USS Arabia ( ID - 3434 ) USS " Arabia " ( ID - 3434 ) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission during 1918 . " Arabia " was built as a commercial fishing schooner of the same name in 1903 at Essex , Massachusetts . With World War I raging , the German submarine " U - 117 " created havoc with the New England commercial fishing fleet during the summer of 1918 , and the U . S . Navy acquired " Arabia " on 13 August 1918 from the Commonwealth Fisheries Company for use as a decoy ship in antisubmarine operations against " U - 117 " . She was assigned the naval registry identification number 3434 and commissioned on 14 August 1918 at Boston , Massachusetts , as USS " Arabia " ( ID - 3434 ) with Lieutenant , junior grade , Lester F . Rogers in command . The concept behind the use of " Arabia " as a decoy ship was for her to deploy into " U - 117 " s presumed operating area teamed with a U . S Navy submarine , which would follow her . It was hoped that her innocent appearance would lure " U - 117 " to the surface to attack her with gunfire , allowing the submerged U . S . Navy submarine nearby to torpedo and sink the German submarine . In addition to a Navy crew of two officers and seven enlisted men , 19 fishermen - 16 of them from " Arabia " s original crew — were recruited into the United States Naval Reserve Forces to lend an aura of realism to the operation . " Arabia " departed Boston on 14 August 1918 and shaped a course for the fishing grounds at Georges Bank , a large elevated area of the sea floor which separates the Gulf of Maine from the Atlantic Ocean situated between Cape Cod , Massachusetts , and Cape Sable Island , Nova Scotia , Canada . Once there , she operated in concert with the U . S . Navy submarine USS " N - 1 " ( Submarine No . 53 ) until after the Armistice with Germany ended World War I on 11 November 1918 . Never having encountered " U - 117 " , " Arabia " concluded her operations when she returned to port on 27 November 1918 . " Arabia " was decommissioned soon after her return . She was stricken from the Navy List on 27 March 1919 and was sold to Mr . W . V . M . Powelson of New York City on 11 November 1919 .
Operation Attila ( World War II ) During World War II , Operation Attila was a plan for the Nazi occupation of Vichy France . This plan was drawn up in 1940 in case the French rejoined the Allies or in case of an Allied threat to the south of France . An important aspect was the capture of the French Navy . The original plan was never executed , but a version ( Case Anton ) which included Italian forces was executed on 11 November 1942 in response to the Torch landings in North Africa . The attempt to capture the French fleet ( Operation " Lila " ) failed . Most of the French fleet at Toulon was scuttled by order of Admiral Jean de Laborde to prevent its capture . As a result of this action , the Germans and Italians failed to gain the use of three battleships , seven cruisers , twenty - eight destroyers and twenty submarines . However , the destruction of the fleet also denied it to Charles de Gaulle and the Free French Forces , explaining Hitler ' s satisfaction at the result .

Battle of Bar Prior to the war , Doclea had a nominal relationship of suzerainty with the Byzantine Empire ; however , around the start of the 11th century , Docleates waged a series of successful wars aimed at the complete independence of Doclea and termination of suzerain status . Byzantine army moved into Doclea and set up camp in the area near medieval Bar . The battle took place on the mountainous area between Bar and Crmnica after midnight , on October 7 in 1042 . Prior to the battle a man from Bar entered the Byzantine camp and spread false information about huge army causing panic among the Byzantines . Stefan Vojislav , along with three of his sons , led the Docleates into battle . Docleate Army slowly moved down the hills along with shouting and blowing horns and trumpets so it would appear much larger than it really was . The Byzantines were trapped in the mountainous area , as the Docleates blocked the passage . Docleates caught the Byzantines unprepared and managed to cause chaos among the Byzantine ranks and after heavy fighting rout the remaining Byzantine forces . Some historical records claim that two thirds of the Byzantine army had been killed . Byzantine historian John Skylitzes ( 1040 – 1101 ) claimed that 60 , 000 Byzantines participated in the battle , but these records are considered inaccurate . Most historians agree that there were about 40 , 000 Byzantines . Numbers of the Serbian army are unknown , but are considered to be largely inferior to the Byzantines . Voislav dispatched 50 Greeks to tell the rest about the huge victory for the Slavs .

Maurice Challe Maurice Challe ( 5 September 1905 – 18 January 1979 ) was a French general during the Algerian War , one of four generals who took part in the Algiers putsch . A native of Le Pontet , Vaucluse , and a veteran of the Second World War , Challe transmitted the Luftwaffe order of battle to the British prior to D - Day and backed De Gaulle ' s return to power . In July 1956 , Egyptian leader Gamal Abdel Nasser took control of the Suez Canal , in violation of agreements he had signed with the British and French governments . On 14 October 1956 , Challe visited British Prime Minister Anthony Eden at his home , accompanied by French Minister of Labor . The two Frenchmen told Eden about secret negotiations between Israel and France regarding a proposed Israeli attack on Egypt followed with military occupation by European powers , to control the Suez Canal . Eden backed the plan with UK resources including military forces , directly leading to the Suez Crisis . Challe was a French Air Force general whose greatest military success was in the realm of counter - insurgency operations during the Algerian War . His offensive , begun in March 1959 , succeeded in substantially weakening the ALN . Through the use of speed and concentration of force , Challe kept the ALN insurgents in constant retreat and disorder . His innovative tactics would be studied and emulated by others seeking to keep insurgency at bay and off - balance . The Challe Plan was only partially completed before he was reassigned to France . A line of electrified wire , minefields and other military barriers , the Challe Line , was named after him . It doubled another defence work , the Morice Line , which fortified the border and separated Algeria from Morocco and Tunisia . He was Commander - in - Chief Allied Forces Central Europe ( CINCENT ) from May 1960 to his deliberate resignation in February 1961 . Challe was one of the heads of the Algiers putsch of 1961 , along with Raoul Salan , Edmond Jouhaud , and André Zeller . A prime reason for Challe ' s involvement was his concern that the Muslim harkis who had served with the French Army against the FLN would be subject to reprisals in the event of Algerian independence . After the putsch failed , he and Zeller surrendered to the French Army ( while Salan and Jouhaud created the OAS ) . Challe was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment . He was freed in December 1966 and received amnesty from President de Gaulle in 1968 . Challe died on 18 January 1979 .

Elliot See Elliot McKay See , Jr . ( July 23 , 1927 February 28 , 1966 ) , was an American astronaut , selected in the second group of astronauts . He died in 1966 in a NASA trainer jet crash in St . Louis while training for what would have been his first space flight , Gemini 9 . Biography . See was born in Dallas , Texas , and attended Highland Park High School . After initially attending The University of Texas where he was a member of Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity , he then attended the United States Merchant Marine Academy , graduating in 1949 . He later obtained a Masters Degree from UCLA . He worked for General Electric before and after serving as a naval aviator from 1953 to 1956 . He was married to Marilyn Denahy See , and had three children , Sally , Carolyn , and David . See served as backup pilot for Gemini 5 and was in line to fly as Prime Crew Pilot for Gemini 8 but was promoted to be the Command Pilot of Gemini 9 . According to chief astronaut Deke Slayton ' s autobiography , Slayton did not assign See to Gemini 8 because he did not consider him physically capable of performing an extra - vehicular activity . Slayton further stated that he assigned See to Gemini 9 because he had become " sentimental " about getting him a flight . Death . See and fellow astronaut Charles Bassett , assigned as Pilot for Gemini 9 , were killed before their mission flew on February 28 , 1966 , when their T - 38 trainer jet crashed into McDonnell Aircraft Building 101 , known as the McDonnell Space Center , located 1 , 000 feet ( 300 m ) from Lambert Field airport in St . Louis , Missouri . Building 101 was where the Gemini spacecraft was built , and they were going there to train for two weeks in a simulator , along with their backup crew . Ironically , See and Bassett died within 500 feet ( 150 m ) of their spacecraft ; both were buried in Arlington National Cemetery . A NASA investigative panel later concluded that pilot error caused by poor visibility due to bad weather had been the principal cause of the accident . The panel concluded that See was flying too low to the ground during his second approach , probably as a result of the poor visibility . Slayton would later express doubts about See ' s flying ability , claiming that See flew too slowly and " wasn ' t aggressive enough . " The mission was launched three months later , in early June , as Gemini 9A . The shuffling of the Gemini prime and backup crew assignments that occurred after the deaths of See and Bassett impacted the crew selections for some of the early Apollo manned missions .
