F + W C - 3605 The F + W C - 3605 , nicknamed Schlepp ( " Tug " ) or " Alpine Anteater " , was a target towing aircraft operated by the Swiss Air Force from 1971 – 1987 . The aircraft was developed during the latter half of the 1960s by the Swiss Federal Construction Works ( Eidgenoessische Konstruktionswerkstaette ) ( EKW ) , renamed Farner Werke ( F + W ) in 1972 , as a conversion of the existing C - 3603 ground attack / target towing aircraft . Following a successful prototype conversion in 1968 , 23 craft were converted between 1971 – 1973 with some still flying to this day in private hands . Development . In 1967 the Swiss Air Force determined that their C - 3603 - 1 target - towing aircraft still had approximately 10 years of structural life remaining , but that the plane ' s Hispano - Suiza piston type engines were on the verge of wearing out , with replacements becoming scarce . The C - 3603 - 1 was based on a World War II era ground attack design which had been inspired by the design of the Messerschmitt Bf 109 . Evaluations of various types of foreign aircraft were conducted to find a replacement ; however , it was determined in 1965 that the most economical solution would be to re - engineer the existing aircraft with a modern turboprop engine . Accordingly , work began under the direction of Jean - Pierre Weibel to convert the 102nd C - 3603 into the prototype C - 3605 . The selected replacement engine was a Lycoming T53 turboprop . This was much lighter than the piston engine of the C - 3603 and so the conversion included an extension of the nose of the aircraft by to maintain the center of gravity . The remainder of the aircraft was left essentially unmodified . Early flight testing of the prototype began on 19 August 1968 . During testing it was found that a third vertical stabiliser was also required . Operational history . Flight testing showed that the prototype C - 3605 possessed satisfactory flight characteristics , and the conversion of 23 C - 3603 aircraft to C - 3605 standard began . The aircraft were delivered by F + W between 1971 and January 1973 . Whilst in the service of the Swiss Air Force the C - 3605s were usually painted in conspicuous yellow - and - black striped , high - visibility colour schemes . The plane operated faithfully in the target towing role , exceeding its expected 10 year structural life . However , by the mid 1980s , the aging aircraft had begun to show signs of airframe fatigue . This led to the decision to retire the type from service in 1987 with the surviving aircraft being sold off and replaced by converted Pilatus PC - 9 s in the target - towing role . Survivors . C - 3605s are displayed in several museums , including the " Flieger Flab Museum " ( Aviation Museum ) in Dübendorf , Switzerland and the Planes of Fame Museum in Chino , California . The C - 3605 is also popular as a " warbird " with civilian owners .

Altogether , Southampton lost seven churches during the blitz , as well as the Audit House , the Ordnance Survey offices and many shops , factories and homes . The last casualties of air raids in the city were in a small raid on the suburbs of the city in May 1941 and on 8 July 1941 in the area of Victory Crescent , Millbrook with the loss of at least three lives . The last major raid of over 50 bombers was in June 1942 , after that the worst was over .

Canadian Joint Incident Response Unit The Canadian Joint Incident Response Unit ( ) of the Canadian Forces was created " to provide timely and agile broad - based CBRN ( Chemical , Biological , Radiological and Nuclear ) support to the Government of Canada in order to prevent , control and mitigate CBRN threats to Canada , Canadians , and Canadian interests . " It is a sub - unit of the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command . History . Subsequent to the terrorist attacks of September 11 , 2001 , and the Chief Review Services Report on Nuclear , Biological and Chemical Defence of the same year , it became evident that the Canadian Forces needed to increase the breadth of its NBCD capabilities . The federal government , under then - Prime Minister Jean Chrétien , allotted $ 30 million in the December 2001 budget to enhance this capability and create the Joint Nuclear , Biological and Chemical Defence Company ( JNBCD Coy ) . In September 2007 , JNBCD Coy was reorganized into CJIRU , a rapid deployment response team due to the company ' s vast operational capabilities , duties , and responsibilities . Due to the requirement for rapid deployment of the unit , CJIRU is based alongside airlift assets at 8 Wing Trenton , Ontario . The former - JNBCD Coy Headquarters were located at CFB Kingston , Ontario .

The Second General Army was established on April 8 , 1945 with the dissolution of the General Defense Command into the First and Second General Army . It was essentially a home guard and garrison , responsible for civil defense , anti - aircraft defenses , and for organizing guerilla warfare cells in anticipation of the projected Allied invasion of the Japanese home islands in Operation Downfall ( or in Japanese terminology ) . Although its territory encompassed all of western Japan , its primary mission was to ensure the security of southern Kyūshū , which was regarded as the most probable target for invasion . Its forces consisted mostly of poorly trained reservists , conscripted students and home guard militia . After the fall of Okinawa , the command of the Second General Army was relocated to Hiroshima . When the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima , most of the military units , logistical arms and command staff of the Second General Army was killed . Survivors regrouped at Ujina Air Base at the outskirts of Hiroshima , where they organized relief efforts and maintained public order in Hiroshima once martial law was proclaimed . However , the atomic bombing ended the Second General Army as an effective military organization for Imperial Japanese Army units in western Japan . Elements remained in place under the American occupation authorities until November 1945 to assist with the demobilization of Japanese troops .

USS Barataria ( 1862 ) The first USS " Barataria " was a steamer captured by the Union Army during the American Civil War . She was used by the Union Navy as a gunboat in support of the Union Navy blockade of Confederate waterways . " Barataria " captured by the Union Army and placed into Union Navy service . " Barataria " , an ironclad gunboat , was seized by the Union Army at New Orleans , Louisiana , shortly after Flag Officer David Farragut ' s task force from the West Gulf Blockading Squadron captured that city on 25 April 1862 . The Union Army used the steamer through the end of the year and transferred her to the Navy on 1 January 1863 . Modified for Louisiana coastal and inland operations . The steamer was outfitted at New Orleans and armed with two 24 pounder howitzers so that she might serve as a gunboat in the shallow inland waters of Louisiana — such as Lake Borgne , Lake Pontchartrain , and Lake Maurepas . Although few records of her service have survived , it seems that " Barataria " was used primarily to support operations of Army troops commanded by Major General Godfrey Weitzel in Louisiana ' s coastal inland waters . " Barataria " strikes a snag in the river , is attacked by Confederates . While on such a mission , the gunboat commanded by Acting Ensign James F . Perkins struck a snag in Lake Maurepas at the mouth of the Amite River early on the morning of 7 April 1863 . Throughout that day , her small crew assisted by Union soldiers of the 6th Michigan Volunteers fought off Confederate guerrilla attacks while also jettisoning equipment to lighten ship . However , even sacrificing her bow gun and emptying her boiler failed to refloat " Barataria " by sunset . " Barataria " is put to the torch to prevent capture while her crew escapes . Then , lest she fall into enemy hands , Perkins put the torch to the stranded stern wheeler ; and her magazine exploded soon after all hands had escaped in small boats .
