Richard Grace Colonel Richard Grace ( c . 1612 – 1691 ) was an Irish Royalist soldier who fought for Charles I , Charles II and James II . Biography . Grace the younger son of Robert Grace , Baron of Courtstown , was born the early part of the 17th century , of a Kilkenny family that may have been descended from Odo , Count of Champagne . He resided at Moyelly Castle , Queen ' s County , and served Charles I in England , until the surrender of Oxford in 1646 . He then returned to Ireland , and was for some years engaged in the Irish Confederate Wars . He is referred to in State Papers as being at the head of 3 , 000 men , harassing the Parliamentary troops — now in Wicklow , and again at Crogan , beyond the River Shannon . In 1652 a reward of £300 was by the English Commonwealth government set upon his head , yet at the conclusion of the war he was permitted to enter the Spanish service with 1 , 200 of his men . At the Battle of the Dunes ( 1658 ) he commanded the " Lord Ormond ' s regiment of Irish " in the services of King Charles II . After some time he went over to the French side , without betraying any trust imposed upon him , having given due notice to his Spanish friends . After the Restoration he was appointed Chamberlain to the Duke of York ( the future James II ) , and in consideration of his faithful and indefatigable services , received " pensions of £400 , and a portion at least of his estates were restored to him . " When James II . came to Ireland , Grace was appointed Governor of Athlone , with a garrison of three regiments of foot , and eleven troops of cavalry . After the Battle of the Boyne , Athlone was invested by General Douglas with ten regiments of foot , and five of horse . Grace having burnt the English town , and broken down the bridge , defended the Connaught works with indomitable spirit . When called upon to surrender , he fired a pistol over the messenger ' s head , and declared : " These are my terms ; these only will I give or receive ; and when my provisions are consumed , I will defend till I eat my old boots . " At the end of a week , Douglas was obliged to draw off , with the loss of 400 men . The town was again invested by Godert de Ginkell in 1691 . Marquis de St Ruth had meanwhile obliged Grace to exchange three of his veteran regiments for inferior French troops . Nevertheless he made a heroic defence under St Ruth , and on 30 June 1691 , after de Ginkell ' s passage of the Shannon and the capture of the citadel on the Connaught side , Colonel Grace ' s body was found under the ruins . His conduct towards the Protestants within his district is described as having been peculiarly humane and just ; and although the severity of his discipline contrasted with the irregularities tolerated in other portions of the Irish army , he was greatly beloved by his men .
USS Bittern ( AM - 36 ) USS " Bittern " ( AM - 36 ) was a in the United States Navy . She was named after the bittern , a bird of the heron family .

Bachmann in command . She was scuttled after damage from enemy action in the early days of World War II . Initial operations . " Bittern ' s " first duty was as tender to the captured German submarine SM UB - 88 while she made an exhibition tour of the U . S . Gulf Coast and U . S . West Coast ports . Assigned to the Far East . In January 1920 " Bittern " sailed for the Far East where she remained for the rest of her active service . Throughout most of the next 21 years she wintered at Cavite , Philippine Islands , and summered at Chefoo , China . But the routine was broken occasionally by assignment to scientific expeditions and in September 1923 by relief work following the Yokohama , Japan , earthquake . Scuttled after attack by Japanese planes . The Japanese air raid on Cavite Navy Yard on 10 December 1941 found " Bittern " undergoing repairs . Although not hit , " Bittern " suffered extensive damage from fire , near misses , and flying debris from moored alongside .

SS Führungshauptamt The SS - Führungshauptamt ( ) ( SS - FHA ) was the operational headquarters of the SS . It was responsible for the administration of Officer Schools ( " Junkerschulen " ) , Medical services , logistics , and rates of pay . It was also the administrative and operational headquarters for the Waffen SS that was responsible for its organisation and equipment and Order of battle of SS combat units . Formation . The SS - Führungshauptamt , which was under the direct command of Reichsführer - SS Heinrich Himmler , was formed in 1940 from some of the departments of the SS - Hauptamt and the Allgemeine SS . Its main duty was the operational control of the Waffen - SS developing general policy on recruiting and handling special personnel requirements . By 1942 , recruitment by the Allgemeine - SS had almost ceased as a result of WWII , meaning local units were responsible for maintaining their own staffing levels . The SS - FHA had priority over all other branches of the Armed Forces in selection of recruits . Likewise , to meet the casualty rates and expansion of Waffen - SS field divisions , service in the Waffen - SS was made compulsory for all members of the Allgemeine - SS in 1941 . The SS - FHA also accepted personnel who requested voluntary transfer to the Waffen SS after being inducted into any another branch of the military of Nazi Germany ; this later included members of the Hitler Youth . When Himmler stepped down as SS - FHA chief in 1943 , SS - Obergruppenführer Hans Jüttner managed the department till the end of the war . Organisation .

FFA P - 16 The FFA P - 16 was a Swiss prototype ground attack jet fighter designed in the 1950s to replace the piston - engined types then in service with the Swiss Air Force . It was Switzerland ' s second attempt to develop a domestically - designed and manufactured jet fighter after the EFW N - 20 , but the project was terminated before it could be introduced into service . Design and development . The P - 16 was designed to be especially well - suited to the close - support role , and short - field performance was also emphasized . The resulting aircraft was a single - seat , single - engine design with intakes on the fuselage sides and a low wing . The horizontal stabilizer was mounted halfway up the fin . To ensure good performance from unprepared fields , heavy undercarriage and dual wheels and tires were fitted . The straight , low aspect ratio wing was of multi - spar construction with various high - lift devices including full - span Krueger flaps on the leading edge , large Fowler - type flaps on the inboard trailing edge , and ailerons which also operated as flaps . These devices allowed the aircraft to take off and land within 1 , 000 ft ( 330 m ) at high altitude , allowing it to operate from the Alpine valleys characteristic of Switzerland . Testing and evaluation . Two prototypes were ordered in 1952 , the first one flying on 25 April 1955 . Although this aircraft ( J - 3001 ) was destroyed in a crash on 25 April having made 22 flights with a total flight time of 12 h 38 min , a development contract for four pre - production aircraft was awarded . On 15 August 1956 , the second prototype exceeded the sound barrier for the first time . It completed another 310 flights by March 1958 after which it was scrapped . The pre - production machines ( designated Mk II ) differed from the prototypes in a variety of ways , but most especially in the fitting of a more powerful Sapphire 7 engine , in place of the prototype ' s Sapphire 6 . When test flights proved promising , a new contract was awarded in 1958 for 100 aircraft . But when the first pre - production machine ( J - 3003 ) was destroyed in a crash on 25 March 1958 after 102 flights , the government cancelled the entire order and bought Hawker Hunter s from the UK instead . FFA continued the program at its own expense for a while , completing two more aircraft to MK III standard , but was unable to attract buyers . These two aircraft ( X - HB - VAC / J - 3004 and X - HB - VAD / J - 3005 ) first flew in July 1959 and March 1960 respectively . Their last flights were in April 1960 and June 1960 . Certain design concepts of the P - 16 , such as the multi - spar wing structure , were used by Bill Lear when developing the first of the highly successful Learjet family of business jets . The Learjet was a new design , however , and was not developed from the P - 16 as is sometimes claimed . As of 2007 , only a single example , assembled from parts of two of the prototypes , remains in existence . It is on display at the Swiss Air Force Museum at the Dübendorf airbase . Proposed variants to be built by AFU . Aktiengesellschaft für Flugzeugunternehmungen proposed several variants :
8th U - boat Flotilla The 8th U - boat Flotilla ( German " 8 . Unterseebootsflottille " ) was formed in June 1941 in Königsberg under the command of " Kapitänleutnant " Georg - Wilhelm Schulz , who also at this time commanded the 6th U - boat Flotilla in Danzig . It was primarily a training flotilla but in the last months of the war some flotilla boats were in combat against the Soviet Navy in the Baltic Sea . The flotilla was disbanded in January 1945 .
Constantly computed impact point Constantly Computed Impact Point ( CCIP ) is a function with a weapon ' s sighting system . It provides a depiction of the calculated point of impact , that works out from the launch platform ' s movement , the target ' s movement , gravity , projectile launch velocity , projectile drag , and other factors that can be entered , where a projectile will land and displays the information on the Heads Up Display ( HUD ) . The crosshairs will move around dependent on where the computer predicts the selected rocket , bullet or bomb will hit . Normally a radar lock is necessary , but when strafing or bombing a ground target ( A / G mode ; A / A mode will simply put the hairs in the centre of the HUD ) , the crosshairs will move along the ground . This system is normally used in aircraft or other large vehicles or large static weapons , but it may be possible that the system could be or has been condensed into something that can fit on the top of man portable firearm s too . This system is sometimes combined with an autorelease system so that an aircraft can lock a low drag bomb onto a target from a safe distance , and the bomb can then be released while the aircraft is in a high G climb ( when the target would no longer be visible over the aircraft ' s nose ) so that the aircraft does not need to overfly the target .
