BL 12 - inch railway gun The Ordnance BL 12 inch gun Mk IX on truck , railway mounted surplus 12 inch Mk IX W naval guns , manufactured by Woolwich Arsenal in 1906 , on various railway platforms to provide mobile long - range heavy artillery on the Western Front in World War I . History . Vickers mounted 2 Mk IX W guns on slightly different railway mountings , Mk I , from September 1915 . They are both identified by the open - frame appearance , recoil buffers above the barrel and the bogies with frames between the wheels similar to locomotive bogies . One mounting has a distinctive diamond - shape from the side and has a warping winch on the front ; the other ' s carriage has a more squared - off profile with no warping winch at the front . Elswick Ordnance Company ( Armstrongs ) mounted 2 more on its own design of Mk II railway mounting , delivered to the Western Front in August 1916 . They are identified by the boxed - in frame appearance , recoil buffers below the barrel and the bogies with frames outside the wheels . Design . The gun cars allowed only 1° left and right traverse , achieved by pivoting the entire gun car body about the forward bogies , in the two Vickers carriages , or about the rear bogies in the Armstrong carriages . Like most railway guns in the war it was operated on specially - constructed curved sections of track and moved forward or backward to point it at a new target . Fine adjustment could then be achieved by onboard traversing , which at the gun ' s maximum range covered an arc of about 1 , 000 yards . The initial shock of firing was absorbed by a hydro - spring mechanism , allowing 34 inches of recoil within the gun mounting . The remaining recoil energy was absorbed by allowing the entire railway wagon to roll backwards 40 feet ( Vickers carriage ) or 3 - 4 yards ( Armstrong carriage ) against locked brakes . This " rolling recoil " system allowed the gun to be operated without the need to construct a pit with a strong static platform below the gun for it to recoil into and to allow transmission of all the recoil force directly to the ground as was typical of many large US and French railway guns . Combat service . At the end of World War I , the dispositions of the guns on the Western Front were : 1 gun of 92 Battery and 1 gun of 543 Battery with First Army i . e . Artois ; 1 gun of 92 Battery with Third Army i . e . Somme ; 1 gun of 543 Battery with Fourth Army i . e . Somme .

Datis " For other uses of the word Dati , see Dati ( disambiguation ) . " Datis or Datus was a Median admiral who served the Persian Empire , under Darius the Great . He is most notable for his joint leadership with Artaphernes of the Persian forces in the first campaign of the Persian Wars against the Greeks . Datis was one of the Persian commanders responsible for the siege of Naxos and the sacking of Eretria in 490 BC along with the infamous Persian Immortals . He was also leader of the Persian assault force on the Athenians at the Battle of Marathon in the same year . Ctesias of Cnidus relates that Datis was slain at Marathon and that the Athenians refused to hand over his body , however this conflicts with Herodotus ' earlier analysis that Datis survived the battle Datis was originally called to duty alongside Artaphernes for the Greek invasion because Darius I had decided to temporarily relieve Mardonius of military service due to an injury he suffered in the Thracian campaign . Datis is mocked in Aristophanes ' play " Peace " , where Trygaeus exclaims : Now is the time to sing as Datis did , as he masturbated at high noon , " Oh pleasure ! oh enjoyment ! oh delights ! "

Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Launch Complex 13 Launch Complex 13 ( LC - 13 ) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station , Florida is a deactivated launch complex used by Atlas rockets and missiles between 1958 and 1978 . It is the third - most southern of the complexes known as missile row , between LC - 12 and LC - 14 . With Complexes 11 , 12 and 14 , it featured a more robust design than many contemporary pads , due to the greater power of the Atlas compared to other rockets of the time . It was larger , and featured a tall concrete launch pedestal , and a reinforced blockhouse . The rockets were delivered to the launch pad by a ramp on the southwest side of the launch pedestal . LC - 13 was originally used for development test launches of the Atlas ICBM . Atlas B , D , E and F missiles were tested from the complex . Between February 1962 and October 1963 the pad was converted for use by the Atlas - Agena . The modifications were more extensive than the conversions of LC - 12 and LC - 14 , with the mobile service tower being demolished and replaced with a new , larger tower . LC - 13 was originally controlled by the United States Air Force . It was later transferred to NASA and then back to the US Air Force . On 10 August 1966 , Lunar Orbiter 1 was launched from LC - 13 . It photographed proposed landing sites for Apollo and Surveyor spacecraft on the Moon , and returned the first pictures of the Earth from lunar orbit . Several classified payloads , believed to include Canyon and Rhyolite satellites , were launched from LC - 13 for the National Reconnaissance Office . The last launch from LC - 13 was conducted on 7 April 1978 , using an Atlas - Agena . It was the most - used and longest - serving of the original four Atlas pads . On 16 April 1984 , Launch Complex 13 was added to the US National Register of Historic Places ; however it was not maintained , and gradually deteriorated . On 6 August 2005 the mobile service tower was demolished as a safety precaution , due to structural damage by corrosion . The structure was so unstable that it could not be safely dismantled , and had to be toppled by a controlled explosion before it could be taken apart while horizontal . This has since become the standard method of dismantling launch complexes at Cape Canaveral , and was used in the demolition of SLC - 41 , SLC - 36 and SLC - 40 . The blockhouse was demolished in 2012 .

Edmund was victorious in this particular battle , but ultimately failed to defend the lands inherited from his father . " Then collected he [ Edmund ] his force the third time , and went to London , all by north of the Thames , and so out through Clayhanger , and relieved the citizens , driving the enemy to their ships . It was within two nights after that the king went over at Brentford ; where he fought with the enemy , and put them to flight : but there many of the English were drowned , from their own carelessness ; who went before the main army with a design to plunder .

MCU - 2 / P Protective Mask The MCU - 2 / P is a gas mask used by the United States Navy and United States Air Force , adopted in the 1990s . It replaced the earlier M17 gas mask & M17A2 , and is itself scheduled to be replaced by the M50 Joint Service General Purpose Mask . The MCU - 2 / P features a single large lens and a side - mounted filter . A clear or tinted visor and protective hood are used in conjunction with the mask . Like the Army and USMC M40 mask , the MCU - 2 / P ' s silicon rubber facepiece was found to be susceptible to corrosion from blister agents , rendering it of little value on the battlefield . A second skin can be worn over this to prevent corrosion . MCU 2A / P . This is a related version with some extra features , such as a front microphone plug .

Chen - 5 bottom mine The Sinking - 5 ( Chen - 5 ) is a Chinese naval mine . It is a small bottom mine , like the Sinking - 4 bottom mine and Drifting - 2 drifting mine it was designed around the concept of People ’ s War of guerrilla warfare . It can be dismantled for easy transportation and reassembled just prior to being planted . Unlike the Sinking - 4 ( Chen - 4 ) bottom mine , this bottom mine cannot be used as part of other Chinese naval mine systems , but it does have the ability to incorporate the contact fuse , a feat that the Sinking ( Chen - 4 ) bottom mine lacks . Furthermore , Sinking - 5 ( Chen - 5 ) bottom mine is developed by Fengxi Machinery Factory ( 汾西机器厂 ) can also be used on land as part of booby trap s . The evaluation of this mine was carried out under combat conditions - these mines were deployed in Cambodia and Vietnam during the Vietnam War and the customers were satisfied with the performance , and as a result , the mine was considered an achievement and won a national award in 1978 .
