Bireme A bireme is an ancient oared warship ( galley ) with two decks of oar s , probably invented by the Phoenicians . Long vessels built for military purposes had relatively high speed , meticulous construction , strength , and depending on the number of rows of oars , were called " uniremes " , " biremes " , " triremes " , " quadriremes " , etc . Description . The name bireme comes from " bi - " meaning two and " - reme " meaning oar . It was typically about long with a maximum beam width of around . It was modified from the penteconter , a ship that had only one set of oars on each side , the bireme having two sets of oars on each side . The bireme was twice the triaconter ' s length and height , and thus employed 120 rowers . Biremes were galley s , galleasses , dromons , and small pleasure crafts pamphyles . The next development , the trireme , keeping the length of the bireme , added a tier to the height , the rowers being thus increased to 180 . It also had a large square sail . Uses . These ships were frequently used by the Romans , as during the second of Caesar ' s invasions of Britain . The bireme eventually evolved into the trireme . A unit commandant ( who was given a tent on the open deck ) directed a group of marines . The bireme was recorded in ancient history on 8th - century Assyrian reliefs . Medieval galleys are also described as " bireme " or " trireme " depending on the number of their banks of oars . The terminology can lead to confusion , since the terms are also used for rowed warships of the Greco - Roman period built on entirely different design principles . Dimensions and development . In 1275 Charles of Anjou king of Sicily , issued an order for the construction of several galleys that provide the earliest evidence for the dimensions of the bireme galleys . Because of increased weight and breadth , which brought increased friction through the water , a trireme galley was not dramatically faster than a bireme . But the change to trireme produced more significant developments than a gain in tactical speed over short distances . Early bireme galleys escorted merchant ships but were rarely used to carry goods . A few Genoese freight contracts of the mid - 13th century record charters for bireme galleys .

Common Remotely Operated Weapons System ( CROWS ) The Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station ( CROWS ) , a remotely operated weapon mounted on top of a vehicle and controlled from a command center inside the vehicle , offers a solution to some of the hazards the gunners face as they patrol the main supply routes and alternate supply routes providing security and looking for improvised explosive devices in their area of operations . “ The Primary purpose of the CROWS is to get the gunner out of the turret where he is exposed to enemy fire and fragmentation and get him down inside the vehicle for protection , ” “ The advantages are obviously its optics , zoom and thermal capabilities . It ’ s able to see things a lot farther in advance . It ’ s excellent to have a thermal system mounted right on the vehicle to use at night or in daytime , ” The guns cost $ 260 , 000 each and can mount a variety of lethal weapons . Over 50 sets are already operating in Iraq , out of 300 ordered for use with special forces , military police , infantry and transportation units .
EE - 3 Jararaca The EE - 3 Jararaca is an armored reconnaissance vehicle developed by Engesa at Brazil . It is a light vehicle on wheels for 4x4 patrol and reconnaissance . It was exported to some countries , but never operated in Brazilian Army . Description . The idea of producing a light armored vehicle 4x4 for the Brazilian Army wasn ' t new , it dates from the early ' 70s , when the idea first emerged in the Regional Park of mechanization of the 2nd Military Region of São Paulo . It would be a way to replace the old Jeep as a vehicle for exploitation in the mechanized cavalry units , given their vulnerability and total absence of shielding . Thus arises the design called EE - Jararaca 4x4 . As the company ENGESA had started another project whose implementation was already in the process of building a prototype , called Brazilian Armored Car ( which should be the replacement of the old M8 Greyhound , from the Second World War ) , the project EE - 3 jararaca ended up not going ahead , for the simple reason of being a 4x4 and the Army wanted a 6x6 , a result of that learning , giving rise to a new project , building a prototype , which was later produced in series in partnership with the private company Engesa S / A , became an industry icon of defense material known under the name Brazilian EE - 9 Cascavel . The success of the vehicle ( EE - 9 Cascavel ) within Army units and its market acceptance , international made it very difficult to accept a 4x4 light armored vehicle , and somehow this is affecting us until this day , although some companies have made 4x4 wheeled armored none have been approved and purchased . The idea was to produce a vehicle ( EE - 3 Jararaca ) of great mobility , 4x4 , equipped with machine guns outside 7 . 62 mm or 12 . 7 mm ( . 50 ) a revolving armored turret in its default configuration , equipped with four launchers of smoke grenades . Other versions may employ anti - tank missiles like Milan . The crew consists of driver , a commander and a gunman . The diesel engine was put back , and mechanical transmission of five speeds forward and one aft . Being extremely compact , its maximum weight was around 5800 kg , with a range of 700 km , with 140 liters of diesel , top speed of 100 km and can climb slopes of 60 % and maximum lateral inclination of 30 % , to overcome obstacles vertical 400 mm , and may go into beams of 800 mm . The mechanical parts of Jararaca were all derived from the national automotive industry , used in trucks , which facilitated the logistics of spare parts . Its engine was a Mercedes Benz . Like Engesa was well ahead of its time , it came to produce some new models , from Jararaca for export . The Brazilian army itself does not use any , though in possession of two prototypes , one for reconnaissance and for a chemical war . The concept is still current and would be a good utility for military and police forces in Brazil within the new reality of urban combat . However the Jararaca itself is not a good vehicle , and received several criticisms from countries that use it , as well as ENGESA ' s own engineers .
German submarine U - 704 German submarine " U - 704 " was a Type VIIC U - boat of the German " Kriegsmarine " during World War II .
