" Scorpion " , commanded by Sailing Master Stephen Champlin , first cousin to Oliver Hazard Perry , operated with Commodore Perry ' s squadron on Lake Erie during the summer and fall of 1813 . On 10 September 1813 , she participated in the battle off Put - in - Bay , Lake Erie , which resulted in the defeat and capture of the British fleet ( see Battle of Lake Erie ) .

1st Space Control Squadron The United States Air Force ' s 1st Space Control Squadron ( 1 SPCS ) was a space situational awareness unit located at Cheyenne Mountain AFS , Colorado and later moved to Vandenberg AFB , California . 1 SPCS commanded the United States Space Surveillance Network to detect , track , identify and catalog positional data for all man - made objects in Earth orbit . Mission . " " Building space situational awareness is not the science of becoming omniscient about space but the art of understanding what ' s relevant for command and control of space forces . " " Lt Col Chance Saltzman , former 1 SPCS Commander The 1 SPCS tracked and compiled positional data on thousands of man - made objects in space partly to prevent collisions between newly launched satellites and other objects already orbiting the earth . Additionally , the unit had the mission to task 30 space sensors within Space Surveillance Network to track satellites for US Strategic Command ( USSTRATCOM ) to maintain an accurate satellite catalog ( SATCAT ) of over 9000 object orbiting the earth . , To support manned space flight , 1 SPCS constructs a theoretical box around the space shuttle , MIR or ISS , and projects flight path intersections for 36 to 72 hours . If any objects intersects the theoretical box , the unit forwarded the analysis to NASA , allowing them to determine whether to change the spacecraft / space station ' s flight path . Based on 1 SPCS mission analysis , and its predecessor units , NASA has moved the space shuttle 12 times and the International Space Station five times since 1981 . In June 1995 , the unit tracked the U . S . Space Shuttle Atlantis during its historic rendezvous with the Russian space station Mir . The unit also compiled a catalog of space objects . The 1 SPCS also contained international personnel , such as Canadian military , since SSA was not just a U . S . problem . History . The 1st Command and Control Squadron provided collision avoidance support during each shuttle mission as well as maintaining an extensive satellite catalog ( the " SATCAT " or " Box score " ) . This catalog is used by U . S . civilian and military agencies when launching new satellites into space , as well as by U . S . allies . The roots of the 1 SPCS reach back to 1961 , with the Space Detection and Tracking System Center at Ent Air Force Base , CO . Through several moves , name changes , personnel , experience , and equipment , they were activated as the 1st Command and Control Squadron activated at Cheyenne Mountain AFS , CO , in December 1989 , and were later redesignated in October 2001 , as the 1 SPCS . Though the unit moved to Vandenberg AFB , California in 2007 to better coordinate activities with the Joint Space Operations Center ( JSPoC ) , it lost over 150 years of expert civilian experience . Inactivation . The unit was inactivated on 9 Jun 2008 , and its mission and members integrated into the 614th Air and Space Operations Center / Joint Space Operations Center . Unconfirmed sources state that Cheyenne Mountain AFS may retain some capability to cover the 1 SPCS mission , if required .

Rolls - Royce Falcon The Rolls - Royce Falcon is an aero engine developed in 1915 . It was a smaller version of the Rolls - Royce Eagle ; a liquid cooled V - 12 of 867 cu in ( 14 . 2 L ) capacity . Fitted to many British World War I era aircraft , production ceased in 1927 . An airworthy Falcon survives today and powers a Bristol F . 2 Fighter during summer displays . Design and development . Production of the Falcon began in September 1916 and was so successful that it was also manufactured under licence by Brazil Straker in Bristol . Production continued until 1927 , by which time 2 , 185 had been built . An unusual feature of this engine is the epicyclic propeller reduction gear which contains a clutch designed to limit the maximum torque , thus protecting the reduction gears . The Falcon was notably used in the Bristol F . 2 Fighter and Blackburn Kangaroo bomber . Variants . " Note : " Applications . " List from Guttery and Lumsden : " Survivors . Bristol F . 2B Fighter , " D - 8096 " , is based at the Shuttleworth Collection and is powered by a Falcon III , this aircraft flies regularly throughout the summer months .
TKB - 506 The TKB - 506 ( ) was a small handgun designed to look like a cigar tin or lighter , developed by Igor Stechkin , allegedly on the orders of the KGB . The dimensions of TKB - 506 are 11 x 9 . 2 x 2 cm . Weighting 0 . 44Kg empty , it could fire three 7 . 62 mm rounds , each held in a separate barrel only 2 . 5 cm long and each having a separate striker . Device number 10 can now be seen at the Tula arms museum . TKB - 506A had an identical armament , and similar weight of around 0 . 47 Kg with ammo , but was even smaller ( 7 . 4 cm height ) by doing away with the cut - through hole used for the trigger in TKB - 506 . The gun was co - developed together with the first generation Soviet silent ammunition SP - 1 , which did not see production , and SP - 2 , which proved practical enough . The principle of operation was to use a piston - type cartridge , which did not allow the burnt gases to escape it . The safety mechanism of Glock - 17 and GSh - 18 pistols was first implemented in TKB - 506A by , but Stretchkin who did not consider it important and did not apply for a patent .
Restricted Duty Ribbon The Restricted Duty Ribbon is a decoration of the United States Coast Guard which was first created on March 3 , 1984 . The award recognizes those Coast Guard personnel who have completed a permanent tour of duty at specific shore units where accompanying dependents are not authorized . Where a service member is assigned without his or her dependent family members , the duty status is known as " unaccompanied . " Standard unaccompanied duty tours are normally one to two years in length and occur in remote duty locations such as Greenland and the Arctic , and in combat areas . The Restricted Duty Ribbon is awarded at the conclusion of the unaccompanied tour . In the case of overseas restricted duty stations , personnel who are eligible to receive the Restricted Duty Ribbon are not eligible to receive the Coast Guard Overseas Service Ribbon for the same period . The Coast Guard is the only branch of the United States armed forces to award a decoration for the completion of unaccompanied duty tours , although the assignments for which the Air Force Overseas Short Tour Service Ribbon is awarded are usually unaccompanied . Additional awards of the Restricted Duty Ribbon are denoted by bronze and silver service star s .
