Pave Tack The Ford Aerospace AN / AVQ - 26 Pave Tack is an electro - optical targeting pod developed by the United States Air Force ( USAF ) for military attack aircraft . It uses a laser and a forward - looking infrared to find and designate targets for laser - guided bomb s and other precision - guided weapon s . Pave Tack ' s images are routed to a cockpit display , usually for the weapon systems officer . Pave Tack was developed in the late 1970s , and was initially used by the USAF McDonnell - Douglas F - 4 Phantom II and General Dynamics F - 111F Aardvark strike aircraft . Its combat debut came in 1986 during Operation Eldorado Canyon ' s air raid against Libya from F - 111F aircraft stationed at RAF Lakenheath England . F - 111s used it to great effect in the Gulf War of 1991 , both against fixed targets and against tanks ( the destruction of tanks with LGBs designated GBU - 15 , became known as " tank plinking " ) . Pave Tack is a large installation , with the pod alone weighing some 629 kg ( 1 , 385 lb ) and measuring 4 , 220 mm ( 166 inches ) in length . On the F - 4 , the size of the pod meant that it had to be carried on the centerline station in place of the standard drop tank , and it imposed a substantial drag penalty ; crews referred to it as " Pave Drag , " and it was generally unpopular . The F - 111C and F - 111F carried the Pave Tack pod on a rotating carriage in its internal weapons bay , retracting it when not in use to reduce drag and protect the sensors from damage . About 150 AVQ - 26 pods were built , substantially less than originally planned . The last USAF Pave Tacks were withdrawn with the retirement of the F - 111 in 1996 . The Royal Australian Air Force ( RAAF ) purchased ten Pave Tack pods in 1980 for its F - 111 fleet . All 24 F - 111Cs were wired for the pod , although there were not enough pods for all to be simultaneously equipped . Following the retirement of the USAF ' s F - 111F in 1996 the RAAF purchased surplus pods to equip each of its F - 111Cs to carry its own . The Republic of Korea Air Force ( RoKAF ) ordered an initial batch of eight pods in 1984 for delivery in 1987 . It may have subsequently obtained additional pods from USAF surplus . The RoKAF uses the pods on its F - 4 Phantoms . The age of the Pave Tack system has made for a maintenance and reliability headache , since many of its parts are obsolete and no longer available .

She was the fourth ship of her class to be laid down , but the first ship of her class to be launched . Design . The Großes Torpedoboot 1916 class marked a significant departure from previous Imperial German torpedo boat design .

Battle of Malta The Battle of Malta took place on 8 July 1283 in the entrance to the Grand Harbour , the principal harbor of Malta , when a galley fleet commanded by Roger of Lauria defeated a fleet of Angevin galleys commanded by William Cornut and Bartholomew Bonvin . Cornut was killed . Charles of Salerno , in the absence of his father ( Charles I of Naples ) , had sent the Provençal fleet to relieve the besieged garrison of Malta , which was trapped in the " Castello del Mare " ( the " Castle of the Sea " , now known as Fort St . Angelo ) in Grand Harbour after the inhabitants of Malta had revolted . Roger learnt this and sent his own fleet to support the Maltese . Arriving at night , he made contact with a besieger and sent a sentry boat into the harbor . It reported that the Angevin galleys were beached under the castle walls . Roger moved his galleys into line abreast at the entrance to the harbor , silencing the guard boats in the process , and connected his ships together . At about dawn he ordered a trumpet challenge to be sounded . His reason for doing this is not clear . Perhaps he wanted to show the bravery and boldness of his crews , or to prevent anyone from saying he couldn ' t have won if the enemy hadn ' t been asleep , but since he later attacked a sleeping enemy , it would seem that he did it to draw the Angevins out to his prepared position . It would ' ve been difficult for him to attack in the confines of the harbor , and he would ' ve lost the element of surprise anyway . Also , beached galleys were almost impossible to defeat in close combat , as they could be continually reinforced from shore . The Angevin crews rushed to launch their galleys , and they moved out in a disorganized manner . Roger first used his Catalan archers , then closed for hand - to - hand combat . Cornut was killed by Roger in single combat when he boarded Roger ' s flagship , but Bonvin broke through the line with some galleys and escaped . About 10 galleys were captured . Ships involved . Aragon ( Roger of Lauria ) . probably 22 galleys ; possibly as few as 18 < br > 4 lignas ? < br > 1 tarida ? < br > 1 vassellus ? Angevins ( Cornut and Bonvin ) . about 19 galleys - About 10 captured
