Battle of Elli The Battle of Elli ( , ) took place near the mouth of the Dardanelles on as part of the First Balkan War between the fleets of Greece and the Ottoman Empire . It was the largest sea battle of the Balkan Wars . The Royal Hellenic Navy , led by Rear Admiral Pavlos Kountouriotis on board the flagship " Averof " , defeated the Ottoman Navy , just outside the entrance to the Dardanelles ( Hellespont ) . During the battle , Kountouriotis , frustrated by the slow speed of the three older Greek battleships " Hydra " , " Spetsai " and " Psara " , hoisted the Flag Signal for the letter Z which stood for " Independent Action " , and sailed forward alone at a speed of 20 knots , against the Ottoman fleet . Taking full advantage in her superior speed , guns and armour , Averof succeeded in crossing the Ottoman fleet ' s " T " and concentrated her fire against the Ottoman flagship " Barbaros Hayreddin " , thus forcing the Ottoman fleet to retreat in disorder . The Greek fleet , including the destroyers " Aetos " , " Ierax " and " Panthir " continued to pursue the Ottoman fleet off - and - on between the dates of December 13 and December 26 , 1912 . The Ottomans suffered 7 killed and 14 wounded on the " Barbaros Hayreddin " , 8 killed and 20 wounded on the " Turgut Reis " , and 3 dead and 7 wounded on the " Mesudiye " . This victory was quite significant in that the Ottoman navy retreated within the Straits and left the Aegean Sea to the Greeks who were now free to liberate the islands of Lesbos , Chios , Lemnos and Samos . It also prevented any transfer of Ottoman troop reinforcements by sea and effectively secured Ottoman defeat on land .

McDonnell Douglas F - 4G Wild Weasel V The F - 4G Wild Weasel V , also known as the F - 4G " Advanced Wild Weasel , " was the last of the USAF ' s dedicated Suppression of Enemy Air Defense ( SEAD ) aircraft . Description . The prototype F - 4G first flew on December 6 , 1975 and the aircraft entered service in 1978 . The F - 4G entered service to replace the F - 105F / G " Wild Weasel " Thunderchief ( which replaced the F - 100F " Wild Weasel " Super Sabre ) . Most of the F - 4Gs in service were conversions of old USAF McDonnell Douglas F - 4 Phantom II airframes ( some of which had seen service in Vietnam ) . The conversion involved the removal of the gun for the installation of the AN / APR - 38 radar warning and homing receiver which has 52 antennas in the airframe . The main weapons of the F - 4G are specialized Anti - Radiation Missiles ( ARMs ) for the destruction of enemy radar sites . These missiles include the AGM - 45 Shrike , AGM - 78 Standard ARM , and the AGM - 88 HARM . The F - 4G can also carry AGM - 65 Maverick s and for self - defense : a pair of AIM - 9 Sidewinder s and an AN / ALQ - 119 jamming pod . The F - 4G ' s last hurrah was in the Gulf War of 1990 - 91 , and the last of the type were retired in 1995 due to Pentagon budget cuts . This ended over 30 years of Phantom II service with the USAF . The F - 4G is being replaced by F - 16 Fighting Falcon s equipped with HARMs and HARM targeting pods .
Tractics Tractics is a set of rules for conducting World War II style combat with micro armour miniatures . It was originally written to use 1 / 87 scale miniatures which were easily available at the time of its writing . Written by Mike Reese and Leon Tucker with contributions by Gary Gygax , the game was published by Guidon Games in 1971 and republished by TSR , Inc . in 1975 . It came as a boxed set containing three booklets with illustrations by Don Lowry . It has the distinction of being the first published game to use a 20 - sided die . TSR printed about 5000 copies of the game and then let it go out of print in 1977 . The name of the game recalls the popular Avalon Hill board wargame Tactics II ( 1958 ) . Although WWII style combat was popular with board wargamers , few miniature wargamers were enacting WWII battles in the mid - 1960s , in part because appropriate miniatures were scarce . In 1968 Reese and Tucker , two members of the LGTSA , began play - testing rules for tank combat that would eventually form the core of Tractics . Gygax contributed some rules on infantry , covered in the second booklet , and the third booklet would cover additional topics such as airstrikes and the MODERN period ( which at the time included rumors of the XM - 1 tank ) . The rules are for the dedicated wargaming enthusiast . The players must first acquire the miniatures and build the terrain . Reese and Tucker were interested in an accurate simulation , and as a result the game provides data describing the rate of movement , thickness of armor , and rate of fire for the makes of tank in service from 1940 to 1970 . The game is consequently slower to conduct than a board wargame such as Tactics II . For miniature wargamers who felt that the amount of detail was excessive , Reese and Tucker recommended their earlier Fast Rules ( 1970 ) although that set covered WWII only . " Tractics " is not a perfect information game and requires the use of a judge . A player does not initially know where his enemy is located , and pieces are placed in the playing area only when they come into open view or are detected by active observation . Tanks have a base 30 % chance ( i . e . must roll a 15 or higher on a 20 - sided die ) to hit a target . Modifiers apply depending upon factors such as how well the target is concealed .

Fort San Miguel " For Angola fort , see Fortaleza de São Miguel " Fort San Miguel was a Spanish fortification at Friendly Cove in Nootka Sound ( now Yuquot ) , Vancouver Island . It protected the Spanish settlement , called Santa Cruz de Nuca , the first colony in British Columbia . It was first built by Esteban José Martínez in 1789 but dismantled in October of that year . It was then rebuilt and enlarged in 1790 then Nootka Sound was reoccupied by Francisco de Eliza . The fort was essentially an artillery land battery for the defence of the harbour and buildings . The Spanish settlement , called Santa Cruz de Nuca , was the first colony in British Columbia . The fort lay near the home of Maquinna , chief of the Mowachaht / Muchalaht First Nations . On May 15 , 1789 Martínez chose the location of his fortification at the entrance of Friendly Cove on Hog Island . Work progressed so that on May 26 they were able to place their artillery followed by the construction of barracks and a powder storeroom . On June 24 , 1789 a salvo was fired from the new fort and the Spanish ships in what Martínez considered an official act of possession of Nootka Harbour . On July 4 , the American vessels and their captains Gray and Kendrick ( who had arrived in the harbour 7 months earlier than Martínez ) fired salvos and fireworks in recognition of their recent independence from Britain accompanied by a further salvo from the Spanish fort . On July 29 , 1789 new orders arrived from Viceroy Flores directing Martínez to abandon the station and return to San Blas . The artillery from the fort was loaded back aboard the " Princesa " and he left Friendly Cove on October 30 , 1789 . The fort was dismantled , but anticipating a reoccupation , Martínez buried crates of bricks and lime . The fort was rebuilt one year later , in 1790 , by Pedro de Alberni , a senior captain of the Spanish Army from Tortosa ( Catalonia ) , who served the Spanish Crown in the First Free Company of Volunteers of Catalonia along with 80 other men of the same origin . They sailed to Nootka with the Francisco de Eliza expedition . After arriving at Nootka , Eliza established three lines of defence : the 300 - ton frigate " Concepción " , the soldiers under Alberni on land and on the frigate , and the rebuilding of the battery on San Miguel Island . The construction of the battery was difficult . It was built on top of a rocky island — tall but small . Embrasure s had to be built to support the guns . It then took four days to emplace eight large cannons . Later , six smaller cannons were also emplaced . The battery did not have enough space for the remaining eight large cannon Eliza had brought , so they were stored ashore . The Catalan volunteers left the fort in 1792 . In 1795 it was finally abandoned under the terms of the third Nootka Convention . Before being occupied by Spain the site had been the Mowachaht summer village of Yuquot . It was reoccupied by the Mowachaht under Chief Maquinna . Remnants of the Spanish post , including its kitchen garden , were still visible when John R . Jewitt , an English captive of Maquinna , lived there in 1803 - 1805 .
