The B43 was developed from 1956 by Los Alamos National Laboratory , entering production in 1959 . It entered service in April 1961 . Total production was 2 , 000 weapons , ending in 1965 . Some variants were parachute - retarded and featured a ribbon parachute . The B43 was built in two variants , Mod 1 and Mod 2 , each with five yield options . Depending on version , the B43 was 18 inches ( 45 cm ) in diameter , and length was between 12 ft 6 in and 13 ft 8 in ( 3 . 81 m and 4 . 15 m ) . The various versions weighed between 2 , 060 lb and 2 , 125 lb ( 935 kg to 960 kg ) . It could be delivered at altitudes as low as 300 ft ( 90 m ) , with fuzing options for airburst , ground burst , free fall , contact , or laydown delivery . Explosive yield varied from 70 kilotons of TNT to 1 megaton of TNT . The B43 used the Tsetse primary design for its fission stage , as did several mid - and late - 1950s designs . Delivery systems . Carrier aircraft included most USAF , USN and USMC fighters , bombers and attack aircraft , including the A - 3 Skywarrior , A - 4 Skyhawk , A - 5 Vigilante , A - 6 Intruder , A - 7 Corsair II , B - 47 Stratojet , B - 52 Stratofortress , F - 100 Super Sabre , F - 105 Thunderchief , F - 4 Phantom II , F - 104 Starfighter , FB - 111A strategic bomber variant , F - 15E Strike Eagle , F - 16 Fighting Falcon and the F / A - 18 Hornet .

The B43 was also supplied for delivery by Royal Air Force Canberra and Valiant aircraft assigned to NATO under the command of SACEUR . Broken Arrow . The B43 was never used in combat , but it was involved in a nuclear accident when an A - 4E Skyhawk , BuNo " 151022 " , of the USS Ticonderoga ( CVA - 14 ) ( from Attack Squadron VA - 56 ) , was lost off the coast of Japan on 5 December 1965 when it rolled off an elevator , in 16 , 000 feet of water in the Pacific Ocean , 80 miles from one of the Ryukyu Islands , Okinawa .

" Merrimac " was purchased in England for the Confederate government in 1862 . After a successful career as a blockade runner , she was captured by USS " Iroquois " off the coast of Cape Fear River , North Carolina , 24 July 1863 . Purchased by the Navy from New York Prize Court 10 March 1864 , " Merrimac " commissioned at New York 1 May 1864 , Acting Master William P . Rogers in command . After joining the East Gulf Blockading Squadron in June 1864 , she was ordered to cruise in the Gulf of Mexico . She captured Cuban sloop " Henretta " sailing from Bayport , Florida , with cotton for Havana . However , late in July yellow fever broke out among " Merrimac ' s " crew and she sailed north to allow her crew to recover . Upon arriving New York she debarked her sick sailors at quarantine , and got underway for a cruise in the northwest $ 3 as far as St . John ’ s Newfoundland . Early in 1865 " Merrimac " was reassigned to the East Gulf Blockading Squadron . She got underway for the gulf early in February , but encountered extremely bad weather which forced her to stop at Beaufort , North Carolina , on the 7th and at Charleston , South Carolina on the 12th . Underway for Key West the next day , " Merrimac " ran into still worse weather which she fought until turning north on the 14th to seek the first port . On the afternoon of 15 February 1865 , Acting Master William Earle ordered the crew to abandon ship after its tiller had broken , two boilers given out and the pumps failed to slow the rising water . That night , when the crew had been rescued by mail steamer " Morning Star " , " Merrimac " was settling rapidly as she disappeared from sight .

AVB - 7 . 62 The AB - 5 . 45 , AB - 7 . 62 , AVB - 7 . 62 , and LCZ B20 are a series of weapons developed by Russian small arms designer Anatoly F . Baryshev from the 1960s to late 1990s . The mechanism developed by Baryshev allows the latter two of these light weapons to fire full powered rifle ammunition and still be controllable in automatic fire . Due to its firing from an open bolt , they were all unreliable under adverse conditions and inaccurate in single shots which tended to unsuccessfully slam - fire , otherwise the weapon would have apparently worked well . Another variant , the LCZ - B20 was developed in cooperation with Czech company LCZ Group , chambered in 7 . 62x51mm NATO , but sales were unsuccessful and it was apparently dropped in the late 1990s . However , the LCZ B20 formed the basis of an improved reliable derivative , the ČZW - 556 assault rifle and the ČZW - 762 light machine gun alternative developed by ČZW .

Wyższa Szkoła Wojenna Wyższa Szkoła Wojenna ( English : War College — literally , " Higher War School " ) was the most important Polish military academy in the period between the World Wars . Located at Warsaw , it was established to train high - ranking officers of the Polish Army and of the armed forces of several allied states . It was a predecessor of Poland ' s present National Defense Academy ( Polish : " Akademia Obrony Narodowej " ) . History . After the rebirth of Poland in 1918 , there was already a well - trained and experienced cadre of Polish field officers trained in the armies of the partitioners ( Russia , Germany and Austria - Hungary ) as well as in France . However , the occupants of Poland rarely promoted the Poles to higher ranks and the reborn Polish Army was seriously lacking officers trained in general staff duties and in command of entire armies . To eliminate the problem , in cooperation with the French Military Mission to Poland and the Paris - based Ecole Superieure de Guerre , a Szkoła Wojenna Sztabu Generalnego ( " War School of the General Staff " ) was formed in mid - 1919 . After the Polish - Bolshevik War , on 16 August 1922 , the school was renamed to Wyższa Szkoła Wojenna ( WSW , " Higher War School " ) . Until 1928 , most professors were French , with Polish officers serving mostly as their assistants . Among them was Charles de Gaulle , the future president of France , who was a professor of tactics . The training was not limited to military affairs and among the civilians working there were some of the most notable scientists of the era , including Tadeusz Kotarbiński , Edward Lipiński and Marian Kukiel . Apart from the theoreticians , the professors included a large number of officers who gained combat experience in World War I , Polish - Bolshevik War , Polish - Ukrainian War and Polish - Lithuanian War , as well as the Greater Poland Uprising and Silesian Uprisings . Because of their experience , the school became prestigious and attracted many students from abroad , most notably from France , Georgia , Estonia , Latvia and even Japan . Among them were also the officers of the former Ukrainian army of Semen Petlura and White Russian emigrees . During the 20 years of its existence , the WSW trained more than 1300 officers of the Polish Army . Most of them repaid the debt for Poland during the Polish Defensive War of 1939 , while the majority of professors formed the staff of Poznań Army , the most successful of Polish Armies in the 1939 campaign . After Poland was overrun by Germany and the Soviet Union , the school was closed . However , on 11 November 1940 it was recreated in London . It trained the officers of the Polish Army in Exile , fighting alongside the Allies on all fronts of World War II . The professors were recruited from among the active officers of the Polish HQ and the students included many of the notable generals of the Polish forces in Exile . In addition , the school was the alma mater of all highest - ranking Czechoslovak officers of the exiled army . It was closed in 1946 , after the Allies withdrew their support for the Polish government .
