Canon de 105 mle 1913 Schneider The Canon de 105 mle 1913 Schneider was a French artillery piece used in World War I and World War II by many European countries . History . In the early 1900s , the French company Schneider began a collaboration with the Russian company Putilov . For this collaboration , it had developed a gun using the Russian 107 mm round , which was ordered by the Russian Army to be produced in Russia ( though the initial batch of guns was made in France ) . Schneider then decided to modify the design for the French 105 mm ( 4 . 134 inches ) round and offer it to France as well . Initially the French army were not interested in this weapon as they already had plenty of 75 mm field guns . However in 1913 the French army purchased a small number under the designation Canon de 105 mle 1913 Schneider ; it was also known by the service designation L 13 S . The lighter 75 mm guns were of limited use against trenches , so once the western front in World War I had settled down to trench warfare , the French army ordered large numbers of the L 13 S , which with its larger 15 . 74 kg ( 34 . 7 lb ) shell was more effective against fortified positions and a range of . After the end of World War I , France sold or gave many Schneider 105 mm guns to various other countries , including Belgium , Italy , Poland , and Yugoslavia . In Italy the 105 mm was re - designated the Canone da 105 / 28 and saw service until 1943 . Guns were also produced under license in Italy by Ansaldo . Poland also used new model of Schneider ' s gun with a split trail , called the wz . 29 ; both were in service at the beginning of WW II in 1939 . The German conquests of Poland , Belgium , France , and Yugoslavia during World War II gave them large numbers of captured 105 mm Schneider guns . 854 L 13 S ' s were in service in France and a large number were captured . Many of these were installed in the Atlantic Wall system of coastal defenses . Designations . Because the gun was used by a large number of countries , it had a large number of official designations .

Edward Collier ( pirate ) Edward Collier was an English buccaneer who served as Sir Henry Morgan ' s second - in - command throughout much of his expeditions against Spain during the mid - 17th century . In command of one of the ships which took part in Sir Henry Morgan ' s raid on Portobello in 1668 , he was given command of the 34 - gun " Oxford " with a commission as a pirate hunter before the end of the year and eventually captured Captain la Veven and his ship , the " Satisfaction " . Rejoining Morgan in his later raids on Maracaibo and Gibraltar , Venezuela , an explosion aboard his ship would kill many of the officers in the expedition before his ship was sunk . Reportedly despondent over the loss of his ship , Collier left the fleet and was allowed to take command of the " Satisfaction " spending the next 18 months off the Mexican coastline . Eventually he was persuaded to join Morgan as he was planning his raid on Panama September 1670 and appointed vice - admiral of the expedition . As the expedition was being prepared , Collier was ordered to sail with six ship to Venezuela to obtain provisions and other supply as well as to gather information from locals . Arriving at Rio de la Hacha , he captured the Spanish stronghold and reportedly tortured his captives to reveal where the city ' s 200 , 000 pesos was located . However , many of the prisoners died in captivity without revealing the whereabouts of the city ' s treasury and , after demanding provisions from the local population , Collier left Rio de la Hacha and rejoined Morgan ' s fleet in early December . At the time of their arrival at Panama in January 1671 , Collier successfully led the left wing of the assault to capture the town . Proceeding to loot the town , Collier ( or one of the pirates under his command ) murdered a Franciscan friar before their return to Port Royal . The raid on Panama led to the arrest of Morgan after their arrival in Port Royal . Morgan was later released , and neither Collier nor anyone else seemed to be subject to arrest by colonial authorities . He later became a wealthy gentleman farmer retiring to his plantation in Jamaica , presented to him in 1668 . He would spent his later years preparing defenses against a possible foreign invasion against Jamaica until his death .

HMS Yarmouth ( F101 ) HMS " Yarmouth " was the first modified Type 12 frigate of the " Rothesay " class to enter service with the Royal Navy . From her commissioning in 1960 , she performed in numerous roles , including the Third Cod War and the Falklands War . Service history . On 13 July 1965 , " Yarmouth " collided with the submarine " Tiptoe " , 10 miles South East of Portland Bill . " Tiptoe " survived , but had to be repaired at the yards of Cammell Laird . In May 1966 she began a long refit and modernisation at Portsmouth Dockyard . The main alterations were to build a hangar and flight deck for a Wasp Helicopter and to fit Seacat anti - aircraft missiles . She re - commissioned on 1 October 1968 for service in the Western Fleet and then in the Far East Fleet . In 1971 she was present at Portsmouth Navy Days . In April 1970 whilst on the Beira Patrol she was diverted to be a long stop for the rescue of Apollo 13 . Communications in the Indian Ocean were very poor . The recovery instructions were sent from Houston to Halifax , Nova Scotia where the Royal Canadian Navy sent them by morse code to the ship . Recovery manual was taken down by communications ratings , two at a time , in pencil and paper . Luckily the space craft came down amongst a US Navy task force with two aircraft carriers and television cameras in the Pacific Ocean . Falklands War . She carried out a variety of tasks including shore bombardment , anti - submarine patrols , covert operations and escorting merchant ships to and from the landing area . On the early hours of 23 May 1982 , along with , she intercepted and shelled the Argentine coaster " Monsunen " west of Lively Island ; the coaster evaded capture by running aground at Seal Cove . After the San Carlos Landings ( Operation Sutton ) she provided air defence during the Battle of San Carlos for the landing ships in San Carlos Water . On 25 May she shot down an A4C Skyhawk ( C - 319 ) , flown by Teniente Tomás Lucero , with her Sea Cat missile system . Lucero ejected and was recovered by .

South African Ordnance Corps Between the two world wars , the supply and maintenance of all technical stores and equipment , including ammunition and guns , for the Union Defence Force , was the responsibility of the South African Ordnance Corps . The corps was established on 1 February 1923 . It included three Permanent Force ordnance depots and three Active Citizen Force supply companies . Reorganisation was in progress when the World War II broke out . In November 1939 the SA Ordnance Corps , the SA Service Corps and the SA Administrative , Pay and Clerical Corps were replaced by the Technical Services Corps and the ' Q ' Services Corps . The ' Q ' Services Corps expanded out of all recognition during the war . It was renamed ' Administrative Services Corps ' in 1949 , and disbanded in 1975 . One of its successors is the present Ordnance Services Corps . The Technical Services Corps , initially referred to as ' T ' Services , acquired responsibility for all technical equipment , from rifles to the heaviest weapons , and for maintenance of vehicles , tanks , guns , etc . Badge . The badge was based on that of the British Board of Ordnance . In 1683 the Board became a Civil Department of State , under a Master General . A shield bearing three field - guns in pale , and three cannon balls in chief was adopted as the Seal of the Board . From 1923 to 1933 , the SAOC badge was the Board of Ordnance shield above a scroll bearing the initials S . A . O . C . and S . A . K . D . ( Suid - Afrikaanse Krygsbehoeftediens ) . From 1933 onwards , the shield was surrounded by a wreath of protea flowers and leaves . The Board of Ordnance shield was later incorporated into that of the Administrative Service Corps which in turn resembled that of the Royal Logistics Corps .

Surface combatant Surface combatants ( or " Surface Ships " or " Surface Vessels " ) are a subset of naval warship s which are designed to engage in combat on the surface of the water , with their own weapons . They are generally ships built to fight other ships , submarines or aircraft , and can carry out several other missions including counter - narcotics operations and maritime interdiction . Their primary purpose is to engage space , air , surface and submerged targets with weapons deployed from the ship itself , rather than by manned carried craft . The term is primarily used to mean any modern vessel type that is not a submarine ; although a " surface ship " may range in size from a cutter to an aircraft carrier , the weapons and tactics have some commonality , more so than for submerged vessels . They look unusual and different from cruise and other ships . Surface ships include cruiser s , destroyer s , frigate s and corvette s , and several outdated types including battleship s and battlecruiser s . The category does not include aircraft carrier s , amphibious assault ship s , and mine hunter s , as these generally do not use on board weapons system ( i . e . aircraft carriers generally only attack with their aircraft , and mine hunters are not primarily combat vessels ) . However some warships combine aspects of the surface combatant and other roles , such as the Russia Admiral Kuznetsov class aircraft carrier , which carries both aircraft and an array of conventional armament ( the class is sometimes termed a " " heavy aircraft - carrying cruiser " " ) . Modern naval warfare is divided into three operational areas : anti - surface warfare ( ASUW ) , anti - air warfare ( AAW ) and anti - submarine warfare ( ASW ) . The current canonical combined arms naval task force or task group centers around a flagship hosting dedicated command elements to conduct tactical operations within each of these areas . In smaller surface action groups ( i . e . a single or a few task elements , such as a lone Aegis - equipped destroyer or cruisers on patrol ) , the same combatant commander may be responsible for managing all three areas as part of his duty in carrying out his vessel ' s mission , while larger formations such as a carrier strike group may have an individual commander in charge of each separate warfare element . Western naval career advancement for unrestricted line officer s also follow this model : a career line officer in a command - oriented track will specialize , train , and be billeted into distinct surface , naval aviation , or subsurface warfare posts . Missions . In the United States Navy there are two divisions of surface combatant missions :
Battle of Canturino The Battle of Canturino ( 22 April 1363 ) was a clash of two condottiere companies , the long - established Great Company under Konrad von Landau and the newer White Company under Albert Sterz and John Hawkwood . The battle . The exact details of the battle are unknown . The men - at - arms of both sides are said to have dismounted to fight . The battle was swayed by two events . The Hungarians in the Great Company refused to fight their fellow countrymen in the White Company and left the field , leaving the Great Company at a disadvantage . Shortly after this , Konrad von Landau was hit in the face by a rock which broke the nosepiece of his helmet , partly incapacitating him . The loss of their leader and part of their army undermined the Great Company and they fled . Konrad von Landau was captured alive but he had been further wounded in the melee and died shortly afterwards . Aftermath . The Battle of Canturino led to a truce but had no other significant result other than the death of Landau . It was , however , the first field action fought by the White Company and the beginning of their rise to prominence . In July 1363 , after a bidding war for its services between Pisa and Florence , the company entered Pisan employ .
Self - propelled gun A self - propelled gun ( SPG ) is a form of self - propelled artillery , and in modern use is usually used to refer to artillery pieces such as howitzer s . Self - propelled guns are mounted on a motorized wheeled or tracked chassis . As such the gun can be maneuvered under its own power as opposed to a towed gun that relies upon a vehicle or other means to be moved on the battlefield . Self - propelled guns are combat support weapons ; they are employed by combat support units fighting in support of , or attached to , the main combat units : infantry and armour . Self - propelled guns are best at providing indirect fire but can give direct fire when needed . It may be armoured , in which case it is considered an armoured fighting vehicle ( AFV ) . Typically , self - propelled guns are more lightly armoured and may not have turret s and their purpose is distinct from that of tank s . The greatest tactical advantage in the case of artillery guns is clearly the greater degree of mobility they have compared to towed artillery . Not only is it important in offering military forces greater flexibility , but it is critical in avoiding attack from the enemy ( counter - battery fire ) by allowing the guns to change position immediately after firing one or more salvos and before their position can be located ( " shoot - and - scoot " tactics ) . A secondary advantage in the case of armoured – even lightly – guns is the increased protection offered to the gun crews . History . The first attempts to give artillery a greater degree of maneuverability was in World War I . Although mechanical tractors had been used to tow some artillery , most were still towed by horses . The Gun Carrier Mark I was an artillery piece that was transported by and could be fired from a tracked chassis . Between the wars , in the development of their armoured warfare tactics , the British put the Birch Gun into limited use . It carried an 18 pounder gun on a chassis derived from their then medium tank and as such was able to keep up and cross the same ground as the tanks it was intended to support . As well as use as a field gun , the gun could be elevated sufficiently for use against aircraft . Self - propelled guns and howitzers . Self - propelled guns and howitzer s are used in the same way as their towed variety , generally for long - range bombardment . Self - propelled artillery can however also include other types of weapons not considered a " self - propelled gun " , one example of which would be rocket artillery . Assault guns . Assault guns are large - caliber artillery pieces , meant to support infantry by direct fire with high explosive ammunition . Examples . see " List of Self - propelled howitzers "
SS Cap Polonio The steam ship Cap Polonio was a German transatlantic ocean liner of the early 20th century . She served briefly in World War I as the auxiliary cruiser SMS " Vineta " . Career . " Cap Polonio " was constructed in Hamburg by Blohm & Voss for the Hamburg - South America Line , she was launched in 1914 and named for Cabo Polonio in Uruguay . With the outbreak of war , she was requisitioned by the Imperial German Navy with the prior agreement of the owners for conversion as an auxiliary cruiser . Essential civilian work was completed and she was armed with four 150mm and four 88mm quick - firing guns . In February 1915 this work was completed and on 6 February 1915 she was commissioned as SMS " Vineta " . However , trials were unsatisfactory ; She was expected to achieve a top speed of 17 knots , but was unable to reach this . Also by this time the first phase of the war on commerce was over ; the fast passenger liners taken up by the IGN had proved impractical in light of their prodigious need for coal while operating . With a coal consumption of 250 tons per day her maximum endurance at sea was less than three weeks , while even her forecast speed was less than many British warships , In light of this " Vineta " was handed back to her owners . As " Cap Polonio " she remained blockaded at Hamburg and at the end of the war was seized by the Allies as war reparations . She was transferred to the British Union Castle Line for service to South Africa . In this role she also unsatisfactory , as her engines were found to be deficient . After passing though a number of owners , " Cap Polonio " was scrapped in 1935 .
