Abd al - Rahman ibn Muhammad ibn al - Ash ' ath ‘ Abd al - Raḥmān ibn Muḥammad ibn al - Ash ‘ ath , commonly simply Ibn al - Ash ‘ ath , was a distinguished Arab nobleman and general under the early Umayyad Caliphate , most notable for leading a failed rebellion against the Umayyad viceroy of the East , al - Hajjaj ibn Yusuf , in 699 – 702 or 700 – 703 . The scion of a distinguished family of the Kinda ite tribal nobility , he played a minor role in the Second Islamic Civil War ( 680 – 692 ) and then served as governor of Rayy . After the appointment of al - Hajjaj as governor of Iraq and the entire eastern Caliphate in 694 , relations between the haughty and overbearing al - Hajjaj and the Iraqi nobility quickly became strained . Nevertheless , in 699 or 700 , al - Hajjaj appointed Ibn al - Ash ' ath as commander of a huge Iraqi army , the so - called " Peacock Army " , to subdue the troublesome principality of Zabulistan , whose ruler , the " Zunbil " , vigorously resisted Arab expansion . During the campaign , the army rebelled , and under Ibn al - Ash ' ath ' s leadership returned to Iraq , where it defeated al - Hajjaj , who fled to Basra , and seized Kufa . The revolt gained widespread support among religious scholars known as " kurra " ( " Quran readers " ) , and developed from a mutiny to a widespread anti - Umayyad rebellion . Caliph Abd al - Malik tried to negotiate terms , including the dismissal of al - Hajjaj , but hardliners among the rebel leadership pressured Ibn al - Ash ' ath into rejecting the Caliph ' s terms . In the subsequent Battle of Dayr al - Jamajim , the rebel army was decisively defeated by al - Hajjaj ' s Syrian troops . Al - Hajjaj pursued the survivors , who under Ibn al - Ash ' ath fled to the East . Most of the rebels were captured by the governor of Khurasan , while Ibn al - Ash ' ath himself fled to Zabulistan . His fate is unclear , as some accounts hold that , after long pressure from al - Hajjaj to surrender him , the " Zunbil " executed him , while others claim that he committed suicide to avoid being handed over to his enemies .

Battle of Hijla The Battle of Hijla ( 21 March 1918 ) was fought by the forces of the British and Ottoman Empire s during the Sinai and Palestine Campaign of the First World War . Hijla ( now called Makhadet Hijla ) is on the River Jordan a few miles upriver from the Dead Sea . Today the river is the boundary between Jordan and the “ West Bank ” area presently administered by Israel and the Palestinian Authority , but in 1918 it was territory of the Ottoman Empire . The British invasion had succeeded in taking Jerusalem at the end of 1917 . British General Edmund Allenby attempted a “ raid ” across the Jordan toward Amman in an effort to sever the railroad and resistance was met at Hijla and to the north at Ghoraniyeh , where fords provided means to cross . The river crossing was resisted by the Ottomans at both sites . The 2 / 19th Battalion ( St . Pancras ) London Regiment of the 60th Division tried to cross at Hijla , sending swimmers repeatedly across with ropes to attempt the construction of a pontoon bridge . Major Vivian Gilbert reported the events later . Many of the British soldiers were shot in the Jordan before the bridgehead could be established . Once established , the bridgeheads were maintained against the Ottomans , but the raids on Amman basically failed . This was the prelude to the Battle of Megiddo farther north in what is now Israel .

USS Glennon ( DD - 620 ) USS " Glennon " ( DD - 620 ) , a " Gleaves " - class destroyer , was the first ship of the United States Navy to be named for Rear Admiral James H . Glennon , who was a recipient of the Navy Cross . History . " Glennon " was launched on 26 August 1942 by the Federal Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company , of Kearny , New Jersey , sponsored by Miss Jeanne Lejeune Glennon , granddaughter of Admiral Glennon , and commissioned on 8 October 1942 , with Lieutenant Commander Floyd C . Camp in command . After shakedown training along the New England coast , " Glennon " guarded troops and supply convoys for the Amphibious Battle of Gela ( 9 – 15 July 1943 ) . It was here that the giant assault on Europe began sweeping in from the sea . She returned to New York on 3 December 1943 , then made two round - trip convoy escort voyages to the British Isles and one to Gibraltar . She arrived in New York from Gibraltar on 22 April 1944 , and stood out of that port on 5 May with a task group which arrived at Belfast , Northern Ireland , on the 14th . Assigned to Assault Force " U " of the Western Naval Task Force , she arrived in the Baie de la Seine , France , on 6 June . After patrolling around the bombardment group for submarine s and fast German torpedo boat s , she joined in gunfire support of troops ashore . On 7 June , she hurled in 430 5 inch shells ashore in support of troops advancing north toward Quinéville . Under command of Commander Clifford A . Johnson , she was again approaching her gunfire support station at 08 : 30 , 8 June , when her stern struck a mine . A whaleboat picked up survivors while minesweepers " Staff " and " Threat " arrived on the scene , one passing a towline while the other swept ahead of the damaged destroyer . The destroyer escort " Rich " closed in the wake of the minesweepers to assist , then felt a heavy explosion as she slowly rounded " Glennon " ' s stern to clear the area . Minutes later a second explosion blew off a 50 - foot section of " Rich " ' s stern , followed by a third mine explosion under her forecastle . " Rich " sank within 15 minutes of the first explosion . The minesweeper " Staff " found she could not budge " Glennon " , whose stern seemed to be firmly anchored to the bottom by her starboard propeller . Most of her crew boarded " Staff " , and those remaining on " Glennon " lightened her stern by pumping fuel forward and jettisoning depth charge s and topside gear . On 9 June , salvage equipment was assembled , and some 60 officers and men of the " Glennon " came back on board . The following morning , just as Cdr . Johnson was preparing to resume efforts to save his ship , a German shore battery near Quinéville found her range . A second salvo hit " Glennon " amidships and cut off all power . After a third hit , Cdr . Johnson ordered his crew to abandon ship and the men were taken off in a landing craft . " Glennon " floated until 21 : 45 , 10 June 1944 , then rolled over and sank . She suffered 25 lost and 38 wounded . " Glennon " was awarded two battle star s for services in World War II .

Battle of the Dardanelles ( 1807 ) The naval Battle of the Dardanelles took place on 10 – 11 May 1807 during the Russo - Turkish War ( 1806 – 12 , part of the Napoleonic Wars ) . It was fought between the Russian and Ottoman navies near the Dardanelles Strait . As the Turkish capital , Constantinople , heavily depended on maritime supply , Russia ' s Vice - Admiral Dmitry Senyavin , in charge of ten ships of the line and a frigate , established a blockade of the Dardanelles on 6 March 1807 . He maintained the blockade for two months , by the end of which period food riot s broke out on the streets of Constantinople and Sultan Selim III was deposed . His successor , Mustafa IV , ordered his captains to break the blockade at any cost . Pursuant to these orders , 8 ships of the line , 6 frigates and 55 smaller vessels under Kapudan Pasha Seyit - Ali ( who had fought against Senyavin two decades earlier in the Battle of Caliacria ) slipped out of the Straits and prepared to land in the island of Tenedos , which served as a base for the Russian squadron in the Aegean . Senyavin decided to forestall Seyit - Ali ' s plans and advanced against the Ottoman fleet . After several hours of fighting , the Russians appeared victorious and the Turks had to retreat to the Dardanelles . Senyavin pursued them into the Straits and attempted to destroy three badly damaged Ottoman ships of the line , but the heavy fire of the shore batteries and darkness compelled him to give up the pursuit . Although about 1 , 000 Turkish sailors were killed or wounded and no Russian ship was sunk , the battle appeared indecisive . Senyavin continued to blockade the Dardanelles before engaging the Turks in the Battle of Monte Sancto a month later . The book " Naval wars in the Levant " indicates that Senyavin allowed the Turks to attack Tenedos , while trying to approach from the southeast of this island to cut off their retreat to the Dardanelles , but was unable due to lack of wind , and the battle was a running battle , with the fleets ending up mixed together in the straits that night , eventually separating . Three Turkish ships of the line were left outside the straits , and these were attacked the next day , running aground just inside , but eventually were refloated , although they may not have been seaworthy .

USS Vermont ( 1848 ) USS " Vermont " ( 1848 ) was originally intended to be a ship of the line for the U . S . Navy when laid down in 1818 , but was not commissioned until 1862 , when she was too outdated to be used as anything but a stores and receiving ship . Built at the Boston Navy Yard . " Vermont " was one of nine 74 - gun warships authorized by United States Congress on 29 April 1816 . She was laid down at the Boston Navy Yard in September 1818 , finished about 1825 , and kept on the stocks until finally launched at Boston , Massachusetts on 15 September 1848 in the interest of both space and fire safety considerations . However " Vermont " was not commissioned at this time . Instead the already aged ship - of - the - line remained in ordinary at Boston until the outbreak of the American Civil War in April 1861 . Civil War service . Assigned to duty with the South Atlantic blockade . At this time , the cavernous hull of the vessel was badly needed as a store and receiving ship at Port Royal , South Carolina , and she was commissioned at Boston on 30 January 1862 , Comdr . Augustus S . Baldwin in command . She received orders to sail for Port Royal for duty with Rear Admiral Samuel F . Du Pont ' s South Atlantic Blockading Squadron on 17 February and left Boston on 24 February under tow by the steamer " Kensington " . Trapped in a North Atlantic storm . That evening , a violent northwest gale accompanied by snow struck the vessels while off Cape Cod Light , Massachusetts . " Kensington " let go the tow lines , but " Vermont " refused to obey her helm , broached , and had all her sails and most of her boats blown and torn away . The gale raged for 50 hours ; and , by the morning of the 26th , " Vermont " was drifting eastward with no rudder , her berth deck flooded , and much of the interior of the vessel destroyed . Later , on the 26th , " Vermont " sighted the schooner " Flying Mist " , hailed her , put a man on board and persuaded her captain to return to the east coast and report the helpless condition of the ship to naval authorities . Rescue vessels began to reach the stricken ship on 7 March and enabled " Vermont " to sail into Port Royal under her own power on 12 April . Service as an auxiliary . " Vermont " remained anchored at Port Royal , where she served the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron as an ordnance , hospital , receiving , and store ship and drew praise from Rear Admiral Du Pont . Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles ordered the vessel to return to New York City for " public service " on 25 July 1864 . She left Port Royal on 2 August and was replaced there by her sister ship - of - the - line . Post - war service .

DF - 41 The Dongfeng - 41 ( DF - 41 , CSS - X - 10 ) ( ) , is a Chinese nuclear solid - fueled road - mobile intercontinental ballistic missile . There are conflicting reports over whether the missile is in service yet . It has a rumoured operational range of between 12 , 000 km to 14 , 000 km , depending on payload . This would make the DF - 41 the world ' s longest ranged missile , surpassing the range of the US LGM - 30 Minuteman which has a reported range of 13 , 000 km . It is believed to have a top speed of Mach 25 , be capable of MIRV delivery ( up to 10 ) and can cover any position on the planet . The project started in the 1980s , and is now quite likely coupled with the JL - 2 program . Military experts had expected that it could be unveiled at the 2009 National Parade . However , rehearsals of the military parade did not feature this missile . It was anticipated that the DF - 41 will be delivered to the Second Artillery around the year 2010 . The DF - 41 was reported to have had its first flight test on July 24 , 2012 . In April 2013 , Taiwan ' s National Security Bureau head reported to the National Assembly that the DF - 41 was still in development , and not yet deployed . References .
RFA Olna ( A123 ) RFA " Olna " ( A123 ) was the third and final of the three " Ol " - class " fast fleet tanker " of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary . Her design was a development of the " Tide " - class ships of the late 1950s . She was commissioned in 1966 and served in the RFA for 34 years before final decommissioning in 2000 . " Olna " was the third ship of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary to bear the name . Service history . " Olna " entered service as the UK was pulling back from its final large imperial garrisons . Much of the ship ' s early life was spent supporting routine deployments around the world . In 1982 " Olna " left for the South Atlantic as part of the second wave of ships to leave the UK during the Falklands War . That group was centred around the destroyer HMS " Bristol " . Once " Olna " reached theatre , its time was primarily spent fuelling the carrier battle group . In 1990 , another wartime deployment beckoned . As forces built up in the Persian Gulf , " Olna " joined the British task force on station . " Olna " arrived in August 1990 , shortly after Iraq invaded Kuwait , and apart from a short maintenance period in Singapore was on station for the whole duration of the conflict . " Olna " operated further north than any other tanker as the US Navy was wary of mines after two ships had been severely damaged . At the end of the 1990s , retirement was in sight . 1999 and 2000 were spent in mothballs at Gibraltar until the outbreak of a crisis in Sierra Leone called for " Olna " to make one last deployment . The ship did not proceed to Sierra Leone , but instead relieved other RFA vessels of participation in a major exercise off Scotland . Following this exercise , the ship returned to reserve and decommissioned soon thereafter . In March 2001 " Olna " was sold to a Turkish shipbreaking firm , but owing to the high quantity of asbestos aboard she was diverted to Greece before finally going to Indian breakers .
