Curtiss SC Seahawk The Curtiss SC Seahawk was a scout seaplane designed by the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company for the United States Navy . The existing Curtiss SO3C Seamew and the Vought OS2U Kingfisher were 1937 designs that , by 1942 needed to be replaced . Design and development . Work began in June 1942 , following a US Navy Bureau of Aeronautics request for scout seaplane proposals . Curtiss submitted the Seahawk design on 1 August 1942 , with a contract for two prototypes and five service test aircraft awarded on 25 August . A production order for 500 SC - 1s followed in June 1943 , prior to the first flight of the prototypes . While only intended to seat the pilot , a bunk was provided in the aft fuselage for rescue or personnel transfer . Two 0 . 5 in ( 12 . 7 mm ) M2 Browning machine gun s were fitted in the wings , and two underwing hardpoints allowed carriage of 250 lb ( 113 kg ) bombs or , on the right wing , surface - scan radar . The main float , designed to incorporate a bomb bay , suffered substantial leaks when used in that fashion , and was modified to carry an auxiliary fuel tank . The first flight of a prototype XSC - 1 took place 16 February 1944 at the Columbus , Ohio Curtiss plant . Flight testing continued through 28 April , when the last of the seven pre - production aircraft took to the air . Nine further prototypes were later built , with a second seat and modified cockpit , designated SC - 2 ; series production was not undertaken . Operational history . The first serial production Seahawks were delivered on 22 October 1944 , to the . All 577 aircraft eventually produced for the Navy were delivered on conventional landing gear and flown to the appropriate Naval Air Station , where float s were fitted for service as needed . Capable of being fitted with either float or wheeled landing gear , the Seahawk was arguably America ' s best floatplane scout of World War II . However , its protracted development time meant it entered service too late to see significant action in the war . It was not until June 1945 , during the pre - invasion bombardment of Borneo , that the Seahawk was involved in military action . By the end of the war , seaplanes were becoming less desirable , with the Seahawk being replaced soon afterward by helicopter s . Tri - color camouflage and markings on the Seahawk were in accordance with US Navy regulations from 1944 , 1945 and later postwar regulations .

Dmitri Polyakov Dmitri Fyodorovich Polyakov ( ) ( 6 July 1921 – 15 March 1988 ) was a Soviet Major General , a high - ranking GRU officer , and a prominent Cold War spy who revealed Soviet secrets to the Central Intelligence Agency . In the CIA he was known by code names BOURBON and ROAM , while the Federal Bureau of Investigation ( FBI ) knew him as TOPHAT ( Top Hat ) . Early life . Born in 1921 , in Ukraine , he graduated from Sumy Artillery School in June 1941 and served as an artillery officer in World War II and was decorated for bravery .

His first mission was with the Soviet delegation to the Military Staff Committee of the United Nations in New York from 1951 – 1956 . Agent . On his second assignment there , in 1959 – 1961 , he approached FBI counterintelligence agents to offer his services as an informant . His follow - up overseas assignments included Rangoon , Burma ( 1965 – 1969 ) and New Delhi , India ( 1973 – 1976 and 1979 – 1980 ) where he was posted as Soviet Military Attaché . Some in the CIA feel that Polyakov became a mole because he was disgusted with the corruption of the Soviet Party elite . Victor Cherkashin suggested that he was embittered because Soviet leadership denied him permission to take his seriously ill son , the eldest of three , to a hospital in New York where he could get adequate medical attention . This son died as a result of the illness and soon after , Polyakov began his informant activities . For 25 years , he remained a CIA informant as he rose through the ranks , eventually becoming a General . CIA officers speak in superlatives about the kind of information he provided . Sandy Grimes said of him , " Polyakov was our crown jewel . . . the best source at least to my knowledge that American intelligence has ever had and I would submit , although I certainly can ' t be certain , but the best source that any intelligence service has ever had . James Woolsey said of him , " Polyakov was the jewel in the crown . According to all accounts , he was not interested in money , but was acting purely from principle . Among the important information Polyakov provided : Arrest and Execution . Polyakov was arrested by the KGB in 1986 , six years after his retirement from the GRU . His contacts at the CIA had no information about what might have happened to him . Only later , it became clear that he was betrayed by both Robert Hanssen and Aldrich Ames . In 1988 Polyakov was sentenced to death for treason and executed . Legacy . CIA officer Jeanne Vertefeuille said , " He didn ’ t do this for money . He insisted on staying in place to help us . It was a bad day for us when we lost him .

National Distress System The U . S . National Distress System ( NDRS ) was established more than 30 years ago as a VHF - FM - based radio communication system that has a range of up to 20 nautical miles ( 40 km ) along most of the U . S . shoreline for the United States Coast Guard . While this system has served the Coast Guard well over the years , it consists of out - of - date and non - standard equipment with many limitations . This system is being replaced by Rescue 21 . Overview . The Coast Guard currently operates a National Distress System , a network of about 300 VHF transceivers and antenna high - sites which are remotely controlled by regional communications centers to provide coverage extending out to at least 20 nautical miles from shore , and often much further . Coverage is reasonably continuous through most of the Atlantic , Gulf and Pacific Coasts , the Great Lakes , and many rivers . Many urban areas of the U . S . are also covered . Objective . This system serves as : Status . Of the 25 largest U . S . cities ranked by population in the 1990 census by the Department of Commerce Census Bureau , 19 cities , i . e . 76 % , are close to navigable waters and are within at least partial coverage of the U . S . Coast Guard ’ s VHF National Distress System . Each National Distress System VHF site consists of a receiver guarding VHF Channel 16 , the maritime distress , safety and calling channel , and a transceiver capable of operating on one of six fixed maritime channels . Two of these channels are always Channel 16 and 22A . The system is not Global Maritime Distress & Safety System - compatible , coverage gaps exist in several locations , it cannot operate on public safety channels , it has no direction finding capability , distress calls cannot be received at a high site when the site is transmitting on any channel , and the system is near the end of its useful life . For these reasons , the Coast Guard began to modernize this system in 2003 . The National Distress System is operated by 45 Coast Guard Group and Section Command Centers , each acting as a Maritime Rescue Coordination Center having a specific area of responsibility . VHF Distress Coverage Charts . Charts showing predicted areas of VHF National Distress System coverage can be downloaded in . jpg format . Coverage plots assume a mobile transmitter power of 1 watt at sea level over water , and of 25 watts over land . Alaskan coverage was based upon reception of a 1 Watt transmission from a handheld radio 2 meters above sea level . Predictions ( except Alaska ) were made by the DOD Joint Spectrum Center in Annapolis MD in March 1994 . Note charts are predictions of radio coverage ; actual radio coverage may vary . Some site locations have also changed since these predictions were made . The average chart file size is about 100 kb . Note : Most plots were produced on vellum overlays at scales of 1 : 1 , 000 , 000 and reduced to standard page size . Due to this reduction and to file size limitations , some chart features may be difficult to read . Limitations . Limitations include :
