Marblehead Harbor Marblehead Harbor is a harbor located in Marblehead , Massachusetts , 17 miles northeast of Boston . It is considered the birthplace of the Continental Navy , forerunner of the United States Navy , and of United States Marine Corps Aviation . Description . Marblehead Harbor is located to the east of the town ' s center . To the south is an isthmus that connects the town to nearby Castle Rock , which is located on the eastern end of the harbor . The harbor is home to many yachts and also a fishing community , which has increased over the years . There are 2 , 000 moorings and the harbor contains 14 . 2 miles of tidal coastline . For a number of years , the Burgess Company was located along the shores of the harbor . Fort Sewall is also located along the northwestern edge of the harbor . Military history . Marblehead Harbor has a distinguished military history as well . It was the home port of the schooner " Hannah " , the first armed vessel of the Continental Navy , and her original owner and master and most of her crew were from Marblehead . A diary entry by a local sailmaker records her sailing on her first military expedition during the American Revolution , under the command of John Glover ; the birth of what was to become the United States Navy . The ship was equipped with cannon and with provisions including the indigenous " Joe Frogger " molasses / sea water cookie . The nautical backgrounds of the crew were instrumental in helping the colonists during various sea campaigns during the course of the war . On August 20 , 1912 , Alfred Austell Cunningham became the first Marine aviator , taking off from Marblehead Harbor in a Burgess Model H seaplane given to him by the Burgess Company . His flight began the era of United States Marine Corps Aviation . In July 1997 , the USS Constitution was moored overnight in Marblehead Harbor .

Valmet M82 The Valmet M82 is a bullpup assault rifle with a Valmet M76 internal design created by Finnish company Valmet . History . The M82 was introduced in Finland in 1978 and discontinued production in 1986 . Only ~ 2 , 000 M82 were manufactured , mostly as semi - automatic version in 5 . 56 mm NATO caliber for ODIN International ltd . in Alexandria , Virginia . Few samples were issued to the Finnish Army paratroopers , but the rifle was found unsuitable as service weapon . One issue that cropped up during its short service life was that the rear sight of an uncased rifle had a tendency to hit the lower face , nose and cheekbones of the paratrooper during landing . The rifle was also ill - balanced , as nearly all the weight was in the rear of the rifle . Technical Data . It is chambered for 5 . 56x45mm NATO caliber as model 255 470 and for 7 . 62x39mm caliber as model 255 490 . It has a Valmet M76 receiver , which is made from stamped and riveted sheet metal , constructed inside urethane stock . The trigger of the weapon is polymer to prevent heat of the barrel conducting to it , as the trigger is mounted to the barrel of the gun . Features . The M82 features an unusual sight arrangement . The front and rear sights , similar to a Bren Machinegun or some other belt fed machineguns , are offset to the left . The sights are aligned normally with the right eye , but are offset from the barrel about 1 . 25 inches . This results in the rifles windage being accurate for the zeroed range only . Shots taken at closer ranges to zero will hit to the right of the target and shots taken at longer ranges will hit to the left of the target . With the sight offset from the barrel by approximately 1 . 25 " , if the rifles windage were zeroed at 50 meters , at 100 meters distance the windage error would be about 1 . 25 inches and at 200 meters distance the windage error would be 3 . 75 inches . This results in a margin of error making shots over 300 meters difficult . Since the fixed sights do not allow for any elevation adjustment , it is clear that this weapon is meant for combat accuracy ( 6 " at 100 meters ) at short / urban ranges only and not meant to be a precision sniping tool . The offset sight arrangement and right side ejection mean that this weapon is very difficult to be used by left handers and not possible to use left handed in an urban or close combat situation . Modern bullpups have eliminated this drawback by using centrally - aligned optics and either forward , downward or rearward ejection to allow ambidextrous use in combat situations .
Awards and decorations of the Kriegsmarine Awards and decorations of the Kriegsmarine consisted of a series of war badges as well as a series of naval combat clasps ; these awards were considered part of a larger array of Third Reich military decorations . The following were the primary naval war badges awarded for service in various branches of the Kriegsmarine . In addition to war badges , naval personnel could also qualify for follow - on combat clasps . Such clasps were smaller in design and always awarded after receipt of a primary war badge ( thus , it was not possible to gain a combat clasp without having a war badge first ) . The combat clasps were the : Naval badges could further be upgraded to include an award with diamonds , although this stipulation was only for the primary war badges with combat clasps issued in a single degree only . On paper , every naval war badge could receive a diamonds upgrade , but in reality the breakdown was as follows :

Arbuthnot and Ambrister incident The Arbuthnot and Ambrister incident occurred in 1818 during the First Seminole War . American General Andrew Jackson invaded Spanish Florida and captured and executed Alexander George Arbuthnot and Robert C . Ambrister , two British subjects charged with aiding Seminole and Creek Indians against the United States . Arbuthnot and Armbrister were tried and executed in St . Marks , Florida . Jackson ' s actions triggered short - lived protests from the British and Spanish governments and an investigation by the United States Congress . Congressional reports found fault with Jackson ' s handling of the trial and execution of Arbuthnot and Armbrister , but Congress chose not to censure the popular general . Robert C . Ambrister was born Robert Chrystie Armbrister ( 1797 – 1818 ) , a British subject and a native of Nassau in the Bahamas . Armbrister was the youngest son of the South Carolina - born Loyalist , James Armbrister ( 1757 / 58 - 1833 ) who was then a Lieutenant Colonel in the colonial militia of the Bahamas . Son Robert had served in the British Royal Navy as a volunteer and as a Midshipman between 1809 and 1813 , when he returned to the Bahamas . During 1814 - 1815 he served in the Spanish Floridas as an auxiliary 2nd Lieutenant of the British Corps of Colonial Marines commanded by Brevet Major Edward Nicolls of the Royal Marines . Discharged from the military in Nassau in 1815 , the former Marine Lieutenant returned to Spanish Florida in 1817 with his fellow former Marine , Captain George Woodbine , and the Scottish soldier of fortune , Gregor Macgregor . Alexander ( George ) Arbuthnot ( born in Montrose , Scotland , in 1748 ) was an older man , a Scottish merchant , translator , and diplomatic go - between , on occasion , who had been present in the Floridas since 1803 . The executions of Arbuthnot , Armbrister , and at least two prominent Creek - Seminole leaders upon the demonstrated instructions of General Andrew Jackson , was perceived as an act of barbarity outside the existing conventions of warfare , both in Great Britain and elsewhere beyond the confines of the United States .
