort ' s earthworks are now visible , the Wall at this point and the fort ' s north ramparts having been demolished for the construction of General Wade ' s early 18th century military road ( now the B6318 ) . The late nineteenth century archaeologist John Clayton carried out a partial excavation of the site , revealing a military bath - house outside the fort ' s west gate ( in 1873 ) and the fort ' s south - west corner - tower ( in 1876 ) . The " Roman Inscriptions of Britain " lists 48 inscriptions for the site . They show its garrisoning units to have been as follows : The First Cohort of Frisiavones are also attested at Brocolitia at some stage , as shown by an inscription on an altar stone , which tells us that Optio Maus had repaid a vow to the goddess Coventina . ( This unit is also recorded as present at Ardotalia . ) Whether this altar was the repayment of the vow is unknown . Temple of Mithras . In the small " vicus " on the low - lying marshy ground outside the fort ' s south - west corner have been found three religious sites , all connected with a small tributary stream of Meggie ' s Dene Burn , which runs three miles from Carrawburgh to empty into the River South Tyne near Newbrough ' s fort on the Stanegate . Nearest to the fort was an early 3rd century Mithraeum , of which remains can be seen onsite , and a reconstruction at Newcastle University ' s Museum of Antiquities . It was discovered in 1949 . Behind it was a nymphaeum ( found in 1957 and dug in 1960 ) . The third site was " Coventina ' s Well " , a centre for worship of the Romano - British goddess Coventina found in Clayton ' s 1876 dig , and from which the stream sprung . No remains of the nymphaeum or Well can now be seen onsite .
116th Field Artillery Regiment ( United States ) The 116th Field Artillery is a regiment of the Florida National Guard . Currently there are two battalions ; 2 - 116th FA is subordinate to the 53rd Brigade Combat Team , and 3 - 116th ( HIMARS ) is subordinate to the 164th Air Defense Artillery Brigade . History of the 116th Field Artillery : " The 116th Field Artillery has had a singular history in the period covered since the date of its organization in Florida . Perhaps no regiment of the Florida National Guard within the United States has had such dramatic calls upon its services . Woven into the pattern of everyday life , the work of the peacetime soldier calls forth little notice from the general public . However , when disaster threatens the structure of the commonwealth , either man - made , or by the hand of Providence , the National Guard steps promptly into the breach , and , with a steady hand firmly applied , brings aid and comfort to the stricken and punishment to the law breaker . " ( From the official regimental history , compiled by Lieutenant Colonel George E . Grace , Florida National Guard ) This regiment was originally organized during the World War at Camp Wheeler , Georgia as part of the 31st ( Dixie ) Division . Although transported overseas it saw no combat action and was mustered from Federal service on January 16 , 1919 . On December 5 , 1921 Sumter L . Lowry Jr . of Tampa , Florida upon commission issued by the Adjutant General , State of Florida presented for Federal Recognition three batteries to constitute units of a regiment to be known as the 116th Field Artillery . Thus on December 5 , 1921 three firing batteries , A , B , and C formed the basis of the First Battalion 116th Field Artillery . Major Sumter L . Lowry Jr . commanding . The battalion was inspected and mustered into service by then Lieutenant Colonel Vivian Collins present Adjutant General of Florida . Completion of the First Battalion was effected February 15 , 1922 with the establishment of Headquarters Battery and Combat Train First Battalion . In 1922 the City of Tampa and Hillsborough County furnished land and funds for the construction of stables , gunsheds , and armory buildings . An expansive movement was made for the establishment of a full regiment by the founding of the Second Battalion . Firing batteries D , E , and F were located at Lakeland , Plant City , and Arcadia with Headquarters Battery and Combat Train Second Battalion in Bartow . The Second Battalion participated in summer encampment in 1923 and was Federally recognized as a unit in August 23 , 1923 with Major Fred Hampton commanding . The regiment received official recognition at Tampa January 20 , 1924 .
4th Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Regiment The 4th Minnesota Regiment Volunteer Infantry was an infantry regiment that served in the Union Army during the American Civil War .

Heywood - class attack transport The " Heywood " - class attack transport was a class of US Navy attack transport that saw service in World War II . Like all attack transports , the purpose of the " Heywood " class ships was to transport troops and their equipment to hostile shores in order to execute amphibious invasions . To fulfill their mission , attack transports were fitted with a substantial number of integral landing craft , and were well armed with antiaircraft weaponry to protect themselves and their vulnerable cargo of troops from air attack in the battle zone . Background . The " Heywood " class is amongst the few classes of attack transport that were converted from pre - war tonnage rather than built from either Maritime Commission or Victory ship hull types during the war . The origins of the " Heywood " class go back to the U . S . entry into World War I . At that time , the US Shipping Board was set up to modernize America ' s merchant cargo fleet , and to provide ships suitable for service as naval auxiliaries . One of the Board ' s contracts was subsequently with Bethlehem Steel for the building of a class of ships which were to be long . They were known as the " 444 class " after their length in feet . Although they arrived too late to see service in the First World War , four ships of the class were duly completed in 1919 . As the Navy no longer had use for them , they remained idle in the hands of the USSB through the 1920s , but around 1930 they were purchased by the Baltimore Steamship Company and substantially modified into passenger / cargo vessels according to a Gibbs & Cox design . The modifications included lengthening the ships to from 444 to , installing accommodation for 81 tourist class passengers , and upgrading their powerplants to provide greater power and speed . Baltimore Steamship subsequently employed them on passenger , fast freight and mail runs between various US ports and between the US and Europe . In November – December 1940 , the US Navy acquired all four of the ships and converted them into troop transports , a process that took three to five months . The ships subsequently entered service between November 1940 and May 1941 . In 1942 , they underwent further modification into attack transports . In service . The ships saw most of their action in the Pacific Theatre , but the " William P . Biddle " also participated in Operation Torch ( the North Africa n landings ) , and both " Biddle " and " Neville " took part in the invasion of Sicily . All but " Biddle " took part in the Guadalcanal campaign , and all four participated in various other Pacific Theatre landings . The class as a whole earned 28 battle stars for World War II service , an average of seven stars apiece . Immediately after the war , most of the ships were occupied in deploying troops for occupation duties in newly - conquered Japan and in bringing home demobilizing servicemen in Operation Magic Carpet . All four ships were decommissioned shortly after the war in March – April 1946 . They appear to have been scrapped in the mid - 1950s .
Camp Mary Davis Camp Mary Davis was a Confederate army cavalry encampment established in 1861 to serve the Confederacy during the American Civil War . It was located near Tallahassee and most likely in Leon County , Florida , United States . Camp Mary Davis ' former location is reportedly at a cemetery at Tharpe and Old Bainbridge roads . Camp Mary Davis is known to have had these individuals :
Russian monitor Novgorod The Novgorod ( ) was an Imperial Russian warship . It was one of the most unusual warship s ever constructed , and still survives in popular naval myth , often described as the " ugliest warship ever built " . Together with her near - sister ship Rear Admiral Popov , they were affectionately called " popovkas " , after their chief designer . The hull was circular ( viewed from the top ) intended to be a particularly stable platform for guns but proving to be almost unmaneuverable in practice . She was designed by Andrei Alexandrovich Popov of the Imperial Russian Navy , with the purpose of creating a stable platform armed with a few heavy guns , that could operate in coastal waters , and be well protected by armour plating . The perceived advantage of the circular hull form was that a shallow - draught vessel could be built with a greater displacement ; a small ship could then carry the same armament as a much larger vessel with a more typical hull form . For comparison , a by and 13 - foot - draught vessel would only displace about 2 , 500 tons . The primary armament of " Novgorod " was two 26 - ton 11 - inch guns mounted on separate revolving turntables that could be moved independently or together . Recoil was suppressed by a hydraulic frictional compressor , and by wedges placed in the after part of their platforms . The ship was driven by six engines each with its own propeller shaft . Boiler and engine rooms occupied fully half of the interior hull space . The boilers were placed in two separate compartments , one on either beam . Four steam launch es were usually carried on deck . " Novgorod " and her near - sister " Rear Admiral Popov " proved poorly designed in use . They pitched and rolled excessively , even in moderate seas . They were slow , poorly maneuverable , and vulnerable to plunging fire . Worst though , was that the off - axis recoil of the guns would impart a centrifugal rotation to the ship . In operational use , these ships would have to throw their single rudder hard over during firing , to act as " water brakes " . This severely restricted the aiming and rate - of - fire of the main guns . Both ships ( dubbed ' popoffkas ' after their designer ) served in the Danube Flotilla during the Russo - Turkish War . Both were redesignated as " Coastal Defense Armor - Clad Ships " in 1892 , and relegated as storeships in 1903 . They were not scrapped until 1912 .
Army of the James The Army of the James was a Union Army that was composed of units from the Department of Virginia and North Carolina and served along the James River during the final operations of the American Civil War in Virginia . History . The Union Departments of Virginia and North Carolina merged in 1863 . Troops from these departments formed the XVIII Corps . In April 1864 the X Corps was transferred from the Department of the South and the two corps formed the Army of the James . Maj . Gen . Benjamin F . Butler was placed in command . During Lt . Gen . Ulysses Grant ' s Overland Campaign in 1864 , Butler made several unsuccessful attempts at Petersburg and Richmond . At the Battle of Cold Harbor the XVIII Corps was sent to act under the Army of the Potomac . The XVIII Corps also participated in the Siege of Petersburg . During the siege the Army of the James was mainly involved in the investment of Richmond . Butler ' s only major success as commander of the army was in September 1864 at the Battle of Chaffin ' s Farm , in which the army took a significant portion of the Confederate works guarding Richmond , including Fort Harrison . In December the army was reorganized and the XVIII and X Corps were for the time discontinued . All the black troops in the army were formed into the XXV Corps and the white troops into the XXIV Corps and the Departments of Virginia and North Carolina were separated . Units from the former XVIII Corps and X Corps were formed into the " Fort Fisher Expeditionary Corps " and sailed to Fort Fisher . Butler used his position as department commander to assume personal command of the expedition , but after his failure at the First Battle of Fort Fisher , Grant took the opportunity to relieve Butler of command . Maj . Gen . Edward Ord was placed in command of the Army of the James . Under Ord ' s leadership the Army of the James was to achieve its greatest success . The XXIV Corps participated in the final assaults on Petersburg , while the XXV Corps was the first unit to enter the fallen city of Richmond . Ord and the XXIV Corps followed the Confederates to Appomattox Court House where they cut off Robert E . Lee ' s escape route . The Army of the James was then present at the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia .
