USS Missouri ( 1841 ) The first Missouri , a 10 ‑ gun side ‑ wheel frigate , one of the first steam warships in the Navy , was begun at New York Navy Yard in 1840 ; launched 7 January 1841 ; and commissioned very early in 1842 Capt . John Newton in command . Departing New York at the end of March 1842 on a trial run to Washington , D . C . with sister ship , " Missouri " grounded opposite Port Tobacco , Maryland , 1 April , and did not arrive in Washington until the 13th . The warship made numerous trial runs out of the nation ' s capital during the spring and summer of 1842 , demonstrating the advantages of steam propulsion in restricted waters to the Government , and then departed for a long cruise to the Gulf of Mexico . The frigate returned to Washington 25 April 1843 and then underwent overhaul in preparation for extended distant service . On 6 August 1843 " Missouri " embarked the U . S Minister to China Caleb Cushing , bound for Alexandria , Egypt , on the first leg of his journey to negotiate the first commercial treaty with China . The same day the ship was visited by President John Tyler who came on board for a few hours ' cruise in Hampton Roads , observing the crew working the ship and the powerful twin paddlewheels in action . The President disembarked at Old Point Comfort , and the frigate steamed from Norfolk , Virginia , via Fayal in the Azores , for Gibraltar on the first powered crossing of the Atlantic by an American steam warship . " Missouri " arrived Gibraltar on 25 August and anchored in its harbor . On the night of the 26th , the engineer ' s yeoman accidentally broke a demijohn of turpentine in the storeroom which soon ignited . The flames spread so rapidly that the warship was abandoned , the crew barely escaping with their lives . Minister Cushing was able to rescue his official letter to the Daoguang Emperor of China , allowing him to later carry out his mission . In four hours , the steam frigate was reduced to a blackened and sinking hulk and finally at 03 : 20 in the morning of the 27th , the forward powder magazine blew up , destroying the still burning skeleton of the ship . British ship of the line assisted " Missouri " in fighting the fire and took aboard some 200 of her men . Sir Robert Thomas Wilson , the Governor of Gibraltar , threw open the gates of that base to " Missouri " survivors in an unprecedented act of courtesy which was recognized by a resolution of appreciation from Congress . The remnants of the once proud frigate , a hazard to navigation , were painstakingly removed by divers , piece by piece , from the shallow waters of the harbor .
Consolidated PT - 3 The Consolidated Model 2 was a training airplane used by the United States Army Air Corps , under the designation PT - 3 and the United States Navy under the designation NY - 1 . Development . Seeing the success of the Navy ' s NY - 1 modification of a PT - 1 airframe , the USAAC came to the conclusion that a radial engine was indeed ideal for a trainer . It was reliable and offered a good power - to - weight ratio . Therefore one PT - 1 airframe was completed as XPT - 2 with a 220 hp ( 164 kW ) Wright J - 5 Whirlwind radial engine . The XPT - 3 was almost identical with the XPT - 2 except for the tail , revised wing panels and different shape . One hundred and thirty production PT - 3 aircraft were ordered in September 1927 , with one being completed as the XO - 17 . These were followed by one hundred and twenty PT - 3A aircraft with minor changes . The XPT - 3 became the XPT - 5 when fitted with the Curtiss Challenger R - 600 two - row 6 - cylinder radial engine , but was soon converted to " PT - 3 " standard . The PT - 3 aircraft were superseded by the Boeing PT - 13 Stearman starting in 1937 , but a number were still operational with the Spartan Flying School in Tulsa Oklahoma into the middle of World War II .

45th Air Division The 45th Air Division is an inactive United States Air Force unit . Its last assignment was with Eighth Air Force , stationed at Pease AFB , New Hampshire . It was inactivated on 14 June 1989 . History . As the 45th Bombardment Wing , the unit was one of the primary B - 17 Flying Fortress heavy strategic bombardment wings of the Eighth Air Force 3d Bombardment Division in World War II . Groups from the wing began bombing operations against German occupied Europe on 14 September 1943 . Its bombers attacked targets in such German cities as Bremen , Emden , Kiel , Ludwigshafen , Munster , Saarbrücken , Schweinfurt , and Wilhelmshaven . In June 1944 the 45th supported the Allied invasion of Normandy , France , with tactical missions , against enemy airdromes , airfields , bridges , coastal defenses , field batteries , gun positions , and railway junctions . On 21 June 1944 , Colonel Archie J . Old Jr . , commanding officer of the 45th Combat Bombardment Wing , served as the task force commander of a shuttle bombing mission to the Soviet Union . The task force raided a synthetic oil plant just south of Berlin , and then proceeded to Poltava in the Soviet Union , where a large number of the 45th ' s bombers were destroyed on the ground during a raid by German bomber and fighter aircraft . The surviving bombers bombed an oil plant at Drohobycz , Poland , while returning from Poltava to Foggia , Italy . Shortly before the German surrender , in late April 1945 , the wing flew five " Chow Hound " mercy missions , dropping food and other supplies to the people in the still occupied western part of the Netherlands . After the German surrender on 8 May 1945 , it helped transport displaced Europeans back to their respective native countries . Reactivated an intermediate command echelon of Strategic Air Command in October 1954 , the 45th Air Division assumed responsibility for the training and combat readiness of its assigned units . It achieved this goal through staff assistance visits and supervising or participating in exercises such as Golden Hour Tango , Rubber Ball , and Sky Shield . Inactivated in June 1989 due to budget constraints and the reduction of forces after the end of the Cold War . Components . Wings Groups
Christmas tree ( aviation ) A Christmas tree was a type of alert area constructed by the Strategic Air Command during the Cold War . Oftentimes , bombers or tanker aircraft were stationed next to mole hole facilities . It received this name due to the fact that it looked like the tree of the same name . History . Before the development of the B - 52 Stratofortress , aircraft were parked on alert aprons at right angles . Due to the size of the aircraft , this created a problem in launching aircraft efficiently , requiring a different solution to be devised . To fix this , aircraft were repositioned in herringbone configurations , which then allowed the planes to pull out onto the runway as quickly as possible . This meant that the aircraft would be positioned at 45 degrees in relation to the center line . Two aircraft would be positioned on either side of the center line , with one being positioned furthest back . The success of this formation also led to the adoption of the setup for the KC - 97 Stratotanker . During an alert , airmen would run out of the mole hole and to their awaiting planes . There was no order to which planes would leave first , as whatever plane had their engines running first would be the first to leave . At this point , the aircraft would perform an elephant walk to the runway , which was typically located close to the Christmas tree , due to the need to launch the aircraft as quickly as possible . If the aircraft were to be launched as quickly as possible , then a MITO would be performed , in order to lessen the chance that the aircraft would be caught on the ground in the event of a nuclear strike . Although it is unknown how much each christmas tree cost to construct and maintain , the Christmas tree at Loring Air Force Base in Maine is estimated to have cost $ 400 , 000 when it was constructed between 1959 and 1960 .

Joseph Wortick Joseph Wortick ( 1837 – 1910 ) was a Union Army soldier during the American Civil War . He received the Medal of Honor for gallantry during the Siege of Vicksburg on May 22 , 1863 . Variant spellings of the surname are Wartick and Wertick . Union assault . On May 22 , 1863 , General Ulysses S . Grant ordered an assault on the Confederate heights at Vicksburg , Mississippi . The plan called for a storming party of volunteers to build a bridge across a moat and plant scaling ladders against the enemy embankment in advance of the main attack . The volunteers knew the odds were against survival and the mission was called , in nineteenth century vernacular , a " forlorn hope " . Only single men were accepted as volunteers and even then , twice as many men as needed came forward and were turned away . The assault began in the early morning following a naval bombardment . The Union soldiers came under enemy fire immediately and were pinned down in the ditch they were to cross . Despite repeated attacks by the main Union body , the men of the forlorn hope were unable to retreat until nightfall . Of the 150 men in the storming party , nearly half were killed . Seventy - nine of the survivors were awarded the Medal of Honor . Medal of Honor citation . “ For gallantry in the charge of the volunteer storming party on 22 May 1863 . ”
Special Emergency Response Team The Special Emergency Response Team ( SERT ) was the RCMP counter - terrorism unit which existed until 1993 . Its duties were then taken by the Canadian Forces in the form of Joint Task Force Two ( JTF - 2 ) . SERT was formed in the 1980s , but its history can be traced back to the Emergency Response Team ( ERT ) that took shape in 1976 as a hostage and rescue patrol unit ( HARP ) . The primary reason for the creation of the SERT team was that at the time neither the regional police SWAT teams , nor the ERT teams were properly equipped for counter terrorism activities . Members were drawn from the country ' s various ERTs and recruits were subjected to a physically and mentally grueling selection process . SERT was disbanded , reportedly , due to conflicts between the RCMP and certain agencies within the Canadian government about the lethal mandate of the team , and the RCMP ' s directive to save and protect life . During the transition between SERT and JTF2 , RCMP operators from SERT were used as subject matter experts and as members of the training staff . Training and handover of operations took place at Dwyer Hill . The RCMP still maintains a national network of special operations units called the Emergency Response Team , usually aligned with the Force ' s geographic divisions . ( i . e . , " F Division covers Saskatchewan ; " D " Division covers Manitoba . ) JTF - 2 now uses SERT ' s former training base near Ottawa at Dwyer Hill .

Royal Infantry of Albania The Royal Albanian Infantry ( ) was from 1928 till 1939 and was part of the Royal Albanian Army . Structure . The original plan was for the army to have three " infantry groups " ( = " Grupit Këmbsorisë " ) , each of three infantry battalions , three mountain batteries ( 2 x 65mm L / 17 ) , an engineer company and supporting elements such as transport , logistics and signals . Grupit I seems to have never been formed , but Grupit II and Grupit III did exist before 1939 , both headquartered at Tiranë . Apparently these were no longer constituted on April 7 , and the former commander of Grupit II had by that date become commander of Zona I . In 1939 only seven of the nine planned infantry battalions were active : Battalions were named for mountains A full - strength battalion ( = " batalion " , abbreviation " Baon . " ) documented partly by film footage , was organized as follows : Contrary to reports , there were no light machine guns at squad level . A reported strength of 21 officers , 37 NCOs and 422 corporals and privates was almost certainly the light establishment . A light establishment battalion had only two rifle companies with the third in cadre , and on paper its machine gun company had only two platoons , but in practice there were only enough machine guns in service for two platoons in any case .
