In July 1866 the SS General Sherman entered Korean waters and attempted to travel upriver to the capital of the Joseon Dynasty , Pyongyang . Due to heavy rains in the region and the varying water levels along the river , the SS General Sherman ran aground near Pyongyang . The crew on the General Sherman attempted to trade with the locals . Korean officials refused all trade offers although they provided the crew with the supply of foods . Then , the crew of General Sherman imprisoned Korean officials to force the trade negotiation . When the tactic did not work , the crew fired the cannons against the civilians who gathered around the riverbank to see the ship . There were 7 deaths and 5 wounded . After this the Koreans opened fire on the ship and a battle ensued for the next four days , ending with the General Sherman being set ablaze and the crew all hacked to death . Even though this incident is recorded in Korean history and would later be the catalyst for the US expedition to Korea in 1871 , US Navy records state that the ship was active until the 10 January 1874 , when she sank off Cape Fear , North Carolina .
Maritime Underwater Future Capability Maritime Underwater Future Capability is the designation for UK Ministry of Defence studies to replace the Royal Navy ' s s and follow on from the . The MUFC project started as the Future Attack Submarine ( FASM ) , which envisaged the " Astute " class replacing the s and FASM replacing the " Trafalgar " class . In 2001 FASM was cancelled and replaced by MUFC . The MUFC could result in an entirely new design but is more likely to be a development of the " Astute " - class submarines for cost reasons . Reports ( e . g . " Defense News " ) have suggested that the MUFC studies may result in a single class of multi - role submarines to replace the " Trafalgar " class , SSBNs and eventually the " Astute " class . This would require a submarine capable of launching conventional land attack missiles , some form of nuclear missile ( ICBM or tactical nuclear missile ) as well as conventional submarine munitions including mines and torpedoes .

Argus Fernfeuer The Argus Fernfeuer ( Long - Range Fire ) concept was proposed in 1939 as a UAV for mine - laying . Later roles were planned for bombing , the dropping of torpedoes and long - range reconnaissance . Development was halted in 1941 but the project , also known as Erfurt , evolved into the V1 . Development . Arising from the Argus As 292 project , the Argus Fernfeuer was also designed by Fritz Gosslau . During the testing of the small As 292 drone , Gosslau proposed an aircraft - sized UAV capable of delivering a one tonne drop charge over long distances . Control was either by line - of - sight radio control or by radio beam direction . A manned aircraft , flying clear of local defenses , would signal the UAV to release the drop - load . The Fernefeuer aircraft would then return to base . Guidance expertise would have been from C . Lorenz ; airframe advice and construction by Arado . A manned variant , intended as a command aircraft , was also included in the proposal . Presented to Reichsluftfahrtministerium ( RLM ) on November 9 , 1939 . Despite initial interest in the Fernfeuer concept , the RLM informed Gosslau and the Argus company that the project was to be shelved . Development abandoned by January 1941 in favor of the V - 1 flying bomb .
