USS Tulip ( 1862 ) USS " Tulip " ( 1862 ) was a 183 - ton steamer acquired by the Union Navy during the American Civil War . " Tulip " was outfitted with heavy guns and was used by the Navy as a gunboat to patrol navigable waterways of the Confederacy in order to prevent the South from trading with other countries . Built in New York City in 1862 . " Tulip " — a wooden - hulled , steam lighthouse tender built at New York City in 1862 and 1863 as " Chih Kiang " by Jowett & Company for the Chinese Navy — was purchased by the Navy on 22 June 1863 at New York . Civil War operations . Assigned to the Potomac River Flotilla . Renamed " Tulip " and refitted for service as a tugboat and gunboat , the screw steamer joined the Potomac River Flotilla in August 1863 . That force patrolled the river protecting Union waterborne communications between the nation ' s capital and the port cities of the divided nation during the Civil War . She initially performed towing duties at the Washington Navy Yard , and then served with the flotilla in operations against Confederate forces in the Rappahannock River . In the latter duties , the ship carried Federal troops and supported naval landing parties which from time to time went ashore for operations against Confederate traffic across the river . Boiler explodes and ship is lost . As she continued this wartime riverine service into 1864 , " Tulip " developed a defective starboard boiler . Comdr . Foxhall A . Parker , commanding the Potomac Flotilla , ordered the ship home to the Washington Navy Yard so that repairs could be made to correct her defective propulsion plant . Tulip got underway on 11 November with orders restricting her steaming on the port boiler only . Not long after departing from St . Inigoes Creek , St . Mary ' s County , Maryland , her engineers , against all orders , began supplying steam to the starboard boiler . When abreast Ragged Point , the boiler exploded and tore the fragile ship apart — killing 47 men instantly — of the 57 - man complement . Of the 10 survivors , two died later as a result of the injuries received in the violent explosion which claimed the ship .

Fokker E . II The Fokker E . II was the second variant of the German Fokker Eindecker single - seat monoplane fighter aircraft of World War I . The E . II was essentially a Fokker E . I with the 75 kW ( 100 hp ) Oberursel U . I 9 - cylinder rotary engine , a close copy of the French Gnôme Monosoupape rotary of the same power output , in place of the E . I ' s 60 kW ( 80 hp ) Oberursel U . 0 , but whereas the E . I was simply a M . 5K with a 7 . 92 mm ( . 312 in ) machine gun bolted to it , the E . II was designed with the weapon system integrated with its airframe . Design and development . On 13 June 1915 , Anthony Fokker demonstrated the first E . II to an audience of German commanders , including Crown Prince Wilhelm of Germany , at a German Fifth Army airfield . On 23 and 24 June he demonstrated the aircraft at Douai to the German Sixth Army . It was during these demonstrations , only one week before any kills would be achieved in the " Eindecker " type , that Fokker himself attempted to engage an enemy aircraft but he was unable to find a target . The major difference between the types was a reduced wingspan on the E . II , intended to increase speed , but handling and climbing performance suffered . The type was therefore quickly superseded by the E . III . The E . II also had a larger fuel capacity of 90 litres ( 23 . 75 US gallons ) to supply the Oberursel U . I ' s 54 litres / hour fuel consumption , as compared to the E . I ' s 69 litres ( 18 . 2 US gallons ) capacity to feed its earlier U . 0 rotary , which used 37 litres / hour of fuel . As with the M . 5K / MG quintet of prototype Eindeckers , the pilot was provided with a head support to help him resist the airstream when he had to raise his head to use the gun sights . The heavier weight of the 75 kW ( 100 hp ) Oberursel U . I rotary engine used to power the E . II necessitated both a somewhat lengthened rear fuselage structure , in comparison to the E . I version to achieve proper balance , with the U . I engine ' s larger diameter requiring a larger radius " horseshoe " pattern cowl to enclose it , and the aluminum upper deck of the nose was raised along with it - resulting in metal soffit s having to be fitted where the upper deck met the upper longerons , with additional structural metal tubing additions to the forward ends of the upper longerons immediately behind the firewall to support the " soffits " and sides of the raised upper nose panel . This format was continued with the E . III . The E . II was built in parallel with the E . I and the choice of whether an airframe became an E . I or E . II depended on the availability of engines . In total , Fokker production figures state that 49 E . IIs were built and 45 of these had been delivered to the Western Front " Fliegertruppe " by December 1915 ( Luftstreitkräfte from October 1916 onwards ) at which time production switched to the main " Eindecker " variant , the Fokker E . III , which used the same 75 kW ( 100 hp ) Oberursel U . I engine . Some E . IIs under production were completed as E . IIIs and numerous E . IIs returned to Fokker ' s factory for repair were upgraded to E . III specification .

HMS J7 HMS J7 ( later HMAS J7 ) was a J - class submarine built for the Royal Navy by HM Dockyard Devonport in Plymouth and launched on 12 February 1917 . The submarine ' s layout differed from the other J class with the control room being placed behind the machinery spaces . This resulted in a changed external appearance with the conning tower further back compared to other members of the class . She was transferred to Australia on 25 March 1919 and operated out of Geelong . " J7 " paid off on 12 July 1922 , was sold on 26 February 1924 and her hulk scuttled on 4 June 1926 .

Yorkshire Brigade The Yorkshire Brigade was an administrative formation of the British Army from 1948 to 1968 . The Brigade administered the regular infantry battalions of Yorkshire , England . After the Second World War there were 14 infantry depots in Britain , each bearing a letter . The depots were territorially organised , and Infantry Depot E at Catterick was the headquarters for six line county regiments recruiting in Yorkshire and Northumberland . In 1948 , the depots adopted names and this depot became the Yorkshire and Northumberland Brigade , with all regiments being reduced to a single battalion at the same time . The Brigade was formed on 14 July 1948 and combined the depots of the following regiments : Under the defence review announced in July 1957 , the number of battalions in the Brigade was reduced to four in 1958 : the East Yorkshire Regiment and the West Yorkshire Regiment were amalgamated into the Prince of Wales ' s Own Regiment of Yorkshire , while the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers were transferred to the newly formed Fusilier Brigade . This led to the Yorkshire and Northumberland Brigade being renamed as simply the Yorkshire Brigade . As part of the 1958 reforms , all regiments in the Brigade adopted a common cap badge depicting a crowned white rose above a scroll inscribed " " Yorkshire " " . Regimental collar badges continued to be worn . On July 1 , 1968 the Yorkshire Brigade was united with the Lancastrian and North Irish Brigades , to form the King ' s Division . However , as part of reforms , the York and Lancaster Regiment chose to be disbanded .

The ridge is part of the range known as Jabal - ush - Sharq , which is an off - shoot of the Anti - Lebanon Range and runs in a north - easterly direction to Tadmur . The pass itself , not a formidable one , is quite long . Khalid stopped at the highest part of it , and here he planted his standard . As a result of this action the pass became known as Saniyyat - ul - Uqab , i . e . the Pass of the Eagle , after the name of Khalid ' s standard . From the Pass of the Eagle , Khalid moved to Marj Rahit , a large Ghassanid town near the present Azra on the road to Damascus . The Muslims arrived in time to participate in a joyous festival of the Ghassanids whose participation took the form of a violent raid . The battle . The joyous festival of the Ghassanid Christian Arabs turned into a violent battle . Large number of refugees from the region over which Khalid had recently operated had gathered at Marj - al - Rahit , and these refugees mingled with the crowds celebrating the festival . The Ghassanids were not unmindful of the danger which Khalid ' s entry into Syria posed for them . They had positioned a strong screen of warriors on the route from Tadmur , below the pass ; but this screen was scattered in a few minutes by a swift charge of the Muslim cavalry . Although some Ghassanid resistance continued as the Muslims advanced , it ceased once the main body of Muslims army reached and attacked the town . The Muslims raided the town of Marj Rahit . After a little while , having collected a large amount of booty and a certain number of captives , Khalid pulled out of the town and camped outside . The battle itself was not a major battle but it had some tactical importance to clean up the Muslim ’ s army rear so that the siege of larger cities could be laid in ease . Aftermath . The following morning he sent a strong mounted column towards Damascus with the task of raiding the Ghuta . Then , having sent a messenger to Abu Ubaidah with instructions to report to him at Bosra , Khalid himself set off for Bosra with the main body of the army , by - passing Damascus . The mounted column sent to Damascus reached the neighborhood of the city , picked up more booty and captives , and rejoined Khalid while he was still on the march . The minor operations following Khalid ' s entry into Syria were now over . Khalid ibn Walid moved to Bosra city and conquered it .
Her Majesty ' s Australian Ship Her or His Majesty ' s Australian Ship ( HMAS ) is a ship prefix used for commissioned units of the Royal Australian Navy ( RAN ) . This prefix is derived from HMS ( Her / His Majesty ' s Ship ) , the prefix used by the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom , and can be equally applied to warships and shore bases ( as Australia follows the British tradition of referring to naval establishments as ships or stone frigate s ) . On 10 July 1911 , King George V granted the title of Royal Australian Navy to the naval forces of Australia . At the same time , the prefix and acronym were approved for use in identifying units commissioned into the RAN . The prefix had been used prior to formal approval , with the torpedo - boat destroyer commissioned with the HMAS prefix on 1 March 1911 . The prefix refers to the King or Queen of Australia , who is also equally and separately the British monarch . The first word of the prefix changes depending on the gender of the reigning Australian monarch .
