Takeda Katsuyori Katsuyori , first known as , succeeded to his mother ' s Suwa clan and gained Takatō Castle as the seat of his domain . After his elder brother Takeda Yoshinobu died , Katsuyori ' s son Nobukatsu became heir to the Takeda clan , making Katsuyori the true ruler of the Takeda clan . He took charge of the family after the death of Shingen and fought Tokugawa Ieyasu at Takatenjin in 1574 and at Nagashino in 1575 . He captured Takatenjin , which even his father could not ; this gained him the support of the Takeda clan , but he suffered a terrible loss at Nagashino , succumbing to one of the earliest recorded uses of volley fire ( Oda Nobunaga ' s 3000 guns ) , in which he lost a large part of his forces as well as a number of his generals . Katsuyori incurred the wrath of the Hōjō family by helping Uesugi Kagekatsu against Uesugi Kagetora who was Hōjō Ujiyasu ' s seventh son , adopted by and heir to Uesugi Kenshin . He lost Takatenjin in 1581 and this led clans like Kiso and Anayama to withdraw their support . His forces were destroyed by the combined armies of Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu at Temmokuzan in 1582 , after which Katsuyori , his wife , his son Nobukatsu and several maids of their retinue committed their ritual suicide , known as seppuku . There has been rumours that Oda Nobunaga had great pleasure in seeing Katsuyori ' s severed head , since the Takeda clan had always been his biggest rival . The nun Rikei wrote an account of his wife ' s suicide and , pitying them , wrote several verses in their honour . Family . Father : Takeda Shingen ( 1521 - 1573 ) Sons :

Vorpostenboot Vorpostenboots ( also referred to as VP - Boats , flakships or outpost boats ) were German patrol boats which served during both World Wars . They were used around coastal areas and in coastal operations , and were tasked with – among other things – coastal patrol , ship escort , and naval combat . Warship s were not available in sufficient numbers in the Imperial Navy and the Kriegsmarine to control the long coasts of the territories under German rule . For this reason , many different types of smaller craft were modified for use in combat . Most Vorpostenboots were pre - war fishing vessel s , yachts or harbour craft . Such vessels were ideal because they were plentiful , and were of simple and robust design , advantageous in rough waters . They were the German equivalent to the trawlers of the Royal Navy . There were several hundred Vorpostenboots active during each World War . Vorpostenboots typically carried one or two medium - calibre guns ( e . g . 88 mm ) , many light automatic anti - air artillery pieces ( 20 - 40mm ) , and a varying number of machine guns . For anti - submarine warfare they were also fitted with depth charge s . Crewed by sixty to seventy men , most of whom were weapons personnel taken from the naval reserve , the Vorpostenboots became particularly feared by the Royal Navy for their firepower and efficiency in battle . While Vorpostenboots were able to engage and defeat light naval forces – such as small motor gun boats – they were not powerful enough to effectively combat destroyer s or larger warships . During the Cold War , the German Navy planned to use Vorpostenboots as part of its wartime strategy , in squadrons 122 and 124 of the Navy .
