Panssarimiina m / S - 39 and m / S - 40 The Panssarimiina m / S - 39 and Panssarimiina m / S - 40 are Finnish anti - tank blast mine that were used during the Winter War . Due to the demand for mines during the Winter War , a cheap , easy to produce mine was needed . The m / S - 39 was designed by a team led by Major A . Saloranta in October 1939 , it entered production on 8 November 1939 . After one week ' s production at furniture factories in Lahti and Helylä over 2 , 000 mines had been produced . By the end of the Winter War 133 , 000 had been delivered . The m / S - 40 was an improved version of the mine that differed in detail . The mine is a square wooden box containing a large block of explosive , the top has a thick rim over which a wooden cover is placed . When pressure on the top of the mine increases , the wooden cover collapses , pressing down on the mine and triggering it . During the Winter War the mine also had the advantage of being difficult to detect with contemporary mine detectors , though by modern standards it has a relatively high metal content .

AO - 46 ( firearm ) The AO - 46 was a gas - operated 5 . 45x39mm caliber , compact carbine / assault rifle prototype . It features a folding stock and the trigger is located just in front of the magazine , which doubles as pistol grip . In order to minimize the length of the gun , gas for automatic operation was collected not out of the barrel , but directly from the flash suppressor in the muzzle . Despite having the latter feature , the combination of a relative powerful cartridge and short barrel produced a flash comparable to that of a sawed - off shotgun . The weapon was an unsolicited design by Peter Andreevich Tkachev working at TsNIITochMash . Although not accepted for service , this design , in combination with report of the US use of the XM - 177 in Vietnam let the GRAU to start the competition known as Project Modern , which led to the adoption of AKS - 74U for service . Although the Soviet doctrine did not have an equivalent concept , the AO - 46 design corresponds to the Western concept of personal defense weapon ( PDW ) .

Later in the year , the warship escorted a convoy directly to Cherbourg , France . That last convoy escort mission was particularly nerve wracking owing to the late war German U - boat offensive in British waters . Following intelligence indications that next generation U - boats were planning to return to the western Atlantic , " Wilke " operated with a hunter - killer group in the Newfoundland – Nova Scotia area from December 1944 to May 1945 .

In September , she underwent a three - month overhaul at New York Navy Yard in preparation for her new role as an experimental antisubmarine ship . " Jack W . Wilke " sailed back to Florida on 7 January 1946 to commence operations out of Key West . During the years that followed , she carried out experiments in both tactics and sound equipment off Key West and during occasional cruises in the West Indies . The ship ' s schedule of experimental operations was interrupted on New Year ' s Day 1959 by the triumph of Fidel Castro ' s forces in Cuba ; and " Jack W . Wilke " steamed to Havana with other ships to help stabilize the situation and to protect American lives and property . During the remainder of the year , she operated off Key West and Norfolk on training operations , and took part in a special good - will cruise to Panama in October during a Caribbean training period . Returning to Key West , the ship decommissioned 24 May 1960 , and entered the Atlantic Reserve Fleet at Philadelphia . The old escort was struck from the Navy list on 1 August 1972 and later sold for scrap to Union Metals & Alloys Corp . , New York , on 4 March 1974 .
