Spanish cruiser Emperador Carlos V Emperador Carlos V was an armored cruiser of the Spanish Navy which served in the Spanish fleet from 1898 to 1933 . Technical characteristics . " Emperador Carlos V " was built at the naval shipyard at Cadiz in Spain , the largest ship built in Spanish yards in this era . She was laid down in 1892 , launched on 13 March 1895 , and completed on 2 June 1898 . She was the only member of her class . Her boilers and machinery were of Spanish construction , her armor German , her stern and stern post British , and her gun turrets , which were installed at Le Havre , France , in 1897 , were French . She had three funnels and was weakly armored , relying mostly on her armored deck for protection . Her 11 - inch ( 280 - mm ) main guns were mounted fore and aft in center - line hooded barbettes . One of her strengths was considered to be her great steaming range . Operational history . " Emperador Carlos V " was brand new and not yet operational when the Spanish - American War broke out in April 1898 , but she was rushed into service and assigned to the 2nd Squadron , commanded by Rear Admiral Manuel de Camara . This squadron was ordered to steam to the Philippines and defeat the U . S . Navy ' s Asiatic Squadron , which had controlled Philippine waters since defeating the Spanish squadron of Rear Admiral Patricio Montojo y Pasaron in the Battle of Manila Bay .

" Bell " remained out of commission until August 1936 when she was declared in excess of the limits imposed by the London Naval Treaty of 1930 and reduced to a hulk . She was subsequently sold .
Box battery The box battery disposition of the main armament in a battleship was commonly used in ships built in the latter half of the 19th century ; it was an interim disposition between full length broadside guns and turret - mounted artillery . From the first time that artillery was carried aboard warships , in the early Tudor period , until the middle of the 19th century , warships had carried their cannon in long rows along their sides . Bigger ships had carried more and bigger cannon , culminating in wooden line - of - battle ships carrying some 140 muzzle - loading smoothbore cannon , 70 on each side . With the advent of steam power , and of iron armour , and of vastly larger guns , first - line battleships built from 1860 onwards tended to carry fewer but heavier guns on their broadsides . The first broadside ironclad to be commissioned into the Royal Navy was HMS Warrior , who carried only a relatively small number of guns as compared to the wooden ships who preceded her , but who could have destroyed any or all of them in combat . " Warrior " as completed carried twenty guns on each side . As artillery manufacturers produced heavier and yet heavier guns , warships , who are limited as to the weight they can carry , were able to carry fewer and fewer of them . The ultimate designs of broadside ironclad s allowed for ten or twelve heavy guns only to be carried . A ship at sea moves in response to the waves it encounters , and the ends move more than the centre . It followed that if a warship were to mount only a small number of guns , it would make sense to mount them centrally , where the movement of the ship was minimal . Having mounted the artillery in this central position , it also made sense to concentrate the armour of the ship around the guns , along with the engines and the command centre . It was felt unnecessary to armour the ends of the ship , or the superstructure , or the funnels . A central battery , surrounded by thick armour , became known as a box battery . ,
Dancon Dancon , an abbreviation of Danish Contingent , is the term that comprises all Danish national forces in a current military mission of the UN , NATO , or national character . Dancon is not a military unit per se , like a brigade , but rather an organisation in which all military units currently working in a mission are linked together . The commander of Dancon is usually the commander of the hierarchically biggest military unit associated with the specified mission , and does not have a headquarters of its own , but rather it is that military unit ' s headquarters . Because several Dancons can exist at the same time , the mission name is usually added to Dancon , like Dancon / Irak or Dancon / SFOR .
Mao Wenlong Mao Wenlong ( ; style name Zhennan 振南 ) ; ( 1579 – 1629 ) was a marine corps commander of the Ming Dynasty , famous for battling the Manchus in the Yellow Sea . He was known for excelling in artillery warfare and for successfully incorporating Western - style tactics into a Far Eastern military . Early life . Mao was born in Hangzhou and worked as a fortuneteller in his youth . He joined the Ming military in northern Shanhaiguan around 1600 . Career . Mao is sometimes blamed for the Manchu invasion of Korea . He was known for operating against the Manchu from bases within Korea , a Ming ally at that time . When the Manchus mounted a punitive expedition into Korea , Mao ordered a general retreat of all Chinese forces . This angered many Beijing merchants who had previously traded with the Korean peninsula . Mao never dared to drag major Manchu cities into war even when there was a strategic advantage in doing so . In addition , Mao bribed a number of eunuchs and other public officials . In this way Mao was able to bring to bear the influence of many powerful Chinese officials against Yuan Chonghuan , a fellow Ming military commander . Mao engaged in widespread smuggling using the Ming marine corps , contributing heavily to the booming economy of northern China . He was eventually caught and executed by Yuan Chonghuan , a fellow military commander who had been conferred the imperial sword of absolute authority by the last Ming emperor for smuggling . It is believed that Mao ' s death lead in part to an economic downturn in Ming China .

Ambrosini SAI . 10 The Ambrosini SAI . 10 " Grifone " ( " Griffon " ) was a military trainer aircraft produced in small numbers for the Italian Regia Aeronautica early in World War II . With the approach of war , the Ministero dell ' Aeronautica began a programme to increase the number of pilots available , and ordered a prototype primary trainer from Ambrosini . This aircraft , a parasol monoplane of mixed construction , first flew on July 8 1939 with Guiliano Ferrari at the controls . A production batch of 50 was ordered , but this was quickly reduced to just 10 machines , all of which were delivered in 1940 . Production aircraft differed by having a Fiat A . 50 radial engine in place of the prototype ' s CNA D . Other engine fits that were trialled included an example with a Siemens - Halske Sh 14 , and one with an Alfa Romeo 110 ; this latter machine designated SAI . 11 . Another experimental development that did not enter production was a float - equipped SAI . 10 Gabbiano ( " Seagull " ) .
