Garci Lasso de la Vega I Garci Lasso de la Vega I , also known as " el Viejo " ( d . 1326 , Soria ) was a Spanish noble in the service of King Alfonso XI of Castile . He was the chancellor of the Kingdom of Castile , an adelantado of the King . He later became the chief justice of the King and gained vast properties in Asturias de Santillana and feudal land tenures and vassal towns in more than fifteen areas throughout Castile . He went to Soria in 1326 to recruit allies against " infante " Don Juan Manuel who had been consistently violating the King ' s territories . The Spanish nobles of Soria assaulted him with crossbows , driving Juan Manuel to seek cover at the Convent of San Francisco where he was eventually killed . Alfonso XI punished all those responsible , ordering their execution . Possible ancestry . According to Luis de Salazar y Castro , the origin of the " de la Vega " lineage could be Diego Gómez , son of count Gómez González de Manzanedo and countess Milia Pérez de Lara . Roy Díaz de la Vega , a son of Diego Gómez , sold a property in Valdeguña in 1229 declaring that he was the son of Diego Gómez . Nevertheless , the medievalist Carlos Estepa Díez believes that there were other contemporary members of this lineage who used the toponymic " de la Vega " and there is no sufficient evidence that this was a branch of the Manzanedo family even though both families intermarried . The first one to add " Lasso " , most likely derived from medieval Castilian , meaning " tired " or " fatiged " , to the toponymic was Pedro Lasso de la Vega , appointed admiral by Alfonso X of Castile in 1278 . Marriage and Descendants . A significant document dated the 9 March 1338 , provides a detailed description of the many properties and assets of Garci Lasso de la Vega , and includes his marriages and descendants .

According to this document , he married twice and had the following succession : With Juana de Castañeda , his first wife : His second marriage was with Teresa de Sotomayor , daughter of Ruy Páez de Sotomayor ( died in 1289 ) , a magnate from Galicia , and Elvira López . Teresa was a widow of Pedro Ruiz Manrique , fourth lord of Amusco .
RML 12 . 5 inch 38 ton gun The RML 12 . 5 inch guns were large rifled muzzle - loading guns designed for British battleships and were also employed for coast defence . Design . The gun originated from a desire for a longer 12 - inch gun than the existing RML 12 inch 35 ton gun . Experiments in 1874 with both 12 - inch and 12 . 5 - inch versions 3 feet longer than the existing 12 - inch gun showed the 12 . 5 inch calibre was more suitable , and further experiments showed a projectile of 800 pounds could be fired with a charge of 130 pounds of P2 gunpowder without undue strain . The same construction as in the existing 12 - inch 35 - ton gun was used : a mild steel " A " tube toughened in oil , surrounded by wrought iron " B " tube , triple coil in front of the trunnion , coiled breech - piece and breech coil . This was approved in January 1875 . The gun was rifled on the " Woolwich " pattern of a small number of broad shallow rounded grooves , with 9 grooves increasing from 0 to 1 turn in 35 calibres ( i . e . 1 turn in 437 . 5 inches ) . Mark II had an enlarged powder chamber and attained higher muzzle velocity and slightly longer range . This gun was the final development of large British rifled muzzle - loading guns before it switched to breechloader s beginning in 1880 . It was succeeded in its class on new battleships by the BL 12 - inch Mk II gun . < br style = " clear : left ; " > Naval service . Guns were mounted on HMS " Dreadnought " commissioned in 1879 , HMS " Agamemnon " commissioned in 1883 , and HMS " Ajax " commissioned in 1885 , the last British warships completed with muzzle - loading guns .

Saga Castle History . The location of Saga Castle was originally a fortified village under the control of the Ryūzōji clan , warlords of a small area of northern Kyūshū in the Muromachi period . After Ryūzōji Takanobu was defeated by a coalition of Shimazu and Arima forces in 1584 , his retainer Nabeshima Naoshige gained control of the castle . Naoshige allied the clan with Toyotomi Hideyoshi and gained personal distinction during the Japanese invasions of Korea , during which time he befriended noted castle architect Katō Kiyomasa and future Shōgun Tokugawa Ieyasu . Following the Battle of Sekigahara , the Nabeshima clan was confirmed in its holdings in Hizen province , and Naoshige ’ s son , Nabeshima Katsushige became 1st " daimyō " of Saga Domain . Naoshige began work on rebuilding the castle with the approval of the Tokugawa Shogunate beginning in 1602 , with the work completed under Katsushige by 1611 . The original structure included a five - storey donjon surrounded by a system of 80 - metre wide moat s . Unusually , the moats are not surmounted by stone walls , but by earthen ramparts tall enough to conceal the inner fortifications . These ramparts were also planted with pine and camphor trees for additional concealment , which lent the castle its nickname . A fire in 1726 destroyed most of the castle structures , including the donjon . The palace portion was restored two years later in the outer bailey , which was the centre of the Saga domain government for most of the Edo period . Another fire occurred in 1835 , after which the buildings were reconstructed by Saga domain ’ s final " daimyō " Nabeshima Naomasa . After the Meiji Restoration , the castle remained the location for the local government offices . However , the castle was occupied in 1874 by former politician Gotō Shimpei and his following of disgruntled " samurai " in the Saga Rebellion . The rebels were defeated by military force , during which most of the buildings in the castle were burned down . Since 1874 , the castle grounds have been used as the site for a court building and a prefectural office , and in 1883 it became a junior school . The buildings were eventually replaced by modern school buildings . In 1953 , one of the surviving gates of the castle was proclaimed a Saga Prefectural Important Cultural Property ( PICP ) . It gained national protection ( ICP ) in 1957 . From 2001 to 2004 the main portion of the castle was restored . It is now houses the Saga Castle History Museum and is the largest wooden castle reconstruction in Japan . In 2006 , Saga Castle was listed as one of the 100 Fine Castles of Japan by the Japan Castle Foundation . Saga Castle is also the castle where Yamamoto Tsunetomo , the orator of " Hagakure , " worked .
Kuwaiti Navy The Kuwaiti navy , or Kuwait Naval Force ( Arabic : القوة البحرية الكويتية ) , is the sea - based component of the Military of Kuwait . The headquarters and sole naval base is Ras al - Qulayah Naval Base , located in the south of Kuwait , approximately 35 miles ( 56 km ) south of Kuwait City . The Kuwait Naval Force numbers consists of over 2 , 700 officers and enlisted personnel , including approximately 500 coast guard . History . Kuwait ' s Navy was established in 1961 shortly after Britain ended the country ' s protectorate status and Kuwait became fully independent . During the Invasion of Kuwait , part of the Persian Gulf War , Kuwait ' s navy was almost completely destroyed . At the start of Iraq ' s invasion of Kuwait , Iraqi forces captured 6 Kuwait missile boats armed with Exocet missiles and Kuwait lost 17 ships of other classes during the war . The capture of the Exocets raised fears that Iraq might use them against coalition forces during the Gulf War . Iraq did not use them and the captured vessels were all heavily damaged or sunk by coalition forces . During the war , the two Lürssen ' s that evaded Iraqi capture helped retake Kuwaiti coastal islands and oil platforms . On 11 November 2008 , Kuwait Naval Base was the location of the historic signing of the non - legally binding maritime Khawr Abd Allah Protocols otherwise known as the KAA Protocols . The signing of the KAA Protocols by the then respective heads of the Kuwaiti Naval Force and the Iraqi Navy was the first formal and successful maritime bilateral military agreement for the co - ordinated and de - conflicted use of the Khawr Abd Allah waterway since before the 1991 Persian Gulf War . The protocols were developed and mediated by Major David Hammond RM , a British Royal Navy barrister in 2008 and they were subsequently ratified by both the Kuwaiti and Iraqi governments before the 11 November 2008 signing . They were subsequently reported to the US Congress within the December 2008 ' Measuring Stability and Security in Iraq ' report and the text of which have since become open source following leaks in US diplomatic notes . Present fleet . Personnel year 2008 : 2 , 700 ( includes 500 coast guard ) Future ships . Landing craft order , the programme for Kuwait involves the supply of two 64m landing craft , one 42m landing craft and five 16m composite landing craft .
