Naval Undersea Warfare Center The Naval Undersea Warfare Center ( NUWC ) is the United States Navy ' s full - spectrum research , development , test and evaluation , engineering and fleet support center for submarine s , autonomous underwater systems , and offensive and defensive weapons systems associated with undersea warfare . One of the corporate laboratories of the Naval Sea Systems Command , NUWC is headquartered in Newport , Rhode Island , and has two major subordinate activities — Division Newport and Division Keyport ( in Keyport , Washington ) . NUWC also controls the Fox Island Facility and Gould Island . NUWC employs more than 4 , 400 civilian and military personnel , with budget s of over US $ 1 billion . History . In 1869 the U . S . Naval Torpedo Station was founded in Newport on Goat Island , the site of a military fort since 1703 . During the 1890s Charles Munroe and John Bernadou worked at Newport patenting a formulation of nitrocellulose colloid ed with ether and alcohol used as smokeless powder for United States naval artillery through the World Wars . The United States Army adopted the Navy formulation in 1908 and began manufacture at Picatinny Arsenal . A factory was built in 1907 to manufacture steam torpedoes for the United States Navy . The torpedo factory became a major employer in the Newport area as Rhode Island congressmen protected the factory from competition . The Torpedo Station designed the Mark VI magnetic influence fuze for torpedoes during the 1920s . Fuze design and production was undertaken in great secrecy for the newly designed Mark 14 torpedo . Economies of the Great Depression limited torpedo production and prevented adequate testing of either the Mark 14 torpedo or the new Mark VI fuze . Skilled craftsmen at the torpedo factory unknowingly produced a nonfunctional design . Newport ' s torpedo factory was unable to produce enough torpedoes to match combat use through the first year of World War II , and was reluctant to use scarce torpedoes in tests . Newport Torpedo Station ' s unjustified confidence in their precision - crafted torpedoes delayed recognition of problems being reported by submarines using the torpedoes in combat . Testing which might have been efficiently completed at the Torpedo Station was less effectively undertaken by operational submarines . Acknowledgement of inaccurate depth settings was delayed until August 1942 , and recognition of Mark VI fuze malfunctions was delayed until June 1943 . The Naval Torpedo Station researched and tested underwater weaponry through World War I and World War II creating additional facilities on Rose Island , Fox Island and Gould Island . In 1951 the station on Goat Island was reorganized : For the next 15 years , it was the Underwater Ordnance Station , and then the Underwater Weapons Research and Engineering Station until 1970 . That year , the Underwater Sound Lab from New London , Conn . , was combined with the Newport facility to form the Naval Underwater Systems Center or NUSC . In 1992 , the command was reorganized as the Naval Undersea Warfare Center , Division Newport .

Battle of Brustem The Battle of Brustem was fought on 28 October 1467 in Brustem , near Sint - Truiden ( present - day Belgium ) between the Duchy of Burgundy and the Prince - Bishopric of Liège , as part of the Second Liège War . Prelude . In 1465 , the First Liège War against the by Philip the Good newly appointed Prince - Bishop Louis de Bourbon , had been won by Philip . This had led to the humiliating Peace of Sint - Truiden . When Philip died in 1467 , the people from Liège raised again against the hated Prince - Bishop , who fled the city . Liège counted on the promised military support from King Louis XI of France , also at war with the new Burgundian Duke Charles the Bold . Charles gathered an army of some 25 . 000 professional soldiers in Leuven and moved on Liège . Louis XI did nothing . The Battle . The army of Liège was composed of 12 . 000 civilians and 500 cavalry . They were commanded by Raes van Heers , his wife Pentecote d ' Arkel and Jean de Wilde , lord of Kessenich . Raes positioned his troops in the marshy area between Brustem , Sint - Truiden and Ordingen to do battle . In this way he tried to diminish the effect of the Burgundian artillery . Charles came from the direction of Sint - Truiden , where he left a few thousand men behind , including 500 English archers , to prevent an intervention of the city ' s garrison . On 28 October , Charles ordered his vanguard under Adolph of Cleves , Lord of Ravenstein to attack . Raes commanded his troops to hold position and wait for the arrival of reinforcements , but the militia from Tongeren counter - attacked nevertheless , and drove back the troops of Ravenstein , killing a considerable number of archers . < br > But this was what Charles had been prepared for . His second line was armed with long two - handed swords , ideal for close combat . The Liège militia was quickly stopped in their advance and pushed back , in what soon became a rout . Raes van Heers and the French envoy François Royer , Baillif of Lyon , were amongst the first to flee the battlefield . The Burgundians killed everybody that fell into their hands . Liège suffered some 4 , 000 casualties and the rest of the army was only saved by the evening darkness . Aftermath . After the battle , Charles moved on Liège and forced the city to surrender on 12 November . < br > The Prince - Bishopric became a Burgundian protectorate under Guy of Humbercourt and all cities in the County of Loon were forced to remove their defences .

Type 92 machine gun The was developed for aerial use for the Imperial Japanese Navy before World War II . It was the standard hand - held machine gun in multi - place IJN aircraft during the most part of the Pacific War . It proved to be seriously inadequate . Aircraft produced in the later part of the conflict often were eqipped with weapons such as Type 1 and Type 2 machine guns or Type 99 cannon . Essentially a copy of the Lewis gun , the Type 92 was fed with a drum magazine and used in a flexible mount . The main external difference between the two models was the latter ' s lack of casing , the trigger guard , and cooling fins around the barrel and gas piston tube .

Blackboy Hill , Western Australia Blackboy Hill , was named after the Xanthorrhoea preissii , which dominated the site and is now absorbed into Greenmount , Western Australia . Originally comprising a military camp , the facilities and adjacent structures were on the hill that is now utilised by St Anthony ' s Primary School and Church , and Greenmount Primary School . The remaining land that has been left as a memorial to the troops who left the training camp is known as the Blackboy Hill Commemorative Site on official documents and maps , but local signage usage tends to refer to the location simply as " Blackboy Hill " . First World War . During the troop build up for the First World War , the site was a military training camp used to house large numbers of Australian Imperial Force ( AIF ) troops before they left for the various battlefront locations in Europe and the Middle East . Facilities were moved from other parts of the metropolitan area to improve facilities which were quite basic . Troops were transported to the adjacent Helena Vale Railway station and marched across to the camp , so as to not interfere with the working of the Eastern Railway . Blackboy Hill Post Office opened on 29 August 1914 and closed on 30 November 1918 , defining the period of occupation of the site . An office of the same name was opened from 1929 until 1932 , when it was renamed Greenmount Hill . Around April 1919 , following the end of hostilities , the Imperial forces camp was turned over to the Health department to act as a fever hospital , treating Spanish Flu . In the 1930s unemployed relief workers utilised the camp area . During the Second World War , the site was also used extensively by the 2nd AIF and other Australian military forces . Railway Station . Blackboy Hill was a named railway stopping place between Bellevue and Swan View between the 1940s and 1960s . Blackboy Hill Commemorative Site . The commemorative site is a small 0 . 5 hectare site on the southern edge of the former camp site , adjacent to Innamincka Road , Greenmount Hill . It is bounded by a 1 . 5 hectare public park to separated it from the adjacent schools and residential area . In recent times , the main annual event at this site are the Anzac Day commemorations , which centre on a memorial named after the location . The Anzac memorial is on a segment of ground that is between the two primary schools . It is maintained by the Mundaring Council , and has a committee that oversees management of the site . The sunset service and the dawn service – as well as an all - night vigil – are maintained by the Bilgoman District of the Scout Association of Western Australia and the Returned and Services League of Australia . Most of the original larger site is now covered by housing development , but up until this began in the early 1990s , remnants of the army camp and many associated rubbish pits were visible .
