Upplands regemente ( signal ) Upplands regemente ( Uppland Regiment ) , designations Ing 3 , S 1 and S 1 / Fo 47 , was a Swedish Army signal regiment that traced its origins back to the 19th century . It was disbanded in 2006 . The regiment was garrisoned in Uppland . History . The regiment has its origins in the field signal ( later telegraphy ) company raised in 1871 and subordinated to Pontonjärbataljonen in 1875 . The company was redesignated as Fälttelegrafkåren and with designation Ing 3 ( 3rd Engineer Regiment ) in 1902 when it became independent . An aircraft squadron was created in 1916 and split from the unit in 1926 , this squadron would later become the Swedish Air Force . The unit was reorganised and renamed to Signalregementet with the designation S 1 ( 1st Signal Regiment ) when the signal troops became a separate arm in 1937 . A in 1915 detached company of the unit later became Norrlands signalregemente and another in 1944 detached company later became Göta signalregemente . It was renamed to Upplands signalregemente in 1957 and in 1974 to Upplands regemente . The same name was used by the infantry regiment Upplands regemente , although the signal regiment does not trace its origins from this regiment , even though the victory names were transferred to the signal regiment . In 1974 , the regiment gained the new designation S 1 / Fo 47 as a consequence of a merge with the local defence area Fo 47 . The designation was changed back to S 1 in 2000 when the defence area was disbanded . Upplands regemente was disbanded in 2006 but was replaced by Ledningsregementet which took the role that the regiment previously had .
Tersâne - i Âmire Tersâne - i Âmire was the Ottoman imperial shipyard , on the Golden Horn in Constantinople ( Modern Istanbul ) . Etymology . The word " Tersane " is derived from the Arabic " " dar al Sina ’ a " " - as is the Italian " Arsenale " . History . The shipyard was founded on the Golden Horn in 1453 , after the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople , and initially called the Galata Shipyard . In combination with other institutions such as the imperial arsenal ( Tophane - i Amire ) , the Tersâne - i Âmire may have given the Ottoman Empire one of the greatest military industries of early - modern Europe ; comparable to the Arsenal of Venice . In the 16th century it became known as the Tersâne - i Âmire and was greatly expanded , with 140 docks and a perimeter wall to keep prying eyes away from naval secrets ; it took over from the main shipyard at Gallipoli . From this time on , the Tersâne - i Âmire was at the heart of shipbuilding and naval governance in the Ottoman Empire . However , the shipyard suffered ups and downs with the rest of the empire . There were reforms and expansions after the Battle of Lepanto in 1571 ; in 1601 the shipyard had 3524 employees but this steadily fell to 726 in 1700 ; during this period an increasing amount of work was done by other shipyards . In the 18th century , corruption and decay led to the Ottoman navy being equipped with badly designed , leaky ships which were hard to sail ; this led to overwhelming defeat at the Battle of Chesme in 1770 . A new Kapudan Pasha ( Grand Admiral ) was appointed , Cezayirli Gazi Hasan Pasha ( who later became Grand Vizier ) ; he made sweeping reforms . By the reign of Abdülmecid I ( r . 1839 – 1861 ) , the Tersane - i Amire had fallen into neglect and underinvestment ; Abdülmecid started a massive investment programme which modernised not just the Tersane - i Amire but also shipyards in Izmit and Gemlik . Today the installations continue operations under the name of Haliç Tersaneleri ( The Shipyards of Haliç or " Golden Horn " ) . These shipyards comprise of 3 separate installations : The shipyards " Haliç " , " Camialtı " and " Taşkızak " . Operations . The shipyard was directed by an emin ; the Tersane Emini . Directors were typically assigned for two years , and were well paid , at 5000 akçe s . The secretary of the shipyard - the head of the accounting department - was also responsible to the defterdar ( a senior treasury officer ) . Records were kept in the merdiban system . Special accounts were kept for wood ( vital in all aspects of shipbuilding ) and also for slaves and convicts ( who were treated as a resource ; either working in the shipyard or oarsmen on the ships ) . The shipyard built and fitted out ships - everything from sails to beds to kitchen equipment - but armaments were produced by other organisations outside the shipyard . The shipyard even had its own accommodation and mosque . Many materials were bought in from other parts of the empire ; rope from Egypt , pitch from Thrace , ironmongery from Bulgaria .
French ship Commerce de Marseille ( 1788 ) The Commerce de Marseille was a 118 - gun ship of the line of the French Navy , lead ship of the " Océan " class . She was funded by a don des vaisseaux donation from chamber of commerce of Marseille . Built on state - of - the - art plans by Sané , she was dubbed the " finest ship of the century " . Her construction was difficult because of a lack of wood , and soon after her completion , she was disarmed , in March 1791 . " Commerce de Marseille " came under British control during the Siege of Toulon . When the city fell to the French , she evacuated the harbour for Portsmouth . She was briefly used as a store - ship , but on a journey to the Caribbean , in 1795 , she was badly damaged in a storm and had to limp back to Portsmouth . She remained there as a hulk until she was broken up in 1856 .

Milan Aćimović Milan Aćimović ( 1898 – 1945 ) was a Serbian politician and Axis collaborator . Aćimović was an attorney by profession . Prior to World War II he was chief of the Belgrade police and in 1939 he was briefly minister of interior in the pro - Axis Stojadinović government of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia . He was a dedicated anti - communist , and was pro - German , having been in contact with the German police before the outbreak of World War II . On 30 May 1941 , a few weeks after the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia , Aćimović formed the first puppet government in Serbia , called the Commissary Government . He was the leader of the government until 29 August of that year when it was dissolved . Aćimović ' s puppet government was replaced by another puppet government , the Government of National Salvation , headed by former general Milan Nedić . In this government , Aćimović served as minister of the interior . He was sympathetic towards the Chetniks of Draža Mihailović and maintained close contact with Mihailović . The Germans suspected that Aćimović warned Mihailović of the launching of Operation Mihailović , which was conducted over 6 – 7 December 1941 . The warning , apparently given the day before the offensive began , enabled Mihailović to escape . Despite these actions and the German ' s suspicions , Aćimović managed to stay on good terms with them , even meeting with Mihailović in March 1942 with German permission . On 10 November 1942 , Aćimović was replaced as minister of interior by Colonel Tanasije Dinić , who was seen as more anti - Mihailović than Aćimović . After his replacement and the expulsion of the Germans from Serbia in October 1944 , Aćimović acted as liaison between Mihailović and German Envoy Hermann Neubacher in Vienna . After the German administration in Serbia fell , Aćimović joined a Chetnik column . He was killed by Yugoslav Partisans at the Battle of Zelengora in May 1945 .

French Blimps operated by the USN Records concerning the history of French airships in US Navy service are fragmentary . A number of airship s of various classes were operated by the US Navy ( USN ) during World War I from the French Naval Base at Paimbœuf , which was designated a US Navy Air Station from 1 March 1918 onward . It appears that at least 13 French manufactured airships were operated by the USN from Paimbœuf ; six were eventually shipped to the United States and one was returned to France before the armistice . The Navy operated or ordered four Astra - Torres type airships , one T - 2 — the " Captain Caussin " , two CM types , and three or four VZ types . Astra - Torres blimps . The Astra - Torres airship was in length with a diameter of , and was powered by two engines . The USN operated AT - 1 , AT - 13 and AT - 17 . AT - 18 was ordered but cancelled . Missions were flown by the first two airships during the war and included training , convoy patrol , mine spotting , and anti - submarine operations . There is no record of flights in the United States by the three AT airships which were shipped to there after the armistice . AT - 1 was stricken from Naval records in July 1920 at the Naval Aircraft Factory ; AT - 13 was stricken in October 1920 at Hampton Roads , and AT - 17 was transferred to the US Army at Langley Field in October 1919 . Chalais - Meudon ( French State Airship Factory ) . The US Navy purchased the CM - 5 , which was completed after the armistice . The CM airships were long , in diameter and were powered by two 230 hp Salmson engines . The CM - 5 was shipped to Akron , where it was offered for sale . There is no record of the USN operating the CM - 5 . One engine car from the CM - 5 is in the New England Air Museum at Windsor Locks , Connecticut . The US Navy also operated a T - 2 type Chalais - Meudon airship " Capitaine Caussin " . The " Capitaine Caussin " was operated for training at Paimbœuf and Guipavas . It was shipped to Hampton Roads , but was not erected or flown after arriving there . Vedette Zodiac . The Zodiac Group built the VZ - 7 and VZ - 13 . Both were operated at NAS Paimboeuf before the armistice and flew combat missions . They were shipped first to Norfolk , and then Coco Solo , where they were scrapped in October 1919 . Zodiac VZ - 3 was operated by the USN at Paimbœuf during 1918 , but was returned to the French in September of that year . The Zodiac ZDUS - 1 and ZDUS - 2 were ordered by the Navy and shipped to the US . They were both apparently transferred to the Army , and one , the ZDUS - 1 , was operated by the Army at Langley , where the name was changed to ZD - 1 . The ZD - 1 was rebuilt as the RN - 1 at Scott Field in 1923 . A new envelope was provided and the two 250 hp Renault engines were replaced by Liberty engine s .
