Battle of Havana ( 1748 ) The Battle of Havana was an engagement between the British Caribbean squadron and a Spanish squadron based near Havana . The action unfolded with each side at once anxious to cover its own trade and to intercept that of the other . After a number of aborted attacks , the British succeeded in driving the Spanish back to their harbour after capturing the " Conquistador " and running the vice - admiral ' s ship " Africa " on shore where she was blown up by her own crew after being totally dismasted and made helpless . Both commanders , Charles Knowles and Don Andres Reggio , were reprimanded by their respective commands for their conduct during the engagement , in Knowles ' case for not bringing his full fleet to bear and achieving a total rout . Although the advantage clearly had been with Knowles , he failed to use this to deliver a decisive blow . It was the last major action in the War of Jenkin ' s Ear ( 1739 – 48 ) , which had merged with the larger War of the Austrian Succession ( 1740 – 48 ) . Ships involved .

7 . 5 cm FK 38 The 7 . 5 cm Feldkanone 38 ( 7 . 5 cm FK 38 ) was a field gun used by Germany and Brazil in World War II . Built by Krupp to satisfy an order by the Brazilian Army some 64 were delivered before the war began . In 1942 the remainder of the order was completed and 80 were delivered to the Heer . Design . The FK 38 had a longer barrel than the 7 . 5 cm FK 18 that was fitted with a cylindrical muzzle brake . Originally this was an unusual 6 slot design , but it was later replaced by a standard German four port design . Early versions had wood - spoked wheels , but later models had pressed steel wheels with solid rubber tires . It used a semi - automatic version of the original breech mechanism and fixed ammunition instead of the original separate - loading rounds . These changes likely boosted its rate of fire over the FK 18 considerably .
HMS Splendid ( S106 ) HMS " Splendid " was a Royal Navy nuclear - powered fleet submarine of the " Swiftsure " class . HMS " Splendid " was launched at Barrow on 5 October 1979 , by Lady Eberle , wife of Admiral Sir James Eberle , then Commander - in - Chief Fleet . The boat was built by Vickers Shipbuilding Groups and was under the command of Commander R C Lane - Nott . Since her launch in 1979 , she has taken part in many conflicts involving British forces around the globe . Her first major conflict came in 1982 when Argentinian forces invaded the British held Falkland Islands . " Splendid " was one of the first submarines to reach the islands , arriving mid April , after sailing from Faslane . Unlike HMS " Conqueror " , " Splendid " did not directly engage Argentinian forces , she did however provide valuable reconnaissance to the British Task Force on Argentine aircraft movements . " Splendid " s presence along with HMS " Conqueror " effectively restricted the freedom of action of the Argentine Navy which spent most of the war confined to port . In the late 1990s , " Splendid " became the first British ship to be armed with American - built Tomahawk cruise missile s . In 1999 the BBC were allowed on board to record her firing Tomahawks in battle against Yugoslav targets in Belgrade during the Kosovo War , becoming the first British submarine in the conflict to do so . She again fired these weapons against Iraqi targets in the 2003 invasion of Iraq . In July 2003 , HMS " Splendid " returned to her home at Faslane Naval Base on the River Clyde in Scotland . She was decommissioned in HMNB Devonport , Plymouth in 2004 due to defence cuts . Commander Burke was later awarded the OBE for his leadership of HMS " Splendid " in the Gulf . Involvement with the sinking of the " Kursk " . HMS " Splendid " was present , along with the US Navy submarines the USS " Memphis " and the USS " Toledo " at the Russian war games during which the Russian submarine " Kursk " exploded and sank , resulting in the loss of that submarine and all 118 sailors and officers on board . Despite the conclusions of independent forensic inquiries and the eventual corroborating admission by the Russian Navy that the explosion was triggered by a faulty torpedo onboard the " Kursk " , various conspiracy theories posit that " Kursk " was actually sunk by one of the US or British submarines . This may partly stem from the Russian Navy ' s initial attempts to shunt away criticism of its failed efforts to rescue the surviving crew members from the ocean floor and of the generally poor condition of its own equipment , which was eventually found to be the cause of both the sinking and the failure of the Russian rescue attempts . In the days immediately after the explosion , Russia suggested that the cause of the disaster was a collision with one of the US or British submarines present . Though the accusation proved to be unfounded , conspiracy theorists have inevitably picked up on and elaborated it in various directions over time .

Unión Militar Española Unión Militar Española ( Spanish Military Union ) was a pro - fascist secret society of officers of the Spanish Republican Armed Forces involved in a conspiracy to bring about the restoration of the monarchy during the 1930s . Members of this organization became part of the nationalist forces during the Spanish Civil War . Formation . This clandestine group was founded in late 1933 by Colonel Emilio Rodríguez Tarduchy and soon linked up with the conspiracies of Juan Antonio Ansaldo . Tarduchy , who had been a partisan for the Falange under Miguel Primo de Rivera , was seen as too sectarian and soon replaced by Captain Bartolomé Barba Hernández . The group soon established cells within many garrisons , although its influence was somewhat limited as it only really attracted younger , lower - ranked officers . Conspiracies . It was late summer 1935 before Francisco Franco made direct contact with the group through his ally and UME member Valentín Galarza Morante and made them part of his own plans . Franco would later claim that the main reason for the contact was so as he could ensure that the officers did not launch a premature coup themselves . By early 1936 the UME had placed itself at the disposal of Emilio Mola and was a full participant in nationalist coup plans . Its membership was now estimated at almost half of all serving officers and included many who held dual membership with the Falange . Involvement in the Civil War . The group was closely associated with fascism and maintained a list of leading republican officers to be assassinated and in the build up to the war the top two names , Carlos Faraudo and José del Castillo , were both killed . The murders , and the reprisal killing of José Calvo Sotelo , were instrumental in bringing about the war itself . The group disappeared after the war .
