Test No . 6 Test No . 6 is the codename for China ' s first test of a three - staged thermonuclear device and , also its sixth nuclear weapons test . The device was detonated at Lop Nur Test Base , or often dubbed as Lop Nur Nuclear Weapon Test Base , in Malan , Xinjiang , on 17 June 1967 . With successful testing of this three - stage thermonuclear device , China became the fourth country to have successfully developed a thermonuclear weapon after the United States , Soviet Union and the United Kingdom . It was dropped from a Hong - 6 ( Chinese manufactured Tu - 16 ) and was parachute - retarded for an airburst at 2960 meters . The bomb was a three - stage device with a boosted U - 235 primary and U - 238 pusher . The yield was 3 . 3 megatons . It was a fully functional , full - scale , three - stage hydrogen bomb , tested 32 months after China had made its first fission device . China thus produced the shortest fission - to - fusion development known in history . China had received extensive technical help from the Soviet Union to jump - start their nuclear program , but by 1960 , the rift between the Soviet Union and China had become so great that the Soviet Union ceased all assistance to China . Thus , the Number 6 test was indeed an independent endeavor , after the induced military and economic sanctions enacted by the superpowers at the time , the United States and the Soviet Union . Nevertheless , a comparison of other fission - to - fusion timespans may be instructive . The time between the U . S . ' s first atomic test and its first hydrogen bomb test was 86 months , for the USSR it was 75 months , for the UK 66 months and later for France , 105 months . The goal of China was to produce a thermonuclear device of at least a megaton in yield that could be dropped by an aircraft or carried by a ballistic missile . Several explosions to test thermonuclear weapon designs , characteristics and yield boosting preceded the thermonuclear test .
Owston Ferry Castle Owston Ferry Castle ( also known as Kinnard ' s Ferry Castle ) was in the village of Owston Ferry , some to the north of Gainsborough , Lincolnshire . It is thought that the original castle on this site was erected soon after the Norman Conquest but that it was dismantled in 1095 . It was rebuilt in 1173 by Roger de Mowbray to support Prince Henry in the conflict with his father Henry II who subsequently had the castle destroyed . The site of the motte remains as a broad grassy mound . The surrounding area is now a Local Nature Reserve .
Canon de 4 de Vallière The Canon de 4 de Vallière was a type of cannon designed by the French officer Florent - Jean de Vallière ( 1667 - 1759 ) , Director - General of the Battalions and Schools of the Artillery . The cannon was a result of the Royal Ordonnance of October 7 , 1732 , edicted to reorganize and standardize the King ' s artillery Whereas numerous formats and designs had been in place in the French army , De Vallière standardized the French sizes in artillery pieces , by allowing only for the production of 24 , 12 , 8 and 4 pound guns , mortars of 13 and 9 inches , and stone - throwing mortars of 16 inches . The 24 - pdr was the largest caliber available to French artillery in this system . The cannon used core drilling of the bore of cannons founded in one piece of bronze , a method developed at that time by Jean Maritz , which allowed for much higher precision of the bore shape and surface , and therefore higher shooting efficiency . As with other de Valliere guns , the 4 - pdr was also highly decorated and contained numerous designs and inscriptions . Front part . Starting with the front part , the gun had a sight design at it extremity . The followed the name of the gun ( here " Le Pénétrant " ) . Then , a Latin phrase " Ultima Ratio Regum " , initially introduced by Louis XIV , and rather descriptive of the role of the gun : " The Last Argument of the King " . Under that appears the name " Louis Charles de Bourbon , " comte d ' Eu , duc d ' Aumale " " , the " Grand Maître de l ' artillerie de France " ( Grand Master of the Artillery of France ) , followed by a royal emblem . In the middle of the cannon are trunnions , used to position the gun in place and elevate or depress it . On top of the trunnions are dolphin - shaped ornaments , which are used in lifting the gun . Back part . The back part consists in , sometimes , an inscription showing the weight of the cannon ball ( for example a " 4 " for a 4 - pounder ) , followed by a Latin inscription " " Nec pluribus impar " " , meaning that the King is " Not unequal to many ( suns ) " . This is followed by the royal crest of the Bourbon dynasty . At the bottom of the gun , the location and date of manufacture are inscribed , and finally the name and title of the founder ( in the example " Fondu par J . Gor , Commissaire des Fontes " ) . The breech is decorated with an animal face showing the rating of the gun ( " Face in a sunburst " for a 4 - pounder ) . Operational activity . Numerous de Valliere guns were used in the American War of Independence , especially the smaller 4 - pdr field guns . The guns were shipped from France , and the field carriages provided for in the US . These guns played an important role in such battles as the Battle of Saratoga , or the Siege of Yorktown .

AK - 9 AK - 9 is a proposed Russian fully automatic assault rifle chambered for the 9 x 39 mm subsonic cartridge . It is one of the latest models of the popular Kalashnikov rifle series . It is based on the " 100 " series Kalashnikov assault rifles . In 2006 , Russian authorities wanted the Izhmash factory to design a rifle with Kalashnikov properties , but suitable to be used in special operations . Factory manager Vladimir Grodetsky stated that the rifle was for special forces for anti - terrorist operations . Alexei Dragunov , one of the designers of AK - 9 , says " It shoots virtually without a sound and it can go through a bullet - proof vest " . AK - 9 is also lighter than earlier Kalashnikov models . The AK - 9 is based on the so - called " hundred series " of Kalashnikov assault rifles , such as AK - 104 , but with certain improvements . It features same tried and proven gas operated , rotary bolt action and same " Kalashnikov - style " controls including reciprocating bolt handle , safety / fire selector lever and overall layout with side - folding polymer buttstock . Polymer furniture is improved with addition of the accessory Picatinny rails on the bottom of the forend , and the left side of receiver is fitted with Russian - standard scope rail . Barrel can be fitted with specially designed quick - detach silencer ( sound moderator ) , which is especially effective with 9x39 subsonic ammunition . Magazine is made of black polymer , holds 20 rounds of ammunition and appears to be of proprietary design , not compatible with other ( competing ) weapons of the same caliber , which are already in service with Russian military and law enforcement . The AK - 9 appears to be a competitor to the AS Val and 9A - 91 , which have already seen Russian military and police service . From the Vladimir Zlobin interview in February 2013 : " We are working on an entire line of various small arms based on the AK - 12 . These would be submachine guns and compact assault rifles , automatic carbines and hand - held machine guns . On the basic AK - 12 platform a series of special - purpose weapons is being developed . For example , the AK - 9 was transferred to this platform . The weapons are going to be tested this spring . "

Action of 17 November 1917 The Action of 17 November 1917 was a naval battle of the First World War . The action was fought between a German U - boat and two United States Navy destroyer s in the North Atlantic Ocean . Action . Based in Queenstown , Ireland , USS " Fanning " and her sister destroyer USS " Nicholson " patrolled the eastern waters of the Atlantic Ocean . Their mission was to escort convoys and rescue survivors of sunken merchant ships as well as to seek out and destroy German U - boats . While escorting the eight vessel convoy OQ - 20 eastbound , the two destroyers made contact with an enemy submarine . With Arthur S . Carpender commanding , at 4 : 110 on 17 November 1917 , Coxswain Daniel David Loomis of the " Fanning " sighted " U - 58 " , commanded by Kapitänleutnant Gustav Amberger , when the U - boat had surfaced to extend her periscope . The German submarine lined up for a shot at the British merchant steamer SS " Welshman " and almost immediately Officer of the Deck Lieutenant William O . Henry ordered the destroyer to make circles and engage . At 4 : 00 " Fanning " dropped three depth charge s , scoring a hit which shook up the U - boat well . Then USS " Nicholson " joined in the fighting , commanded by Frank Berrien , and dropped another depth charge herself . " U - 58 " surfaced again and the Americans spotted her conning tower with officers on deck and a crew manning the deck gun . " Fanning " engaged with her stern gun and fired three shots then " Nicholson " began firing with her bow gun and at least one shot struck the U - boat . The Germans fired back but none of the rounds met their target . By 4 : 30 the Germans sailors surrendered and came out on deck with hands raised in the air . American fire had hit the submarine near its diving plane s , making the ship unmanueverable . Kapitänleutnant Amberger ordered the ballast tank s blown and the submarine went up . Charges also knocked out the main generator aboard the " Fanning " . If " U - 58 " had surfaced in a battle ready position , " Fanning " would have surely been attacked and possibly sunk . The German submariners surrendered and " Fanning " maneuvered to take prisoners . That ended the action with an American victory . The " Fanning " and " Nicholson " s sinking of " U - 58 " was one of only a few engagements of World War I in which U . S . Navy warships sank an enemy submarine . Also the first time U . S . ships sank a submarine in combat . Lieutenant William O . Henry and Coxswain Daniel Lommis both received a Navy Cross for their actions during their encounter with " U - 58 " . " Fanning " and " Nicholson " continued the war escorting and patrolling the North Atlantic , making several more inconclusive contacts with German submarines . Thirty - eight of the 40 crew members of the U - 58 survived to become prisoners of war in the United States .
