Fort Lafayette Fort Lafayette was an island coastal fortification in the Narrows of New York Harbor , built offshore from Fort Hamilton at the southern tip of what is now Bay Ridge in the New York City borough of Brooklyn . The fort was built upon a natural island known as Hendrick ' s Reef . Construction on the fort began during the War of 1812 and was finally completed in 1818 , the fort originally named Fort Diamond was renamed in 1825 to celebrate the Marquis de La Fayette , a hero of the American Revolution who was returning to his native France after his year - long grand tour of the United States . Construction of the Verrazano - Narrows Bridge caused the fort ' s destruction in 1960 ; the Brooklyn - side bridge pillars now occupy the fort ' s former foundation site . Civil War prison . Before 1861 , the fort ' s 72 heavy cannon commanded the primary approaches to the harbor , but during the Civil War , the casemate s were used to house Confederate prisoners of war and politicians opposed to the administration ' s policies , detained under Abraham Lincoln ' s selective suspension of the writ of habeas corpus . Fort Lafayette came to be known as the " American Bastille " . Robert Cobb Kennedy formerly a captain in the 1st Louisiana Regular Infantry CSA was one of the Confederate conspirators in the plot to burn New York on November 25 , 1864 and was the only one caught . He was imprisoned and hanged at the fort on March 25 , 1865 . The plot to burn New York was to be retaliation for Sherman burning Atlanta .

He was then transferred to Fort Lafayette and from there to Fort Warren in Boston . Later use . Rebuilt after a catastophic fire in 1868 , the fort was later used for ammunition storage and transfer until World War II . It was demolished in 1960 when the island was used for the base of the Brooklyn tower of the Verrazano - Narrows Bridge .
Convair F - 106 Delta Dart The Convair F - 106 Delta Dart is an interceptor aircraft that replaced the F - 102 Delta Dagger in the United States Air Force . It was used until 1998 . Description . The F - 106 began development as an improved version of the F - 102 Delta Dagger all - weather interceptor . Originally known as the F - 102B , extensive structural and system changes resulted in the aircraft being redesignated as an F - 106 . The delta wing remained substantially unchanged , but the fuselage was modified to accommodate more powerful Pratt & Whitney J - 75 turbojet . Engine intakes were re - located behind the cockpit and were variable for optimum engine performance at all speeds . The cockpit was moved forward relatively , and the shape of the fin and rudder changed . A new undercarriage was fitted , with steerable twin nose wheels . First flight was December 26 , 1956 , and delivery began to Air Defense Command units in July 1959 . The F - 106 attained initial operational capability with ADC in October 1959 . The F - 106 remained the mainstay of the U . S . ' s air defense until 1988 when the last Delta Darts were withdrawn from service . The F - 106 was fitted with the sophisticated Hughes MA - 1 electronic and fire control system and worked in conjunction with the SAGE ( Semi - Automatic Ground Environment ) defense system . The MA - 1 took over control of the plane shortly after takeoff and guided it to the proper altitude and attack position . The system would then lock on and fire the F - 106 weapons at the intruder aircraft , and return the plane to the vicinity of its air base , where the pilot took over control for landing

Brixia Model 35 The Brixia Model 35 was an Italian small - sized , rapid firing light mortar of World War II . Description . The Brixia light mortar is a 45 mm calibre light mortar mounted on a legged base and designed for operation by two crew . The rear legs are fitted with a pad for the gunner to lay forward on behind the mortar , or sit upon when the situation allowed . A lever allowed for operating the breech and firing the weapon , while ammunition was fed in by the loader . Well trained teams could reach up to 18 rounds per minute , although operational rate of fire was less intense to avoid damage to the firing tube . One interesting feature which set the Brixia mortar apart from comparable WW2 weapons was that it was trigger fired with the help of separate ignition cartridges to be fed into a special magazine , making the weapon more similar to modern cannon - mortars that conventional parabolic grenade launchers of the time . The Brixia was a complicated weapon and it was costly and lengthy to produce , but , in the hand of skilled operators was superior to other WW2 mortars and could lay down very precise and intense curtains of fire . One lacking feature , however was in the shells , which fragmented poorly and , due to the limited calibre had a very light and low - yield warhead . The weapon , however served on every front where Italian troops were involved ( North Africa , Balkans , East Africa , Southern Russia ) and was also employed during defence of the homeland against invading allied troops and during clashes between RSI formations and Italian partisans , on both sides , due to many Italian partisans having a former military background it was one of the few support weapons which could be found in the hands of the local Resistance .

Stonefish ( mine ) The Stonefish influence mine is manufactured by a British company ( BAE Systems ) . Originally , the weapon was supplied to the Royal Navy , but it has also been exported to friendly countries such as Australia , which has both warstock and training versions of Stonefish . There has been conjecture that South Africa , Chile , Iraq , Libya and possibly other countries may have gotten access to either some early Stonefish information or to similar technology . The mine is named after the venomous fish of the same name . Design . Stonefish mines generally have two suspension lugs in order to facilitate handling operations e . g . winching . They can be deployed by fixed - wing aircraft , helicopters , surface vessels and submarines . It is a cylindrically shaped , modular weapon , comprising three separate sections which are joined together to form one unit : Versions . There are four different versions of the Stonefish mine , only one of which is intended for use in combat . The other three versions are intended for training or target acquisition purposes . These are : Employment parameters . Two sizes of Stonefish explosive warhead are available for warstock mines , and . However , the destructive power of a Stonefish mine can be adjusted by coupling multiple warheads together in different combinations . In this way , a Stonefish mine can have a warhead which weighs 100 , 200 , 300 , 400 , 500 or 600 kg . The ability to change the warhead size allows Stonefish to be deployed against small targets in shallow coastal waters or against large targets in deep ocean . Depending on the warhead configuration , a Stonefish mine can have a total weight of up to . The physical measurements of a Stonefish mine are such that it can easily be loaded into the torpedo tubes of submarines , then deployed using a small charge of compressed air to expel it . Alternatively , if an optional air - drop kit is fitted it can also be deployed by maritime patrol aircraft such as the P - 3 Orion ( connected to the aircraft via suspension lugs and an arming lanyard ) its descent to the ocean surface slowed by a parachute retard pack . The computerised exploder in a Stonefish mine is microprocessor - based . It features acoustic , magnetic and water pressure displacement target detection sensors . The DSP circuitry includes such features as the ability to set thresholds regarding the signal strength and adjust sterilisation delay times . A portable electronic presetting kit can be used to reprogram the mine ( e . g . uploading a new library of acoustic target signatures or increasing the arming delay from one hour to 10 days ) before the mine is deployed . The operating depth of Stonefish ranges between . Its shelf life is 20 years , and it has an operational lifetime of 700 days after being deployed on the seabed . Stonefish incorporates arming delays , ship counting and self - sterilisation features which can be configured by the user .
