Orlando - class cruiser The " Orlando " - class was a seven ship class of Royal Navy armoured cruisers completed between 1888 and 1889 . Building Programme . On 2 December 1884 , the Secretary to the Admiralty stated , " The present Board have been gradually developing , and , as I would venture to say , in an effective manner , our resources for the protection of commerce . The late Board of Admiralty laid down an admirable type for the purpose in the " Leander " class . We have followed in their footsteps by producing the " Mersey " type , and we now propose to go a step further in the same direction , by laying down vessels of the " Mersey " class , but protected by a belt in lieu of an armoured deck . The belt will , I think , be approved by my hon . Friend who sits behind me ( Sir Edward J . Reed ) . " These belted cruisers were the " Orlando " class . The following table gives the build details and purchase cost of the members of the " Orlando " class . Standard British practice at that time was for these costs to exclude armament and stores . In the table :
T - 18 tank The T - 18 light tank ( also called MS - 1 , , ' First Small [ Vehicle for ] Support ' ) was the first Soviet - designed tank , produced in 1928 – 31 . It was based on the Renault FT - 17 , with the addition of a vertically sprung suspension . The tank was designed by Professor V . Zaslavsky at a new Tank Bureau set up under the Central Directorate of Military Industries . The thirty - five horsepower truck engine ( a copy of the Italian Fiat 15 ter ) was supplied by the Moscow AMO Factory , and the gun was a modified copy of the French 37 - mm Hotchkiss SA 18 . The sprung suspension which would allow a tank to travel faster over rough ground was the biggest improvement over the Renault . A prototype called the T - 16 was tested in June 1927 , and accepted for production in July with some improvements as the T - 18 . Production took place at the Leningrad Obukhov Factory ( later renamed Bolshevik Factory ) , starting in May 1928 . The first batch of 30 tanks were found to have serious technical problems . After several stops , production of an improved T - 18 with a better forty horsepower engine and added turret bustle proceeded from 1929 to 1931 , with a total of 960 tanks built . A number of experimental designs based on the T - 16 and T - 18 were tested at the Bolshevik Factory , leading to the T - 19 tank with a 90 hp engine in 1931 , and the T - 20 with a 60 hp engine . The new T2K Tank Design Bureau ( later renamed Morozov Design Bureau ) at the Kharkov Locomotive Factory used the T - 18 as the basis for the new T - 24 tank . An experimental company equipped with T - 18s took part in defending the Far Eastern Railway against Manchurian forces in 1929 . The T - 18 and its derivatives were essentially unsuccessful designs , but they gave Soviet industry its first experiences in designing armoured vehicles , and in the meantime a number of foreign tank designs were available for production .
French destroyer Maillé Brézé ( 1933 ) Maillé Brézé was a of the French Navy lost in an accidental explosion during World War II . On 30 April 1940 , at 14 : 15 , as " Maillé Brézé " was anchored at the Tail of the Bank off Greenock , a torpedo tube misfunctioned and launched an armed torpedo on the deck , setting fire to the fuel tanks and the forward magazine , which however did not explode . At 15 : 15 , the crew abandoned ship due to the danger of explosion , except for numerous sailors trapped in the mess hall . Around 16 : 30 , a few sailors returned to the ship to flood the aft magazine , and by 19 : 30 the fire was controlled by the Greenock firemen . By that time , " Maillé Brézé " was so low in the water that she began sinking before she could be towed , and she went down with those still trapped in the forward part . The accident killed 25 and wounded 48 . She was raised in 1954 and broken up by 1956 . The wreck currently visible opposite Greenock ( and thus not to be confused with the " Maillé Brézé " ) is that of the MV " Captayannis " which sank in 1974 . Memorials . The memorial to the Free French forces on the Lyle Hill in Greenock is often wrongly said to be for the " Maillé Brézé " but there is no mention of her or her crew at all either on or near it , the sinking having occurred before the Free French forces came into being a few months later . There is a somewhat more modest memorial to the lost crew of the " Maillé Brézé " at Brookwood Cemetery , Surrey , England .
Thomas Sharpe ( aviator ) Captain Thomas Sydney Sharpe was a World War I flying ace credited with six aerial victories . Sharpe joined the Royal Flying Corps and flew with 24 Squadron from May to July 1916 . Subsequently , in 1918 , he was appointed a flight commander in 73 Squadron . He destroyed a Fokker Dr . I triplane on 11 March 1918 , flying Sopwith Camel No . B5627 . He then used No . C1619 for the remainder of his victories ; he destroyed an Albatros D . V and two LVG reconnaissance planes on 22 March , and destroyed a pair of D . Vs two days later . Three days later , on 27 March , he was wounded in action and shot down . The identity of his probable conqueror is debatable . It has been credited to Hans Kirschstein , or to Manfred von Richthofen ; Sharpe himself credited enemy antiaircraft fire . References .

Naval Consolidated Brig , Charleston The Naval Consolidated Brig ( NAVCONBRIG CHASN ) , is a medium security U . S . military prison . The brig , Building # 3107 , is located in the south annex of Joint Base Charleston in the city of Hanahan , South Carolina . The Brig was commissioned on November 30 , 1989 and accepted its first prisoners in January 1990 . It has 400 cells and can hold 288 inmates . It houses prisoners from all branches of the US Armed Services and conducts the Navy ’ s Violent Offender Treatment Program . It has been accredited by the American Correctional Association six times : 1992 , 1995 , 1998 , 2001 , 2004 and 2007 . The brig recently housed several enemy combatants , including Yasser Hamdi , José Padilla and Ali Saleh Kahlah al - Marri . Al - Marri was the last of the three to remain at the brig , being transferred to a civilian prison after he pled guilty in 2009 . In October 2008 91 pages of memos drafted in 2002 by officer at the Brig became public . The memos indicate that officers were concerned that the isolation and lack of stimuli were driving Hamdi , Padilla and Al - Marri insane . On October 12 , 2011 , the Charleston Post and Courier reported on memos from E . P . Giambastiani to Charles Stimson Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Detainee Affairs , requesting that Hamdy , Padilla and al Marri be transferred to Guantanamo . The memos were from 2005 . Giambastiani ' s request was declined . The memos were released to the Post and Courier in response to a Freedom of Information Act request , filed eight years previously , for information about changes to the role of the prison triggered by al Qaeda ' s attacks on September 11 , 2001 . They wrote that when the DoD ' s response was finally received , " " A Pentagon official apologized but gave no explanation for the long delay . " "

Chropei Chropei , also spelled as Chropi ( ΧΡΩΠΕΙ - Χρωματουργία Πειραιώς , Piraeus Dye Works ) , was a historic Greek chemical company . It was founded in 1883 by chemists Spilios and Leontios Economides ( the former having been a co - worker of Adolf von Baeyer ) and has traditionally been a major synthetic dye and pharmaceuticals manufacturer . An important contributor to Greece ' s defence effort during World War II , it diversified , after 1950 , into several other chemical products . In 1975 it made a rather bold move , proposing two types of guns ( rifle and submachine gun ) to the Military of Greece . The guns had been developed by a team under Mr . Sotiris Sofianopoulos ( the origin of their basic structure is apparently connected with a Greek - Cypriot design ) , while existing company infrastructure had been improved to allow massive production . A relatively small number - a few more than 100 units - was produced while testing by the Hellenic Army was under way , initially indicating " positive " performance . According to the final test results , though , the guns did not meet the desired standards ( the designs indeed seemed outdated , but the decision was also probably connected with the creation of the state - owned EBO company ) and the produced stock ended up in Army storage facilities . Chropei was virtually bankrupt when it was nationalized in the 1980s with its name changed to ELVIPY ( ΕΛΒΙΠΥ - Ελληνική Βιομηχανία Προϊόντων Υγείας , Greek Health Products Company ) . After a few more years in a financial mess , it closed down altogether in 1995 . The company ' s ruined original buildings on Pireos Street are often cited as a testimony to Greece ' s neglect of a large part of its industrial history .
HMS Derwent ( 1903 ) HMS " Derwent " was a Hawthorn Leslie - type River - class destroyer ordered by the Royal Navy under the 1901 – 1902 Naval Estimates .
