Carlo Lombardi ( Unionist soldier ) Carlo Lombardi ( Brescia , 28 February 1834 - Fort Fisher , North Carolina , 1865 ) was an Italian patriot and soldier whose military career as an officer spanned from the Risorgimento - the Italian Unification Wars - to the American Civil War . Early years . Born to Giuseppe and Elisabetta Torelli , he took part to Italian patriotic movements from a very young age . At the time , the northernmost part of the Italian Peninsula ( except the Sardinian - Piedmontese Kingdom ) was included in the Kingdom of Lombardy - Venetia . " De facto " this was a client state of the Austrian - Hungarian Empire , which sought to crush any semblance of conspiracy by extreme measures , including imprisonment , exile or execution . Therefore those who , like Lombardi , engaged in activities aimed at ousting the Austrians from the land had a Sword of Damocles constantly hanging over their head . After the Piedmontese were defeated in the Battle of Custoza ( 1848 ) , Lombardi sought refuge in the friendly Kingdom of Sardinia and enlisted in the " 20º Reggimento Fanteria " , participating in the latter stages of the First Italian War of Independence in 1849 . In that same year he also managed to return to his native city and take part to the Ten Days of Brescia between 23 March and 1 April . After the uprising was crushed he returned to Piedmont , but was arrested on occasion of the Milan revolt ( 1853 ) . Unlike fellow citizen Tito Speri ( a central figure in the Brescia insurrection ) who was hanged , Lombardi managed to avoid the noose by fleeing to the United States . He came back to Italy in 1859 to fight in the Second Italian War of Independence , and the following year he enlisted in the Medici expedition ( that took place after Garibaldi ' s Expedition of the Thousand ) . He was wounded at Milazzo and promoted to the rank of Captain . Soon after , he obtained a discharge from the Army to stay with the Redshirts and followed Garibaldi even in the Battle of Aspromonte . In 1863 he left Italy for good and settled in the United States . Union Army career . As soon as Lombardi landed in the States he enlisted , again as a Captain , in the Union Army where he was appointed command of a Company of African - American soldiers , distinguishing himself for " uncommon bravery " . Death . He took part to the Second Battle of Fort Fisher , North Carolina , viewed by many as decisive in the American Civil War . He died there on 16 January 1865 , when the powder magazine in the fortress accidentally detonated causing hundreds of casualties on both sides . The Confederate garrison had surrendered just one day earlier . Homage . Carlo Lombardi was mentioned in the exhibition " Brescia per l ' America per Brescia " , dedicated to Brescian citizens who contributed to any fields of American history and culture . The exhibition was hosted in the city museum " Santa Giulia " in Summer 2010 . Sources . Antonio Fappani , " Enciclopedia bresciana " volume 7 . Published by " La Voce del Popolo " , Brescia , 1987 .
Panzerkampfwagen V Panther The Panzer V Panther tank was a medium tank fielded by the German Wehrmacht in 1943 . It was fielded during the heat of World War II in 1943 to counter the Soviet T - 34 . The T - 34 and KV - 1 had proven to be two Russian tanks that the Wehrmacht had had difficulty defeating since the beginning of Operation Barbarossa in 1941 . The Panther was thus built as an answer mainly to the T - 34 medium tank . It supplemented the Panzer IV tank ( in fact , it was supposed to replace the Panzer IV but was never produced in enough numbers to accomplish this ) and also served alongside the Tiger I and Tiger II tanks . It made good use of slopped armor which proved itself much to the Germans dismay by the T - 34 ' s in the Russian steppes . It had excellent firepower , mobility and firepower and is often regarded as the best all around tank of World War II . Despite initial problems , the Panther was able to prove itself in later variants ( such as Ausf . A and Ausf . G ) as a superior Panzer to most Allied tanks . It was used on both the Eastern and Western Fronts . One famous incident involving the Panther was the so - called ' Barkmann ' s Corner ' incident , where Waffen - SS commander Ernst Barkmann defeated nine Shermans by himself in a Panther tank on the Western Front in 1944 . One notable variant was the PzKpfW . V Ausf . F or Panther II , which used a Schmalturm and was equipped with a 88mm cannon . However , this variant was not mass - produced , and is another example of a " too little , too late " concept of Nazi Germany . As with other chassis developed by Germany during WWII , the PzKpfW . V chassis was used as a platform for various other platforms . These include : Bergepanther : A Panther chassis mounted with a crane to service inoperable vehicles and remove them from the battlefield . Kugelblitz : A Panther chassis with a turret featuring two 20mm AA cannons , developed very late in the war ( like the Panther II ) .
Type 010 - class minesweeper The Type 010 class minesweeper is the Chinese version of the Russian Soviet T - 43 class oceangoing minesweeper . The origin of this class is rooted from the need to solve the typical problem of minesweepers : due to the special needs of the mine countermeasure requirement , the minesweeper is the most expensive type of warship to acquire and operate in terms of tonnage . In order to reduce the operational and life cycle cost , the People ' s Liberation Army Navy has adopted the same practice of the Royal Navy : using the minesweepers as patrol boat s , and the heavy patrolling duties thus has significantly reduced the overall cost of minesweepers . To strengthen the ship for long range heavy patrol duties , the Chinese added more weapons to their Type 010 class minesweeper , resulting in a more heavily armed version than the original Soviet T - 43 class : four extra Chinese Type 61 25 mm guns ( II x 2 ) and a single Type 90K 85 mm gun were added , while eight Chinese 14 . 5 mm heavy machine gun s ( II x 4 ) replaced the less powerful 12 . 7 mm machine gun s of the original T - 43 class . In addition , living accommodations were also upgraded to have some limited crew comfort improvement for the long patrol duties . This class proved itself as a good class of patrol boat s during the Battle of the Paracel Islands , the 1974 naval battle fought between South Vietnam and China in the South China Sea , being the largest Chinese naval unit fought in the battle , taking on the South Vietnamese frigates eight times its size , and successfully sinking one South Vietnamese frigate and damaging the other two . Although both of the Type 010 class suffered damage , some severe , all were rapidly repaired and back on patrol with a few months . Two boats fought the battle were # 389 & # 396 , and # 396 was heavily damaged in the battle and was forced to beach itself , but was repaired after the battle and was back in action . The repair cost of # 396 was the most costly among all Chinese combatants in the naval engagement . In addition to the increased armament , the Chinese version is slightly larger than their Soviet counterparts and instead of the 58 meters length of the original Soviet T - 43 class minesweeper , the Chinese Type 010 class minesweeper is 60 meters long . The Chinese Type 010 class minesweeper also has greater displacement : 590 tons instead of the 570 ton of the original Soviet T - 43 class minesweeper . In order to man the extra weaponry , the numbers of total complement is increased from the original 65 - 70 of the Soviet T - 43 class minesweeper to 80 . Both of Type 010 and T - 43 class minesweepers can be used as minelayers and submarine chasers , but the T - 43 class cannot be used for patrol roles . The several units of the original T - 43 class minesweepers transferred from former - Soviet Union have all being retired from active service , placed into reserve fleets subordinated to naval militia for weapon training , while some of the Type 010 class minesweepers remain active despite their age and obsolescence .

Castle Koon The Koon shot of Operation Castle was a test of a University of California Radiation Laboratory designed thermonuclear device . The ' dry ' two - stage device was known as " Morgenstern " . It was tested on 7 April 1954 . The predicted yield of Morgenstern , which had a highly innovative secondary stage , was between . 33 and 3 . 5 megatons , with an expected yield of 1 megaton . The actual yield was 110 kilotons . Morgenstern was a ' fissile fizzle ' . Post shot analysis showed that the failure was due to the premature heating of the secondary by the neutron flux of the primary . This was a simple design defect , and not related to the unique geometry of the secondary . The UCRL ' s other shot , the ' wet " , i . e . cryogenic , Ramrod device , originally scheduled for the Echo shot was cancelled because it shared the same simple design defect as Morgenstern . It would be well over a decade before weapons were designed which utilized a primary concept similar to that which went untested in the Koon shot .

Regimental Aid Post A Regimental Aid Post ( RAP ) is the equivalent to the American Battalion Aid Station . In the British Army , Canadian Forces and other Commonwealth militaries , the RAP is a front line military medical establishment incorporated into an infantry battalion or armoured regiment and designed for the immediate treatment and triage of battlefield casualties . The term was used at least as early as the First World War and has been in continuous use ever since . The RAP has traditionally been staffed by the unit ' s Medical Officer , a Medical NCO , and a small number of medical orderlies . Additionally , units have employed stretcher bearers , and more recently , trained medics , for the evacuation and immediate treatment of battlefield casualties . The RAP has traditionally been the first stop in the evacuation chain for seriously injured personnel , who are then transported to casualty clearing stations and other larger medical units further to the rear . RAPs are not generally equipped to provide surgical treatment or long term care .
