21 cm Mörser M . 16 / 18 The 21 cm Mörser M . 16 was a heavy howitzer used by Austria - Hungary during World War I . Skoda began design in 1915 for a wheeled howitzer that could be towed in a single load by a tractor . The first prototype wasn ' t satisfactory as it was too heavy and traversing was difficult due to the very high limber bar pressure . A second howitzer was delivered in mid - 1917 that broke down into two loads for transport . This , at least , cured the traversing problem of the first weapon , as reported by the test battery assigned to the 11th Army . In the meantime , however , a third prototype had been ordered as the M . 18 with a carriage based on that of the 30 . 5 cm Mörser M . 16 that would allow for full traverse at the price of more time needed to emplace the firing platform . It broke down into three loads for transport . No M . 18s were delivered by the end of the war , although Skoda built some modified versions as the M . 18 / 19 for the newly independent Republic of Czechoslovakia where they were known as the 21 cm mozdir vz . 18 . After the Occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1939 the Germans adopted them under the names of 21 cm Mörser 18 / 19 ( t ) or kurze 21 cm Mörser ( t ) and used at least 15 on coast - defense duties in Norway .

A - class destroyer ( 1913 ) The A class as designated in 1913 was a heterogeneous group of torpedo boat destroyer s ( TBDs ) built for the Royal Navy in the mid - 1890s . Some 42 vessels were constructed to the individual designs of their builders to meet Admiralty specifications , the only uniting feature being a specified top speed of . In fact the initial six vessels were generally differentiated by a slightly lower speed and were often referred to as " 26 - knotters " to distinguish them from the following batch of thirty - six vessels ; all surviving " 27 - knotter " vessels were classified by the Admiralty as the A class in 1913 to provide some system to the naming of HM destroyers . All of the " 26 - knotters " and most of the " 27 - knotters " had been lost or scrapped before the 1913 classification ( and so - strictly speaking - never survived to become ' A ' class ) , but for convenience all 42 ships are listed below . The number of funnels varied from one to four . All vessels had a distinctive " turtleback " forecastle that was intended to clear water from the bow , but actually tended to dig the bow in to anything of a sea , resulting in a very wet conning position . They generally displaced around 260 tons and had a length of around . All were powered by triple expansion steam engines and had coal - fired water - tube boilers ( although initially , some had " locomotive type " fire - tube boiler s in lieu ) . Armament was generally one QF 12 pounder on a bandstand on the forecastle , up to five QF 6 pounder and 2 single tubes for torpedo es . The " Daring " and " Havock " class ships initially had a third tube in the bow , fixed to fire straight ahead , but this was found to weigh down the bows and it was possible for the ship to run over its own torpedo when moving at high speed , as such they were later removed and this feature was not repeated in later vessels . Ships . The 26 - knotter group . Six ships were ordered under the 1892 - 93 programme : The 27 - knotter group . Initially six torpedo boat destroyers ( the Thornycroft and Yarrow vessels below ) were ordered under the 1893 - 94 Estimates , but a series of follow - up orders raised the programme to thirty - six vessels .

WS - 125 The WS - 125 was a proposed super long range bomber , designed in the United States during the cold war as a nuclear aircraft and was scheduled to be named as B - 72 . In 1954 , the USAF issued a weapons system requirement for a nuclear - powered bomber , designated WS - 125 . In 1956 , GE teamed up with Convair ( X211 program ) and Pratt & Whitney with Lockheed in competitive engine / airframe development to address the requirement . In 1956 , the USAF decided that the proposed WS - 125 bomber was unfeasible as an operational strategic aircraft .
