Kusunoki Masatsura , along with his father Masashige and brother Masanori , was a supporter of the Southern Imperial Court during Japan ' s Nanbokucho Wars . Masatsura was one of the primary military leaders who revived the Southern Court in the 1340s . The Court had had little to no resources for three years ; the strategy was too focused on defending their base at Yoshino , and not on gaining allies , land , or income . The Kusunoki family , and Masatsura in particular , fought to gain power and support for the Emperor . In 1347 , Masatsura led an attack on " bakufu " ( shogunate ) sympathizers in Kii Province and ended up attracting supporters from Kii , as well as Izumi and Settsu Provinces . When the Shogun ' s Northern Court sent Hosokawa Akiuji to stop him , Masatsura met Hosokawa and defeated him in the battle of Sakainoura . After several more campaigns against the " bakufu " , Masatsura was killed in the Battle of Shijō Nawate , in February 1348 at the age of 22 . Before he died , he composed a death poem : Cultural references . In Equinox Flower ( 彼岸花 , Higanbana ) , a 1958 color Japanese film directed by Yasujirō Ozu , one of the characters declaims a poet " based on a death poem of patriot Kusunoki Masatsura " . Whether it has to do with the precious poem is unknown . An approximate translation is :

Hansa - Brandenburg W . 27 The Hansa Brandenburg W . 27 and W . 32 were prototype fighter floatplane s developed in parallel in Germany during World War I . They were developments of and intended replacements for the W . 12 then in service and differed from each other principally in the choice of powerplant , the W . 27 with a Benz Bz . III b and the W . 32 with the same Mercedes D . III that the original W . 12 used . Like the W . 12 , the W . 27 and W . 32 were single - bay biplanes of largely conventional configuration , unusual only in having no dorsal tail fin , but an all - moving rudder that projected below the fuselage and forward of the rudder post . They differed from the earlier design in having shorter fuselages , more severely staggered wings , and I - struts for both the interplane and cabane bracing , where the W . 12 had used more conventional strutting . Neither prototype resulted in any production orders , and the true successor to the W . 12 was to be its monoplane derivative , the W . 29 .

She followed this victory by helping capture Fort Anderson , North Carolina . Post - war . After the end of the Civil War , she was decommissioned at the New York Navy Yard on 3 June 1865 .

Bangor - class minesweeper The " Bangor " - class minesweepers were a class of warships operated by the Royal Navy ( RN ) , Royal Canadian Navy ( RCN ) and Royal Indian Navy ( RIN ) during the Second World War . The class derives its name from the lead ship , , which was launched on 19 February 1940 and commissioned on 7 November of that year . Royal Navy ships were named after coastal towns of the United Kingdom Their lack of size gave them poor sea handling abilities , reportedly worse even than the Flower class corvette s . The diesel - engined versions were considered to have poorer handling characteristics than the slow - speed reciprocating - engined variants . Their shallow draft made them unstable and their short hulls tended to bury the bow when operating in a head sea . The " Bangor " - class vessels were also considered overcrowded , cramming six officers and over 90 ratings into a vessel originally intended for a total of 40 . Despite claims to the contrary , the Australian " Bathurst " class corvette s were a wholly Australian design , and not based on the " Bangor " class . Design and development . The original intent of the " Bangor " - class minesweeper design was to provide a coastal equivalent of the " Halcyon " - class minesweeper ; however the realities brought to light by the start of the war caused a modification of the design before construction had started . The need for quick construction coupled with the limitations of engineering resources resulted in several variations existing based on the availability of propulsion machinery . The ships all had twin screws , but the machinery was a mix of steam turbine , slow - speed steam reciprocating , high - speed steam reciprocating and diesel . The diesel powered examples were about 20 feet ( 6 m ) shorter than the rest as they had no need for boiler rooms . Displacement varied with propulsion machinery from 590 to 672 tons . The reciprocating engine powered " Bangor " s were also known as the " Blyth " class and the steam turbine powered versions as the " Ardrossan " class .
