Battle of Bassignano The Battle of Bassignana was fought in the Italian campaign of the War of the Austrian Succession on September 27 , 1745 . It resulted in a victory for the combined armies of France and Spain over Austria and the Kingdom of Sardinia . The Bourbon armies , finally united after a two - year campaign , won through a maneuver that caused 25 , 000 Austrian troops to head towards Piacenza and leave their Sardinian allies isolated . The Sardinians were then overwhelmed and beaten . The Spanish forces along with a strong contingent of Genoese captured a series of towns : Tortona , Parma , Piacenza and threatened to take Milan . The Austrians moved to protect the capital of Lombardy leaving Victor Emmanuel , the king of Sardinia , unaided with his force of 55 , 000 . He was defeated by Gages at Bassignano who subsequently advanced the conquest of Lombardy against the advice of the French commanders who preferred the reduction of Piedmont . Gages took Casale and Milan on 16 December where the citadel held out against him . The cities of Lodi and Como soon surrendered and by the end of 1745 all of Lombardy , except for the fortress at Mantua and the citadel in Milan , were under the control of Spain and France . The Austrians were now unable to oppose the Spanish advance and support Piedmont to keep Victor Emmanuel in the war and the campaign had disastrous results for Maria Theresa . In order to reinforce Austrian armies in Italy peace with Prussia was a necessity and the Silesian war would have to be ended . As a result of the gains of the Spanish and French , Victor Emmanuel reopened negotiations with D ' Argenson for an understanding between France and Sardinia and possible treaty . With the end of the Second Silesian War , Austrian was able to send 30 , 000 soldiers into Italy under Count Maximilian Ulysses Browne and negotiations between France and Sardinia fell apart . The Battle of Piacenza in the following year turned back the French and the Spanish and erased the effects of Bassignano .
USS Golet ( SS - 361 ) USS " Golet " ( SS - 361 ) , a " Balao " - class submarine , was the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for the golet , a California trout . Her keel was laid down by the Manitowoc Shipbuilding Company of Manitowoc , Wisconsin . She was launched on 1 August 1943 sponsored by Mrs . Wiley , wife of United States Senator Alexander Wiley of Wisconsin , and commissioned on 30 November 1943 with Lieutenant Commander James M . Clement in command . " Golet " departed Manitowoc 19 December 1943 via the Mississippi River for New Orleans , Louisiana , arriving 28 December . After shakedown training at Panama and final battle practice in Hawaiian waters , she departed Pearl Harbor on 18 March 1944 for her maiden war patrol off the Kurile Islands chain , Southern Hokkaidō and Eastern Honshū , Japan . Severe combinations of fog , rain , and ice were encountered and only one ship worth a torpedo came into view . This enemy proved too fast for " Golet " to close to torpedo range ; she returned to Midway Island on 3 May 1944 . Lieutenant James S . Clark took command of " Golet " , departed Midway Island on 28 May 1944 to patrol off northern Honshū , Japan , and was never heard from again . " Golet " had been scheduled to depart her area on 5 July and was expected at Midway Island about 12 July or 13 July . She failed to acknowledge a message sent her on 9 July and was presumed lost 26 July 1944 . Japanese antisubmarine records available after the war revealed that " Golet " was the probable victim of a Japanese antisubmarine attack made 14 June 1944 . These records mention that the attack brought up corks , rafts , and other debris and a heavy pool of oil , all evidence of the sinking of a submarine . See also List of U . S . Navy losses in World War II .
United States Coast Guard Training Center Cape May United States Coast Guard Training Center Cape May is the home of the Coast Guard enlisted corps and is the Coast Guard ' s only enlisted accession point and recruit training center . It is located on 1 Munro Avenue , Cape May , New Jersey . History of the training center . Sewell Point , the area occupied by the Training Center , has a long history of naval presence . During the American Revolutionary War and throughout the nineteenth century , Cape May Sound was used as a harbor of refuge . In 1917 , the Navy established a " section base " in Cape May , to provide training , vessel support and communication facilities for coastal defense . Initially , the Navy converted an abandoned amusement center , built along the oceanfront , for military use . The old skating rink became the mess hall and sleeping quarters , the stage was made into a galley , the " human roulette wheel " — a scrub table and the " barrel of fun " became a brig . When the old wooden structure burned down in 1918 , the Navy built standard military facilities along the harbor front ( some of these buildings still stand ) . After World War I , the base was adapted to accommodate dirigibles . The largest hangar in the world , 700 feet long and over 100 feet tall , was built to accommodate an airship under construction in Britain . Unfortunately , the R38 ( ZR - 2 ) crashed on its test flight and " lighter - than - air " craft were never fully adopted for Navy use . In 1924 , the U . S . Coast Guard ( see History ) occupied the base and established air facilities for planes used in support of United States Customs Service efforts . During the Prohibition era , several cutters were assigned to Cape May to foil rumrunners operating off the New Jersey coast . After Prohibition , the Coast Guard all but abandoned Cape May leaving a small air / sea rescue contingent . For a short period of time ( 1929 – 1934 ) , part of the base was used as a civilian airport . With the advent of World War II , a larger airstrip was constructed and the Navy returned to train aircraft carrier pilots . The over the water approach simulated carrier landings at sea . The Coast Guard also increased its Cape May forces for coastal patrol , anti - submarine warfare , air / sea rescue and buoy service . In 1946 , the Navy relinquished the base to the Coast Guard . In 1948 , all entry level training on the east coast was moved to the U . S . Coast Guard Recruit Receiving Station in Cape May . The Coast Guard consolidated all recruit training functions in Cape May in 1982 . For over fifty years , Coast Guard Training Center Cape May has fulfilled its mission by building the enlisted corps . It provides seaman and fireman apprentices to the Coast Guard trained to be willing and ready to learn their profession . Although modern training facilities have replaced most of the original Naval Base buildings , the Coast Guard is respectful of the history of Sewell Point and their host city . Delaware Military Academy has their Basic Leadership Training at the center .

Western Fleet ( United Kingdom ) The British Western Fleet was a fleet level command in the Royal Navy . The Western Fleet was formed in 1967 from the historic Home Fleet , as a result of the disbandment of the Mediterranean Fleet . This created a fleet with greater responsibilities than either of its two predecessors , as it was responsible for the United Kingdom home waters , the North and South Atlantic , and the Mediterranean . The fleet was responsible for all Royal Navy operations “ West of Suez ” . One of the fleet commander ' s subordinates was Flag Officer Flotillas , Western Fleet , which Vice Admiral Andrew Lewis filled in 1968 - 69 .

Gabriel Auphan Gabriel Paul Auphan ( 4 November 1894 Alès - 16 April 1982 ) was a French admiral , chief of cabinet of Admiral Darlan under Vichy France and later Secrétaire d ' État à la marine of Vichy . Early career . A native of Alès , Gard , Auphan was a student at the " École navale " ; promoted to capitaine de vaisseau in 1936 , he had a career in the cabinets of the ministries Georges Leygues and François Pietri . In 1940 , he was in charge of the civilian shipping . Vichy regime . After the Fall of France and the rise of the Vichy regime , Auphan was made chief of Staff and the naval forces , in 1941 , and chief of cabinet of the Secrétaire d ' État à la marine François Darlan . Auphan was part of the anti - German trend of Vichy France . After the defection of Darlan , Auphan was himself made Secrétaire d ' État à la marine . After Operation Torch , when Admiral Laborde petitioned him with a project to retaliate against the Allies by sailing and attacking them , Auphan discouraged him . Auphan gave the general standing orders which led to the Scuttling of the French fleet in Toulon , to avoid capture by the Nazis . On 15 November 1942 , he tried to persuade Admiral de Laborde to set sail and bring the fleet to the Allies ; on Laborde ' s refusal , Auphan was facing the alternative of setting a coup d ' état , seize power and issue a formal order to Laborde , or of resigning . Auphan resigned on 18 November 1942 . The fleet was scuttled on the 27 November . In August 1944 , Marshal Pétain sent Auphan to offer Charles de Gaulle that Auphan should succeed Pétain at the head of the Vichy regime , which would thus be recognized as France ' s legitimate government . The proposal was turned down . Post - war . After the Liberation , during the " " Épuration légale " " in 1946 , he was tried and sentenced " in absentia " to a life - time of forced labour , " dégradation nationale " and confiscation of his property . He surrendered himself in 1955 , and was sentenced to 5 years of prison with probation , 5 years of dégradation nationale .
Fleet Satellite Communications System FLTSATCOM ( also FLTSAT ) was a satellite communication system of the U . S . Navy which was used for UHF radio communications between ships , submarines , airplanes and ground stations of the Navy . Most of the transponders on these satellites were simple repeaters with no authentication or control over what they retransmitted . This characteristic led to a subculture of radio pirates in Brazil using modified ham radio equipment to use the satellites without authorization . Altogether eight satellites were launched from 1978 to 1989 by Atlas - Centaur rockets into geostationary orbit . The system became operational in 1981 . The satellites were manufactured by TRW . The solar arrays of the satellites had a span of over 13 . 2 m . A special characteristic was an UHF transmit antenna reflector 4 . 9 m in diameter . The satellites had 12 transponders , which worked in the UHF range from 240 - 400 megahertz . Additionally FLTSATCOM 7 and 8 had an experimental EHF transponder built by Lincoln Laboratory intended to test the MILSTAR ground terminals . The first seven satellites had a launch mass of 1884 kg and the remaining two were 2310 kg , with the additional mass due to the EHF payload module . The fifth satellite reached geosynchronous orbit , but was unusable due to damage to the solar arrays and antennas . The failure was attributed to explosive delamination of the fiberglass honeycomb fairing during flight . The inside wall of the fairing extensively damaged one of the solar arrays , and bent the transmit antenna mast which prevented the antenna from deploying fully . Flight 7 was launched out of sequence after a launch failure of a Delta mission carrying the GOES - G weather satellite grounded the entire US launch fleet weeks prior to the scheduled launch of F - 6 . By the time the Delta mishap investigation concluded there was no risk to the Atlas - Centaur system , F - 7 was ready to launch and the system managers elected to swap missions to avoid delaying EHF system testing . Flight 6 was destroyed in one of the US space program ' s more notorious accidents . The Atlas - Centaur was launched on March 26 , 1987 into a pouring Florida thunderstorm . At about 30 seconds into the flight , the Atlas was struck by lightning and the resulting static discharge sent an erroneous signal to the guidance computer , causing it to pitch over and break apart from structural stress . The booster exploded and showered burning debris onto LC - 36B , which was barely visible through the heavy rain . As a result of this easily preventable disaster , NASA issued strict weather guidelines for all launches . In the late 1990s , FLTSATCOM satellites were gradually replaced by the UFO satellites . FLTSAT flights 7 and 8 continue to provide UHF communications .
5th ( Mhow ) Division The 5th ( Mhow ) Division was a regular division of the British Indian Army and part of the Southern Army which was formed in 1903 after Lord Kitchener was appointed Commander - in - Chief , India between 1902 and 1909 . He instituted large - scale reforms , including merging the three armies of the Presidencies into a unified force and forming higher level formations , eight army divisions , and brigading Indian and British units . Following Kitchener ' s reforms , the British Indian Army was " the force recruited locally and permanently based in India , together with its expatriate British officers . " The Division remained in India on internal security duties during World War I , but some of its units were transferred to serve with other Formations . The Cavalry units formed the 5th ( Mhow ) Cavalry Brigade in the 1st Indian Cavalry Division and served in France and Egypt .
AN / APG - 80 The AN / APG - 80 is an Active Electronically Scanned Array ( AESA ) system designed and manufactured by Northrop Grumman for use on the Lockheed Martin F - 16 Fighting Falcon fighter aircraft . It was originally designed to be included on the F - 16C / D Block 60 Desert Falcon aircraft ordered by the United Arab Emirates , and was subsequently also included on the F - 16E / F Block 60 Desert Falcons ; first deliveries were made in 2003 . Features . The AN / APG - 80 system is described as " agile beam " , and can perform air - to - air , search - and - track , air - to - ground targeting and aircraft terrain - following functions simultaneously and for multiple targets . As an AESA system utilizing NG ' s fourth - generation transmitter / receiver technologies , it has a higher reliability and twice the range of older , mechanically - scanned AN / APG - 68 radar systems . Development . The United Arab Emirates funded the entire $ 3 billion Block 60 development costs , including the AN / APG - 80 , which is the operational core of the aircraft . According to press reports quoted by " Flight International " , this is " the first time the US has sold a better aircraft overseas than its own forces fly " . Developmental flight tests were performed on NG ' s highly modified BAC 1 - 11 testbed aircraft , based at Baltimore .
