Captain Death was in command of the " Terrible " , a ship equipped with twenty - six carriage guns , and manned with 200 sailors . On 23 December 1756 , the " Terrible " engaged the " Alexandre le Grande " , a large French ship sailing from Saint - Domingue . The " Alexandre le Grande " was captured , but 4th Lieutenant John Death , Captain Death ' s brother , died in battle , and 16 other men were lost . Captain Death assigned 40 men to secure the French ship , and they made for Plymouth , England . As the ships entered the English Channel on 27 December , they met the French " Vengeance " , a privateer from Saint - Malo , with 36 large cannon and 360 men . The " Vengeance " sailed towards the " Terrible " under an English ensign , but hoisted the French colours when she came near , sailing between the faster " Terrible " and the slower " Alexandre le Grande " . The French retook the " Alexandre " and doubled up on the " Terrible , " which lost her main - mast in first broadside . When the battle ended , the French commander , his second in command , and 2 / 3 of his company were lost . The French boarded the " Terrible " and found only 26 men alive , 16 of whom were severely wounded . John Withy , the 3rd Lieutenant of the " Terrible " and a survivor of the battle , claimed that Captain Death initially survived the battle , but was shot after he had struck the colours . His body was tossed into the sea . The badly damaged " Terrible " was towed to Saint - Malo . When word of the battle reached England , funds were raised for William Death ' s widow , as well as the survivors . Captain Death ' s battles against the French were cited as examples of English courage against superior odds .

Gibbsboro Air Force Station Gibbsboro Air Force Station is a closed United States Air Force General Surveillance Radar station . It is located south - southeast of Gibbsboro , New Jersey . It was closed in 1994 by the Air Force , and turned over to the Federal Aviation Administration ( FAA ) . Today the site is part of the Joint Surveillance System ( JSS ) , designated by NORAD as Eastern Air Defense Sector ( EADS ) Ground Equipment Facility . History . What would eventually become Gibbsboro AFS was established in March 1957 as an unmanned " Gap Filler " site , designated P - 9A for Highlands Air Force Station , New Jersey , configured with an AN / FPS - 14 radar . It was the first Gap Filler site in the nation . In 1960 , the United States Army established Army Air Defense Command Post ( AADCP ) PH - 64DC for Nike missile command - and - control functions at Pedrickstown Army Installation . The site was an AN / FSG - l Missile - Master Radar Direction Center . In a fund - saving consolidation , the Air Force moved the 772d Radar Squadron ( SAGE ) from Claysburg Air Force Station , Pennsylvania , to this Army long - range radar site , and inactivated the P - 9A gap - filler radar . The Army site was transferred to the Air Force , and renamed Gibbsboro Air Force Station . The site was redesignated as RP - 53 and began Air Force long - range radar operations on 1 May 1961 with AN / FPS - 66 and AN / FPS - 6 radars . The center initially fed data to the SAGE ( DC - 01 ) center at McGuire AFB . The radar squadron provided information 24 / 7 the SAGE Direction Center where it was analyzed to determine range , direction altitude speed and whether or not aircraft were friendly or hostile . On 31 July 1963 , the site was redesignated as NORAD ID Z - 63 . In addition , an AN / FPS - 27 radar was installed in 1963 , and the AN / FPS - 66 was retired in 1964 . In 1963 the site also used AN / FPS - 6 A and AN / FPS - 26 A height - finder radars . The site became an ADC / FAA joint - use facility around 1966 . Over the years , the equipment at the station was upgraded or modified to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the information gathered by the radars . The 772nd Radar Squadron continued operating the AN / FPS - 27 and AN / FPS - 26A radars until 1983 . The squadron was inactivated in 1984 . However , an AN / FPS - 117 became operational in 1986 under contractor support . This radar served as a prototype for units installed in Alaska . After shutdown in 1992 , this radar was moved to Murphy Dome , Alaska . Radar coverage for the Philadelphia area was assumed by the FAA ’ s site at Trevose , PA . Then , a portion of the Gibbsboro site was transferred to the FAA in 1995 for installation of an ARSR - 4 set , and the Trevose site was shut down . Today what was Gibsboro AFS has largely been disassembled . The FAA Joint Surveillance System ( JSS ) radar radome and a few old Air Force buildings is about all that remains . Among those buildings , the old Gap Filler support building from 1957 still stands .

NSC 162 / 2 The United States National Security Council document NSC 162 / 2 of 30 October 1953 defined Cold War policy during the Dwight D . Eisenhower administration – the New Look national security policy . NSC 162 / 2 stated that the United States needs to maintain " " a strong military posture , with emphasis on the capability of inflicting massive retaliatory damage by offensive striking power " " , and that the United States " " will consider nuclear weapons as available for use as other munitions . " " His statement was generally interpreted to mean that , if the Soviet Union or Communist China were to attack any country of the ' Free World ' , the United States would strike back with nuclear weapons - not necessarily in the theatre of war , but possibly in the Russian or Chinese heartlands . Such interpretations were subsequently strengthened , for example in an article by Vice President Richard Nixon in " The New York Times " on 14 March 1954 : " " Rather than let the Communists nibble us to death all over the world in little wars , we would rely in the future primarily on our massive mobile retaliatory power which we could use in our discretion against the major source of aggression at times and places that we choose . " " Only in April , Dulles made an effort to weaken the rhetoric in a Foreign Affairs article : " " It should not be stated in advance precisely what would be the scope of military action if new aggression occurred . . . That is a matter to which the aggressor had best remain ignorant . But he can know and does know , in the light of present policies , that the choice in this respect is ours and not his . " "
