His record as oldest British veteran , at 111 years and 146 days , of any war was broken on 1 November 2007 by First World War veteran Henry Allingham . Biography . Ives was born at Brighton , England . The family worked for the Tidmarsh family . He worked in his father ' s work shop in Bristol until 1899 . That December , Ives was eager to enlist after hearing that the British had been defeated at Colenso , Magersfontein . In the Boer War , George fought with the Imperial Yeomanry , along with 122 other veterans , of the British Army in South Africa .

Single Class Surface Combatant Project The Single Class Surface Combatant Project is the name given by naval observers for the Royal Canadian Navy procurement project that will replace the and warships in the period beginning 2016 – 2017 as part of the National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy . The replacement vessels will be somewhat larger than the existing " Halifax " class , and presumably provide a wide - area air defence capability , anti - submarine warfare capability , as well as anti - shipping capability . History . The " Halifax " class frigates , often called the " City " class , are named after Canadian cities . There was a suggestion in the late 1990s and early 2000s that the replacement for the " Iroquois " - class destroyers would be named after Canadian provinces and would be significantly larger and more capable than a frigate ( the " Province " class ) , although this was never confirmed . As the 2000s drew to a close , it became more uncertain as to whether this class would ever be constructed . By the late 2000s , it became known that the Canadian Forces was seeking to build a single new class of frigates or destroyers to replace both the " Iroquois " - class destroyers and " Halifax " - class frigates under what the Royal Canadian Navy has called the Single Class Surface Combatant Project ( SCSCP ) . Originally the flight II " Halifax " - class ships , starting with , were to have been stretched about . It was speculated that the added space between the forward - mounted gun and bridgework were to have housed a small Mk . 41 VLS package with SM - 3 missiles during the Frigate Life Extension Project ( FELEX ) mid - life upgrade program . Budget cuts during delivery meant that the batch 2 ships were instead delivered identical to the earlier examples , which means there is no room for any significant upgrade during FELEX . The navy had investigated adopting the Active Phased Array Radar , leading observers to suggest that APAR and the associated SMART - L would equip the " Single Class Surface Combatant " or upgraded " Halifax " - class ships during the FELEX project . Upgrades to the existing " Halifax " - class with such a system would likely be difficult since the APAR requires its own mast and might make the " Halifax " - class design top - heavy . The Department of National Defence ( DND ) has not identified a procurement timeframe for the replacement of the " Iroquois " class ; however , it has been reported that design work is underway and a project office and personnel have been assigned . The " Iroquois " class was originally scheduled for retirement around 2010 after 40 years in service ; however , the remaining three vessels will have their service years extended until the replacement vessels are delivered . On 26 October 2012 a letter of interest was published by Public Works and Government Services Canada to announce a session in which interested firms could find out the needs of DND for the new class and the project in general . The closing date was 5 November 2012 .

Fort McGilvray Fort McGilvray was a United States military fortification located on Caines Head , a cliff 650 feet above Resurrection Bay south of Seward , Alaska . The United States Army established a series of defensive positions along the coast of the bay during World War II to defend Seward against a possible Japanese invasion . The bay was a strategically important location , as it remained ice - free throughout the year , and Seward served as the southern terminus of the Alaska Railroad , an important route for transporting civilian and military supplies throughout the territory . Defense of the bay prior to the war consisted of four mobile 155 - mm guns . The earliest constructions at Caines Head and South Beach along the bay were started on July 31 , 1941 . With the U . S . entry in the war , permanent mounts for the guns were constructed at Rocky Point , south of the site of Fort McGilvray . Plans were approved for three new batteries , two 6 - inch batteries , one 90 - mm gun , and numerous fire control and searchlight positions . Construction was hindered by the difficult terrain and winter season . By the end of 1943 , the battery at Lowell Point just south of Seward was completed and manned by troops .

In March 1943 , the installations atop Caines Head were named McGilvray after an Army officer who commanded Fort Kenay to the north in 1869 . After American and Canadian forces reclaimed Attu and Kiska islands in the Aleutian Islands Campaign between May and August 1943 , the Alaskan Department ordered the installations dismantled in March 1944 . Many of the constructions were not yet fully completed . The guns were disassembled and shipped to locations in South Dakota and San Diego and the buildings were abandoned . In 1971 , the Alaska Division of Parks was established to control recreational land . The Caines Head State Recreation Area was established with 1800 acres . In 1974 it was expanded by an additional 4000 acres . The first work in clearing the abandoned military roads began in 1984 . When workers reached the fort ' s site at the top of Caines Head they discovered the concrete buildings well - intact , with functioning doors and windows . Military and engineering experts consider it one of the most well - preserved sites in Alaska .
