Mahfuz Mahfuz ( or Mohammed ) ( , ) ( died July 1517 ) was Emir of Harar , and later Governor of Zeila Life and reign . Mahfuz led raids into the eastern provinces of Ethiopia for a number of years , selecting the season of Lent for his attacks , when the defenders were weakened by their fasts , until his final raid when he was slain in battle , randomly targeting Amhara , Shewa , and Fatagar south of the Awash River . Sources differ over the number of years he raided Ethiopia : Francisco Álvares states that his raids began in the reign of Eskender , and lasted 25 years ; however , Beckingham and Huntingford note that the Ethiopian " Paris Chronicle " , which draws on contemporary Ethiopian records , dates the beginning of these raids to the ascension of Lebna Dengel in 1508 . Upon reaching majority , Emperor Lebna Dengel decided to forgo his observance of Lent and oppose the Imam in battle , despite the advice and wishes of his councilors and people . He sent spies out to determine Imam Mahfuz ' s plans for that year , and learning the Imam was in Fatagar led his army there . He found Imam Mahfuz with the sultan of Adal encamped on a plain that was surrounded by mountains ; after first sending soldiers out to secure the passes , the Ethiopian Emperor closed upon Imam Mahfuz . Although Imam Mahfuz managed to enable Sultan Muhammed to escape with but four horsemen , according to Alvarez , Imam Mafhuz knew he was trapped and sought to die with honor . He called to the Ethiopians a challenge to fight in single combat , and Gabra Endreyas , who had been a follower of Emperor Lebna Dengel ' s father , accepted and killed the Imam . Mahfuz ' s head was cut from his body and displayed publicly in the Emperor ' s court . Alvarez states that this battle occurred the same year the Portuguese fleet attacked and burned Zeila , undefended because its garrison was with Imam Mahfuz in Fatagar , which Alvarez states happened in July 1517 . Beckingham and Huntingford note that a later Ethiopian historical manuscript ( MS Bruce 88 ) states that this battle occurred when Emperor Lebna Dengel reached the age of 20 , which indicates the battle happened in 1516 instead . Legacy . Mahfuz ' daughter , Bati del Wambara , married Imam Ahmad ibn Ibrihim al - Ghazi , who 10 years after Mahfuz ' death invaded Ethiopia , and wreaked extensive destruction upon the land in a jihad to make it a Muslim province .

White Train During the height of the Cold War , the White Train worked out of the Pantex plant in the Texas panhandle . This train moved nuclear weapons from the plant where they were constructed to numerous sites to support the US nuclear program . From 1951 to 1987 The Department of Energy ’ s Office of Secure Transportation ( OST ) used the train to move the weapons by rail . The train became the focus for peace and anti - nuclear weapon activism in the west . While the train ' s color was changed numerous times to avoid notice , it continued to be referred to by its original color . After the last attempt to prosecute protesters who blocked the passage of the train failed , the Department of Energy began instead to move nuclear weapons by truck without public notice .

Spanish ship Duque de Tetuán ( 1874 ) The floating battery Duque de Tetuán was an ironclad warship , a low - freeboard vessel similar in design to a monitor , of the Spanish Navy , and was constructed during the Third Carlist War to provide coastal defense and fire support for troops ashore . Completed after the end of the conflict for which it was designed , the ship was assigned to the defense of Ferrol . It remained in this duty , though briefly decommissioned in 1897 , until it was decommissioned and scrapped in 1900 . Design . Designed and constructed by the Reales Astilleros de Esteiro at Ferrol to meet an Armada requirement for a floating battery capable of providing gunfire support to troops ashore during the Third Carlist War , " Duque de Tetuán " was of wooden construction , its hull plated with iron armor thick . Some of the armor plate used in the construction of " Duque de Tetuán " came from the earlier armoured frigate " Tetuan " , which had burned under suspicious circumstances during the Cantonist rebellion at Cartagena . Armament consisted of a single cannon , and four rifled cannon . The construction of " Duque de Tetuán " took place at Cartagena , and the incomplete vessel was among the vessels captured by the rebel forces when they seized the city . Career . Despite the urgent need for such a vessel to provide fire support in the government ' s campaign against the Carlists , " Duque de Tetuán " was not completed in time to participate in the war . Of little use in any offensive role as a result of its design , it was considered " a failure as a ship of war " , and was assigned to the defense of the Armada base at Ferrol . " Duque de Tetuán " served in this unglamorous role , seeing no action , for the duration of its career . Considered a third - rate ship by the close of the 19th century , " Duque de Tetuán " was decommissioned and struck from the official strength of the Armada by 1897 . However , in 1898 , the outbreak of the Spanish - American War led to its being recommissioned , to once more defend Ferrol against attack , the ship being fitted with controls for the electric mines that had been laid to protect the base . After the end of the war , " Duque de Tetuán " was again decommissioned , and was sold for scrap in 1900 .

101 Squadron ( Portugal ) 101 Squadron " " Roncos " " ( " Esquadra 101 " ) is a flight training squadron of the Portuguese Air Force ( PoAF ) , based at Sintra Air Base ( " BA1 " ) , with the mission of providing elementary and basic flight training . History . Created in April 1978 as result of a reorganization of the PoAF , the squadron took command of all material and human resources of the then - disbanded 21 Squadron ( former , E . I . E . P . ) , based at Ota Air Base ( " BA2 " ) and equipped with the de Havilland Canada DHC - 1 Chipmunk .

VL Paarma VL Paarma was a Finnish biplane , two - seated trainer aircraft , designed by the State Aircraft Factory ( " Valtion Lentokonetehdas " ) for use with the Finnish Air Force . A prototype was constructed in 1930 - 31 and made its maiden flight on March 20 , 1931 . The aircraft was however under - powered , and the flight characteristics were poor . Suggestions for improvements were made and the engine was replaced by a higher powered one . The aircraft was damaged in 1933 and was never repaired .
Dash 10 Dash 10 is an electronic countermeasures ( ECM ) pod used on aircraft such as the Blackburn Buccaneer at RAF Honington . It was also used in the Falklands War by the Avro Vulcan Bomber . Functionality . Carried externally on a pylon under the wing of the attacking aircraft , the Dash 10 pod is used to counter radar guided weapons . It operates by manipulating the radar signals transmitted from such weapon systems and re - broadcasting them back to the sender in a convincing but highly deceptive manner . The intention is to trick the enemy air - defence system into aiming at an imaginary target which is located some miles distant from the aircraft fitted with the Dash 10 pod . Because enemy air defence systems appear to work normally whilst the Dash 10 pod is operating , the enemy personnel monitoring them do not realise that they are being deceived .
Troopship A troopship ( also troop ship or troop transport or trooper ) is a ship used to carry soldier s , either in peacetime or wartime . Operationally , troopships are normal ships , and unlike landing ship s , cannot land troops directly on shore , typically loading and unloading at a seaport or onto smaller vessels , either tenders or barges . History . Ships to transport troops were already used in Antiquity . Thus Ancient Rome used the navis lusoria , a small vessel powered by rowers and sail , to move soldiers on the Rhine and Danube . The modern troopship has as long a history as passenger ships do , as most maritime nations enlisted their support in military operations ( either by leasing the vessels or by impressing them into service ) when their normal naval forces were deemed insufficient for the task . In the 19th century , navies frequently chartered civilian ocean liners , and from the start of the 20th century painted them gray and armed them ; their speed , originally intended to minimize travel time , would prove valuable for outrunning submarine s and enemy surface cruisers . even managed to turn the tables , and rammed and sank a U - boat during one of its wartime crossings . Smaller or older liners with poorer performance were protected by operating in convoys . " Olympic " ' s sister ship RMS " Titanic " would have also been a troopship , had it never struck the iceberg which caused it to sink . Most major naval powers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries provided subsidies toward ensuring that they would have troopships available during times of war . The British government provided subsidies to both Cunard and the White Star Line toward the construction of liners , RMS " Aquitania " , , RMS " Britannic " . When the vulnerability of these ships to return fire was realized most were used instead as troopship or hospital ship s . The RMS " Queen Mary " and the RMS " Queen Elizabeth " were two of the most famous converted liners of World War II . When they were fully converted , each of them could carry well over 10 , 000 troops per trip . Designation . The designation HMT ( Hired Military Transport ) would normally replace RMS ( Royal Mail Ship ) or SS ( Steamship ) on ships converted to troopship duty with Great Britain ' s Royal Navy . The US did not use an alternate designation , using USS ( United States Ship ) as it does for any ship operated by its navy . Recent use . In the era of the Cold War the United States designed the SS " United States " so that it could easily be converted from a liner to a troopship , in case of war . More recently , RMS " Queen Elizabeth 2 " and the were requisitioned by the Royal Navy to carry British soldiers to the Falklands War . By the end of the twentieth century , nearly all long - distance transfers of soldiers were being done by air in military transport aircraft .
