RS Sjøfareren RS " Sjøfareren " is the largest lifeboat in use by the Norwegian organization Norwegian Society for Sea Rescue . History . " Sjøfareren " ( meaning " The Sea Farer " ) was built at the Smedvik Mekaniske Verksted A / S in Tjørvåg and launched in 1968 . During the period 1971 – 1978 , she was equipped with a much more powerful radar than was standard in this type of boat . Out of the eleven men that served aboard the boat in that period , seven developed cancer and died of it ( the last died in 2005 ) . It is speculated that it was the increased radiation from the radar that caused it , similar to the later HNoMS " Kvikk " . During the period , " Sjøfareren " operated in the waters between Svalbard and Jan Mayen , which has led to speculations that it was used as a spy ship to gather intelligence of Soviet Navy movements . This has been rejected by both the Norwegian Intelligence Service as well as the Norwegian Society for Sea Rescue . In the late 1980s , " Sjøfareren " was leased and repainted for use by the Norwegian Coast Guard as a fishery inspection vessel . It was only in April 2002 that she again was painted in the traditional colours of the Norwegian Society for Sea Rescue .

Greek destroyer Aetos Aetos ( , " Eagle " ) served in the Royal Hellenic Navy from 1912 – 1945 . The ship , along with her three sister ships of Wild Beast class destroyer s " Ierax " , " Panthir " and " Leon " , was ordered from England . They were purchased in 1912 , ready for delivery , each for the sum of £148 , 000 , from the English shipyards Camell Laird in Birkenhead , when the Balkan Wars seemed likely . These ships had originally been ordered by Argentina ; " Aetos " was originally named " San Luis " . The four ships were sailing with a non - Greek crew to Algiers , to meet the requisitioned personnel transport ship " Ionia " which contained the Greek crews for the ships . When " Aetos " entered the Mediterranean she went adrift due to a serious engine breakdown . By pure coincidence one of the other destroyers passed nearby and towed " Aetos " to Algiers . During the Balkan Wars , the Royal Hellenic Navy purchased only the minimum amount of ammunition . Torpedoes were not available for this class of ship , and for this reason these ships were initially named ' scouts ' rather than ' destroyers ' . She was under the command of Commander A . Douroutis , RHN . During World War I , Greece belatedly entered the war on the side of the Triple Entente . Due to Greece ' s neutrality , the four Beast Class ships were seized by the Allies in October 1916 , taken over by the French in November , and served in the French Navy from 1917 - 18 . By 1918 , they were back on escort duty under Greek colors , mainly in the Aegean Sea . " Aetos " participated in the evacuation of Greeks from Russia during the Russian Civil War in 1918 and saw action in the Greco - Turkish War ( 1919 - 1922 ) in the Sea of Marmara and the Aegean Sea . After the war , " Aetos " was extensively rebuilt by the J Samuel White yard from 1925 – 1927 and emerged as a much more modern unit . Four Yarrow boilers replaced her five original units with 5 funnels reduced to two . This allowed the bridge to be moved further aft reducing spray and allowed a deckhouse to be built forward of it for a super firing 4 - inch gun . One more gun between the funnels and one on the quarterdeck aft with two single Pom Pom ' s completed the gun armament . Torpedo tubes were increased to 2 triple mounts and a Vickers director fire control as was fitted . Aetos participated in the Second World War . After surviving the German invasion of Greece in April 1941 , " Aetos " served under the operational control of the Royal Navy based in the Indian Ocean , where despite her age she served with distinction . Further modifications included new anti - aircraft guns , and anti - submarine weapons . After the end of World War II , " Aetos " was stricken in 1945 .

It is said that , due to the respect they held for Hosokawa , the besieging army was somewhat slower and less effective than they might have been otherwise , and in the end the battle served to tie up these Western Army ( anti - Tokugawa ) contingents , preventing them from being present at Sekigahara .

Weapon storage area Weapon storage areas ( WSA ) , also known as special ammunition storage ( SAS ) , were extremely well guarded and well defended locations where United States and NATO nuclear weapon s were stored during the Cold War era . In most situations , the WSA or SAS areas were located inside the perimeter of an army barracks or an air base in NATO territory , but in a few cases they were located deep inside wooded areas and miles away from a military base . Due to changes in the political landscape , the number of special weapons in Europe has been drastically decreased . Moreover , the introduction of the WS3 Weapon Storage and Security System has made WSAs obsolete . At present , few WSAs are still operational as modern day special weapons are stored in the floors of concrete aircraft shelters and placed under 24 / 7 electronic surveillance .

CXAM radar The CXAM radar system was the first production radar system deployed on United States Navy ships . It followed several earlier prototype systems , such as the NRL radar installed in April 1937 on the destroyer ; its successor , the XAF , installed in December 1938 on the battleship ; and the first RCA - designed system , the CXZ , installed in December 1938 or January 1939 on the battleship . Based on testing in January 1939 , where the XAF was more reliable , the US Navy ordered RCA to build six XAF - based units for deployment and then shortly thereafter ordered 14 more . The first six units RCA produced ( delivered in 1940 ) were denoted " CXAM " and were a fusion of XAF and CXZ technologies . These were installed on the battleship , the aircraft carrier ( in September 1940 ) , and the heavy cruisers , , , and . The next 14 units RCA produced ( also delivered in 1940 ) were denoted " CXAM - 1 " and were slight improvements over the CXAM design . These were installed on the battleships " Texas " ( in October 1941 ) , , , , and ; on the aircraft carriers , , , , and ; on the heavy cruiser ; on two light cruisers ; and on the seaplane tender . Radar detection range of aircraft depends on altitude , size , and number of aircraft . Surface ships are more difficult to detect due to ground clutter , and require shorter ranges . The CXAM is listed ( in U . S . Radar , Operational Characteristics of Radar Classified by Tactical Application ) as being able to detect single aircraft at 50 miles and to detect large ships at 14 miles . Other sources list CXAM detection range on aircraft out to 100 miles . " Lexington " < nowiki > ' < / nowiki > s CXAM - 1 detected the incoming Japanese carrier aircraft strike at a range of 68 miles during the battle of the Coral Sea . The US Army ' s first non - prototype radar system , the SCR - 270 radar , was developed in parallel with the CXAM . The US Navy ' s use of radar was an important advantage in World War II compared to the Imperial Japanese Navy ' s widespread lack of radar on its ships .

Limitrophe states Limitrophe states are territories situated on a border or frontier . In a broad sense , it means border countries - any group of neighbors of a given nation which border each other thus forming a rim around that country . The term derived from diplomatic French , means " " pays limitrophes " " . In ancient Rome , the term referred to provinces at the borders of the Roman Empire ( ) , which were obliged to provide billeting of the " limitanei " legion s deployed on their territory , mostly in " limes " . In modern history , it was used to reference provinces which seceded from the Russian empire at the end of World War I , during the Civil War in Russia ( 1918 – 1922 ) , thus forming a kind of belt separating the Soviet Russia from the Western powers . 1918 – 1939 . Before the Treaty of Versailles was signed on and even after it was not clear yet , which territories of Russian Empire , either occupied by German troops or engaged in the Civil War in Russia , may maintain their independence , which they started to proclaim from late 1917 . Thus the very composition of the Limitrophe zone was uncertain and varied widely . Arguing that these nations were then " the cards to change hands in big political games " , among them the Baltic peoples , Poles , Lithuanians , Ukrainians , Belorussians and so on . The usage of term " limitrophe states " continued after World War I . Treaties were signed through the beginning of World War II . The " Small Soviet Encyclopedia " ( 1929 ) defines the limitrophe states as " states formed from the outskirts of the former Tsarist Russia , mainly from the western provinces " . It includes in their list Estonia , Latvia and Lithuania , adding " and , partially , Poland and Finland " .
