The Gvozdansko Castle was probably built in the second half of the 15th century , due to mining rights of Croatian Zrinski noble family . The castle was first mentioned in 1488 .

Isuzu - class destroyer escort The " Isuzu " class destroyer escort was a destroyer escort ( or frigate ) class built for the Japan Maritime Self - Defense Force ( JMSDF ) in the early 1960s . The latter batch ( " Kitakami " and " Ōi " ) were quite different from the earlier two vessels in their propulsion and weaponry , so sometimes they were classified as the " " Kitakami " - class " . This class was the first JMSDF surface combatant adopted shelter - deck design . Propulsion systems varied in each vessels because the JMSDF tried to find the best way in the propulsion systems of future DEs . The design concept of this class and the CODAD propulsion system of the " Kitakami " - class became prototype of them of the latter DEs and DDKs such as and . The gun system was a scale - down version of the , four 3 " / 50 caliber Mark 22 guns with two Mark 33 dual mounts controlled by a Mark 63 GFCS . Main air - search radar was a OPS - 2 , Japanese variant of the American AN / SPS - 12 . In the earlier batch , the main Anti - submarine armament was a Mk . 108 Weapon Alpha . The JMSDF desired this American brand - new ASW rocket launcher earnestly , but then , it became clear that it was not as good as it was supposed to be . So in the latter batch , it was changed with a , Swedish 375mm quadruple ASW rocket launcher . And later , Weapon Alpha of the earlier batch was also replaced by a Type 71 , Japanese version of the M / 50 .

Greenock Blitz The Greenock Blitz is the name given to two nights of intensive bombing of the town of Greenock , Scotland during the Second World War when the Nazi German Luftwaffe attacked in May 1941 . The raids targeted the many ships and shipyards around the town but like the Clydebank Blitz the previous March the brunt of the bombing was taken by civilians . Over the two nights 280 people were killed and over 1 , 200 injured . From a total of 18 , 000 homes nearly 10 , 000 suffered damage and 1 , 000 were destroyed outright . An Air Ministry ' decoy ' behind Loch Thom prevented the number of casualties being even higher . The decoy was lit on the second night of the blitz . It consisted of a large number of mounds of combustible materials scattered over a wide area of the moorland to simulate a burning urban area . Scores of large bomb craters were found after an inspection of the decoy after the air raids . The Blitz began around midnight on 6 May when around fifty bomber s attacked the town in an apparently random fashion . Bombs fell all over the town and surrounding area : serious damage being inflicted on East Crawford Street and Belville Street . Many civilians fled to the tunnels in the east end of the town , significantly reducing casualties the next night . Air raid sirens at 12 : 15am on 7 May marked the beginning of a second night of bombing . Initially , incendiary bomb s were dropped around the perimeter of the town . The second wave attacked primarily the east end and centre of Greenock ; the distillery in Ingleston Street had been set alight in the first wave , providing a huge fire which acted as a beacon for the rest of the bomber force . The final wave came around 2am ; dropping high explosive bombs and parachute land mine s which caused widespread destruction . At 3 : 30am the " All Clear " sounded ; the whole of the town appeared to be in flames . The sugar refineries , distillery and foundries were all extensively damaged , and several churches were left as burnt out shells . However damage to the shipyards was minimal . The George Medal was awarded to three local firemen : Firemaster A . S . Pratten , Sub - Station Officer William Neill and Fireman James Berry who entered a burning building and at great personal risk managed to control a blaze which threatened to destroy a quantity of material essential to the war effort .

No . 521 Squadron RAF No . 521 Squadron of the Royal Air Force was a Second World War meteorological observation unit operating from Norfolk . History . First formation . The Squadron began on 4 February 1941 as No . 401 ( Met ) Flight of RAF Bomber Command . When all the meteorological flights were put under RAF Coastal Command it became No . 1401 ( Met ) Flight . On 1 August 1942 at RAF Bircham Newton the flight combined with 1403 flight to form No . 521 ( met ) Squadron .

From 1403 flight came its Bristol Blenheim s and Lockheed Hudson s . Later the squadron received some Supermarine Spitfire s and de Havilland Mosquito s . The operations of the original Flights and later the Squadron was taking meteorological information for weather forecasting – previously provided by merchant shipping to the Met Office . The aircraft would take measurements of temperature and humidity in set areas over the North Sea from an altitude of 40 , 000 ft downwards . The squadrons Mosquitos would operate on " PAMPA " flights that took them deep into occupied Europe to assess the weather over target areas for the bombers . On 31 March 1943 at Bircham Newton the squadron was split into nos . 1401 and 1409 ( Met ) Flight s . Second formation . The squadron reformed on 1 September 1943 at RAF Docking , a satellite of the Bircham Newton station , adding to its original equipment Handley Page Hampden s , but doing without the earlier Mosquitos and Blenheims . In December 1943 the squadron received Lockheed Ventura s to replace its Hudsons . Additional Hurricanes arrived in August 1944 , to supplement the aging Gladiators , which were still on strength . Hudsons arrived again in September 1944 , because the Venturas were needed elsewhere . In October 1944 the squadron moved a few miles to the other satellite of Bircham Newton , RAF Langham . For long - range missions the squadron received some Boeing Fortress es in December 1944 , which were supplemented after the end of the war with Handley Page Halifax es , by which time the squadron operated from RAF Chivenor , where the unit disbanded on 1 April 1946 .

2012 US - Israel military exercise The 2012 US - Israel military defense drill , codenamed " Austere Challenge 12 " , was a military exercise between the United States , Israeli military , Germany and U . K . , that took place in late October 2012 . The joint exercises were expected to test Israeli and American air defense systems , particularly Israel ' s ballistic missile defense against incoming missiles and rockets . A EUCOM commander would be responsible for approving Israeli requests to deploy US missile defense systems in Israel . Senior American and Israeli defense officials discussed the possibility of postponing the exercise to late 2012 . On January 13 , 2012 , it was postponed to October . Capt . John Ross , spokesman for the United States European Command , said " It is not unusual for such exercises to be postponed , and leaders of both sides believe that the best participation of all units will be best achieved later in the year . " Israeli military officials said the U . S government requested to delay the drill so as " not to heighten tensions " with Iran . Security officials have also said the decision was partially related to budgetary concerns . A day prior to the cancellation , senior IAF officers said the drill was scheduled for Spring . The exercise is also expected to be the first time the EUCOM commander James Stavridis will participate in a multilateral drill with Israel . Israel ' s foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman said " diplomatic and regional reasons , the tensions and instability " were factors in delaying the exercise . Mark Regev , the spokesman for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel and the United States made the decision to delay the exercise " because it was not the right time . ” Although a report in August alleged that the number of troops involved was being reduced from 5 , 000 to about 1 , 000 , in order to reduce the perception that the exercise was a cover for an attack on Iran , it was later reported that the size of the drill and the number of troops participating had not changed . Brigadier General Nitzan Nuriel , said that the matter was one " of logistics , " and that the number of troops had hardly changed .
