Southern African Development Community intervention in Lesotho The Southern African Development Community ( SADC ) military intervention in Lesotho , codenamed Operation Boleas , was a military invasion of Lesotho in 1998 launched in the name of SADC and led by South Africa through its South African National Defence Force ( SANDF ) . Troops from Botswana were supposed to join SANDF forces when they crossed the border to quell a suspected coup d ' état . However , the Botswana contingent lost its way and only SANDF troops entered the landlocked kingdom of Lesotho . This led , after an incident at the Katse dam to rioting in the Lesotho capital , Maseru , initially directed at South African - owned businesses . But this soon spread and much of the centre of Maseru was severely damaged with shops and hotels looted and burned . Trouble began in March 1998 when parliamentary elections in Lesotho resulted in an overwhelming majority for the ruling Lesotho Congress for Democracy Party , which won 79 out of 80 seats . However , allegations of vote fraud soon surfaced , and after a failed lawsuit by the opposition parties , widespread rioting broke out and there was talk in August and September of a possible coup by Lesotho ' s small army . In September while President Nelson Mandela of South Africa was out of the country , Inkatha Freedom Party leader and then home affairs minister in the African National Congress - led government , Mangosuthu Buthelezi , acted in his place . It was he who took responsibility for ordering SANDF troops to lead a SADC " intervention " into Lesotho and some 700 South African troops entered Lesotho on 22 September . Mandela subsequently endorsed the decision and the invasion . South Africa was particularly keen to ensure control of the Katse dam in the Maluti mountains above Maseru and which provides much of the water for South Africa ' s major industrial region of the Witwatersrand . Looting and arson erupted , and it took several years to rebuild Maseru ' s town centre . SADC troops were pulled out in May 1999 .
Battle of Damme The Battle of Damme was fought on 30 May and 31 May 1213 . The success of the English raids ended a threat of French invasion of England . Damme is located on the estuary of the Zwyn ( now largely silted up ) , at that time in the county of Flanders ( now in Belgium ) . It was then the port of the city of Bruges . The English knew King Philip II of France was planning to invade England , at the very least as a way of preventing an English attack on Poitou . Meanwhile , Philip was in Flanders attacking Count Ferrand of Flanders . King John of England responded by sending a fleet to Flanders . This fleet had 500 ships , 700 knights and their attendants , and a large force of mercenaries , under the command of William Longespée , 3rd Earl of Salisbury . It left England on 28 May 1213 , and entered the estuary of the Zwyn two days later . There it found a huge French armada , 1700 ships heavily laden with supplies and the personal goods of the French barons . Most of the French army was away besieging Ghent , and so the fleet was only lightly guarded . The English immediately attacked , seizing 300 ships which were anchored or beached outside the harbour of Damme , and pillaging and burning a hundred more . The next day they attacked the rest of the ships as well as the town itself . This was a little reckless for King Philip had come with his troops from Ghent , and the English barely got back to their ships and away safely . They returned to England with the seized ships and a large booty ( the biographer of William Marshal claimed " never had so much treasure come into England since the days of King Arthur " ) . Not only was a good portion of the French fleet gone , but the harbour of Damme was blocked by debris , so King Philip had the rest of his fleet burned .

In 1939 , the Standarte was transferred to the jurisdiction of the newly established Oberabschnitt Alpenland also headquartered in Salzburg . By 1940 , many of the General - SS members in Austria had joined either the Waffen - SS , the Sicherheitspolizei or had been called up to serve in the regular German military for combat service in World War II .

This had a central platform and twelve radial struts that connected to an outer ring . In action the trails would be locked together and put on a small trolley that rode on the outer ring . Coarse aiming was by cranking the trolley back and forth while fine laying was done by traversing the gun on its mount , up to the 6° limit imposed by the closed trails . For transport it broke down into two loads , the barrel being removed and carried on its own wagon . A third wagon was necessary to carry the firing platform .

USCGC Vigilant ( WMEC - 617 ) USCGC " Vigilant " ( WMEC - 617 ) is a United States Coast Guard medium endurance cutter . She is the twelfth cutter to bear the name " Vigilant " , dating back to 1790 when the original " Vigilant " was built for the Revenue Cutter Service . She was commissioned on October 3 , 1964 , at Todd Shipyards in Houston , Texas at a cost of 2 . 3 million dollars . From 1964 through 1989 " Vigilant " was homeported in New Bedford , Massachusetts . In 1989 , she underwent an 18 month Major Maintenance Availability in order to modernize her capabilities . In 1990 , " Vigilant " , moved her homeport to Port Canaveral , Florida . " Vigilant " has just completed another yard period , updating her with the most modern electronic and engineering equipment available . Vigilant / Kudirka incident . On November 23 , 1970 , Simonas " Simas " Kudirka , a Soviet seaman of Lithuanian origin , leapt from the 400 - foot ( 120 m ) mother ship " Sovetskaya Litva " , anchored in U . S waters near Aquinnah , Massachusetts on Martha ' s Vineyard , aboard " Vigilant " , sailing from New Bedford , Massachusetts . The Soviets accused Kudirka of theft of 3 , 000 rubles from the ship ' s safe . Ten hours passed . After attempts to get the U . S . State Department to provide guidance failed , Rear Admiral William B . Ellis , commander of the First Coast Guard District , ordered Commander Ralph E . Eustis to permit a detachment of Soviet seamen to board the " Vigilant " to return Kudirka to the Soviet ship . This led to a change in asylum policy by the U . S . Coast Guard . Admiral Ellis and his chief of staff were given administrative punishment under Article 15 of the UCMJ . Commander Eustis was given a non - punitive letter of reprimand and assigned to shore duty . Subsequent investigations revealed that Kudirka could claim American citizenship through his mother and was allowed to come to the United States in 1974 . A book detailing the incident , " Day of Shame " , by Algis Ruksenas , was published in 1973 . The book helped spur further investigations into the incident that eventually led to Kudirka ' s release by the Soviets . It remains part of the reading curriculum in the U . S . Coast Guard Academy . The incident was portrayed in a 1978 television movie , " The Defection of Simas Kudirka " , with Alan Arkin playing Kudirka and Donald Pleasence playing the captain of the Soviet ship .
