Gleaves - class destroyer The " Gleaves " - class destroyers were a class of 66 destroyer s of the United States Navy built 1938 – 1942 , and designed by Gibbs & Cox . The first ship of the class was the USS " Gleaves " ( DD - 423 ) . The U . S . Navy customarily names a class of ships after the first ship of the class ; hence the " Gleaves " class . They were the production destroyer of the US Navy when it entered World War II . Description . " Gleaves " - class destroyers were virtually identical in appearance to the " Benson " - class destroyers ( DD - 421 ) , distinguishable only by the shape of their stacks — the " Gleaves " class had round stacks , and the " Benson " class had flat - sided stacks . Thus , the two classes were often collectively referred to as the BENSON / GLEAVES class . Initially they were known as the " Livermore " - class destroyers because the design was standardized with USS " Livermore " ( DD - 429 ) , after a requested design change — increasing temperature from 700 °F to 825 °F for follow - on ships from Gibbs & Cox . " " Gleaves " emerged as the class leader for all the Gibbs & Cox - designed ships , which also included all sixteen FY 1939 and 1940 ships ( DDs 429 – 444 ) , as Bethlehem ’ s follow - on bid to build more [ " Benson " - class ] ships with its own machinery was rejected . " An article at the National Destroyer Veterans Association site notes : " Some references identify the BENSON - GLEAVES class as the BENSON - LIVERMORE class . This was a designation for the FY 38 - destroyer procurement coined by popular writers in compiling a number of fleet handbooks , for example James C . Fahey ’ s The Ships and Aircraft of the U . S . Fleet , volumes 1 – 4 , 1939 – 45 . Some handbooks further split the class , adding the " Bristol " ( DD - 453 ) as yet another division . According to tradition , however , a class is identified by the lead ship ; hence BENSON - GLEAVES is the proper designation for this group of destroyers . " Twenty one were in commission when the Japan ese attacked Pearl Harbor . Eleven were lost to enemy action during World War II , including " Gwin " , " Meredith " , " Monssen " , " Ingraham " , " Bristol " , " Emmons " , " Aaron Ward " , " Beatty " , " Glennon " , " Corry " , and " Maddox " . Most were decommissioned just following World War II . Eleven remained in commission into the 1950s , the last withdrawn from service in 1956 . " Hobson " was sunk in a collision with the aircraft carrier " Wasp " in 1952 . In 1954 " Ellyson " and " Macomb " were transferred to the Japanese Maritime Self - Defense Force where they served as the JDS " Asakaze " and JDS " Hatakaze " ( DD - 182 ) . Film appearance . The 1954 movie " The Caine Mutiny " was filmed on the USS Doyle ( DMS - 34 ) and possibly the USS " Thompson " ( DMS - 38 ) . In the 1951 novel , the " Caine " is a " Wickes " - class or " Clemson " class destroyer minesweeper .

Bernhard Tessmann Bernhard Robert Tessmann ( August 15 , 1912 - December 19 , 1998 ) was a German expert in guided missile s during World War II , and later worked for the United States Army and NASA . Life . Tessmann first met rocket expert Wernher von Braun in 1935 . He had little interest in spaceflight , even though he had seen the sets of the film " Frau im Mond " since his father worked at Universum Film AG studios . Tessmann was involved in the basic planning for Army Research Center Peenemünde , moving there in late 1936 to supervise construction and conduct first engine testing there at Test Stand I . Tessmann worked on wind tunnels , then on thrust measuring systems for V - 2 engines . He was evacuated after the bombing in August 1943 to Koelpinsee where he designed ground equipment for V - 2 mobile units and was involved in the planning for the " Projekt Zement " underground V - 2 facilities at Ebensee , Austria , and test facilities near Lehesten . Tessmann was a key man in securing the V - 2 legacy at the end of the war . Once von Braun became afraid the SS would follow the Führer ' s " scorched earth " policy and destroy the tons of precious V - 2 documents and blueprints , he instructed his personal aide , Dieter Huzel , and Bernhard Tessmann , chief designer of the Peenemünde test facilities , to hide the documents in a safe place . It took three Opel trucks to carry the 14 tons of papers . The little convoy headed north on April 3 , 1945 toward the nearby Harz Mountains . By the end of the day Tessmann and Huzel found an abandoned iron mine in the isolated village of Dornten . Thirty - six hours later , all of the documents had been hauled by a small locomotive into the heart of the mine and hand - carried into the powder magazine . Eventually , von Braun and his leading V - 2 scientists voluntarily surrendered to the U . S . 44th Division . Almost as important was the recovery of the 14 tons of V - 2 documents hidden by Tessman and Huzel in the Dornten iron mine . Tessmann was transferred to the USA at the end of the war ( see Operation Paperclip and German rocket scientists in the US ) , and as of January 1947 , was working at Fort Bliss , Texas . Thereafter he worked his entire life with the rocket team , at Fort Bliss , White Sands Missile Range , and then at Huntsville . As of 1960 , he was a Deputy Director of Test Division at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center . He died in Huntsville , Alabama . The Ilse and Bernhard Tessmann Music , and Foreign Language Scholarship , are awarded at the University of Alabama , Huntsville .

SPAD S . XX The Blériot - SPAD S . 20 ( originally known as the SPAD S . XX ) was a French fighter aircraft developed near the end of World War I . Too late to serve in the war , almost 100 of these aircraft equipped the French Air Force in the years immediately following . These agile aircraft were also used successfully for air racing and record - setting . Design and development . The S . XX was a refinement of the S . XVIII and was a two - seat fighter biplane which carried a pilot and tail gunner . The design was conventional but featured an upper wing with a pronounced sweep - back . This was joined to the lower wing by large I - struts . Like its predecessor , the S . XX became known colloquially as the " Herbémont " , after its designer . Originally the French government issued an open - ended contract for these aircraft at the rate of 300 per month . However , this was cancelled at the Armistice , before any aircraft had been delivered . The order was later revived to obtain a modern fighter for France ' s post - war air force , and 95 were purchased . Additionally , the Japan ese Mitsubishi company bought three examples , and the government of Bolivia bought one . In 1918 , a S . XX set the world airspeed record for a two - seat aircraft , with a speed of 230 km / h ( 143 mph ) , and in July 1919 Joseph Sadi - Lecointe set an altitude record of 8 , 900 m ( 29 , 200 ft ) in one . This was the beginning of a prodigious streak of records set by a series of refined S . 20s with increasingly shorter wingspans . Before the year was over , Sadi - Lecointe set two new speed records for the S . 20 ' s class : 249 km / h ( 155 mph ) in September , and 252 km / h ( 157 mph ) in October , as well as winning the " Prix Henry Deutsch de la Meurthe " competition five days earlier . 1920 saw S . 20s used to break records not only in their own class , but the world absolute airspeed record three times over . On February 28 , Jean Casale reached 283 km / h ( 176 mph ) , but this was soon broken twice by Bernard de Romanet , first on October 9 with a speed of 292 km / h ( 182 mph ) , and then on November 4 at 309 km / h ( 193 mph ) . The same year , two S . 20s competed in the Gordon Bennett Cup . One , piloted by Casale , was disqualified , but the other , piloted by de Romanet placed second .
