SP70 SP70 self - propelled gun was a scheme set up by several European nations including the UK , Germany and Italy beginning in 1973 . The project was shelved in favour of the US M109 , which was already in service . The SP70 was ' outgunned ' on several occasions by the M109 and further development was cancelled in the 1980s . The role envisioned for the SP70 , which was to replace the widely used U . S . M109 self - propelled howitzer , was ultimately fulfilled by the AS - 90 , or self - propelled gun for the nineties , another self - propelled 155 mm howitzer system , which was originally created by an independent team which had anticipated that the SP70 project would fail .
USS Conqueror ( AMc - 70 ) USS " Conqueror " ( AMc - 70 ) was an Accentor - class coastal minesweeper acquired by the U . S . Navy for the dangerous task of removing mines from minefields laid in the water to prevent ships from passing .

Battle of Craibstone The Battle of Craibstone was fought on 20 November 1571 between Clan Gordon and the Clan Forbes on an area that has now been constructed over , found in central Aberdeen , Scotland . It was part of the Marian civil war in which the Clan Forbes supported the King and Clan Gordon supported the Queen . So called due to its proximity to Craibstone Croft , the battle was won by the Gordons who forced the Forbes into retreat in approximately one hour with the loss of sixty men . According to news of the battle sent to John Lesley , the secretary of Mary , Queen of Scots , the number of casualties was three - score , 60 men , on each side , and the son of Lord Forbes , Alexander Master of Forbes , was imprisoned at Huntly Castle . According to the chronicle " Diurnal of Occurrents " , the Master of Forbes accompanied by Captains Chisholm and Wedderburn marched from Cowie to Aberdeen on 20 November 1571 . Chisholm and Wedderburn , the Regent ' s men , commanded two bands of musketeer s called " hagbutters . " Their whole strength was about 800 men . Adam Gordon of Auchindoun and Captain Ker had 900 men in the town . The Forbes came over the bridge of Aberdeen , and fought with Adam ' s men for an hour at Craibstone . The Forbes retreated , Chisholm and 300 men were killed , and the Master of Forbes and 200 men were captured . Two hundred Gordons were killed . Richard Bannatyne mentions that some cavalry commanded by Alexander Campbell fought with the Forbes . Bannatyne says that the Forbes and the Regent ' s troops came to Aberdeen because they were short of food . Adam Gordon was reluctant to fight because he was outgunned , but saw his chance after the troops " foolishly " wasted their ammunition . The Forbes bowmen or archers or archers fled , Bannatyne wrote they " gave backis , and did no guid . " The " Historie of King James Sext " says there were 600 cavalrymen .

Advanced Light Torpedo Shyena Advanced Light Torpedo ( TAL ) Shyena is the first indigenous new - generation light - weight torpedo of India , developed by Naval Science and Technological Laboratory of the DRDO for the Indian Navy . Introduction . Shyena is a processor based torpedo which incorporates solid - state electronics , digital technology and has been equipped with an integrated Active / Passive sensor package for homing . It is designed to be capable of launching from both a helicopter or from a triple - tube launcher on surface vessels . Its key design feature are maneuverability and ability to transition from warm to cold medium to ensure a hunt and kill . The development period of the torpedo was quite long , starting in the 1990s , and was inducted into the Indian Navy on March 3 , 2012 , when the Indian Defence Minister A . K . Antony handed over the first consignment of TAL to the Navy in Hyderabad in March 3 . Design and development . Development of this missile was started by the Naval Science and Technological Laboratory ( NSTL ) in 1990s , under the Advanced Experimental Torpedo ( TAE ) program . It is an advanced capability torpedo and is heavily based on the Whitehead A244S torpedo . NSTL had faced an difficult task of developing a torpedo which could sustain its efficiency , in particular the maneuverability and structural integrity while travelling from the air medium to water after being launched from air . The computers perform their respective tasks , which are the successful launch of the torpedo , the homing of the target and its control and finally the recording of the data for analysis . Shyena is electrically propelled , and can target submarines with a speed of 33 knots with endurance of six minutes in both shallow and deep waters . It can operate at depths of a few hundred meters and has self - homing , i . e . it can home in on targets by passive / active homing and explode on impact . Once launched , it can perform pre - programmed search patterns for available targets . The torpedo weighs around 220 kg . Trials . By 1998 , " Shyena " was ready for trials , and it was tested 24 times by the NSTL from 1998 to 2000 . During trials , thrust was laid on monitoring of various factors through four computers fitted on board Shyena . User evaluation tests with designed and engineered models of the TAL took place in 2003 - 2005 , following which the Navy was convinced of the system ' s capabilities , and the fact that 95 per cent of the components were indigenous , and ordered 25 units , and is likely to order more . The TAL is currently being manufactured by Bharat Dynamics Limited at its Visakhapatnam unit . Coverage . In his book " Naval Institute Guide to Combat Fleets of the World : Their Ships , Aircraft , and Systems " , Eric Wertheim has described the Shyena as an up - and - coming torpedo developed by the DRDO . " Pursuit and Promotion of Science " , a report published by Indian National Science Academy mentions Shyena as an advanced experimental torpedo .
