Underwater speed record In 1968 there was an incident when a Russia n November class submarine tracked an American carrier group traveling at 31 knots ( 57 km / h or 36 mph ) . This led the United States Navy to develop the Los Angeles class submarine s , whose reported speed is 30 - 32 knots . There are established reports and manufacturer ' s claims that would indicate two ( or perhaps more ) submarines are capable of speeds exceeding 30 knots . In 1965 the USS Albacore reported a speed of 33 knots ( 61 km / h or 38 mph ) but this was not an official record . The Akula class submarine ( Russian word for Shark ) class vessel is reportedly capable of travelling submerged at 35 knots ( 65 km / h or 40 mph ) , its predecessor , the Alfa class submarine , could attain short speed bursts of 40 - 45 knots while submerged . There are claims that the Russian titanium submarine K - 162 reached 44 . 7 knot on trials , fully submerged , in 1969 . However , due to the rather secretive nature of these vessels , confirmations of these numbers are not present . The British Spearfish torpedo designed to counter high speed Russian submarines , such as the Alfa class submarine , is reputed to have a speed in excess of 70 knots ( 130 km / h or 80 mph ) . The Russian rocket - powered supercavitating torpedo VA - 111 Shkval is reportedly capable of speed in excess of 200 knots ( 370 km / h or 230 mph ) . German press reports of an underwater anti - torpedo missile named Barracuda that allegedly reaches 800 km / h . The U . S . Navy has contracted with the General Dynamics Electric Boat Division to support development of the Underwater Express , an undersea transport capable of controllable speeds up to 100 knots ( 185 km / h ) through supercavitation .
Richard Sawkins Richard Sawkins or Hawkins ( died May 22 , 1680 ) was a British buccaneer who participated in the Pacific Adventure , a privateering expedition headed by Captain John Coxon . Although little is known of his early life , Sawkins was captured by HMS " Success " and later imprisoned in Port Royal while awaiting trial for piracy as late as December 1 , 1679 . He was apparently released however as he is later recorded commanding a small 16 - ton vessel with a crew of 35 men and one gun . Along with Peter Harris , he joined up with Captain John Coxon ' s privateering expedition near Bocca del Toro in late - March and was one of 330 buccaneers who landed on the coast of Darien with Coxon and Bartholomew Sharp . Marching overland through the jungle , Sawkins participated in a surprise attack and looting of Santa Marta , later crossing the isthmus in Indian canoes , and sailing down the Santa Maria River eventually making their way to the Pacific Ocean . Arriving with his own group soon after , flying a red flag with yellow stripes , Sawkins soon captured two small Spanish vessels before sailing with his group towards Panama City . As they neared the city , Sawkins encountered a Spanish fleet of eight ships and , after a fierce battle , Sawkins was celebrated by his crew for his bravery and skill in their victory in what was later known as the Battle of Perico . However , some of the party began arguing amongst themselves , and John Coxon eventually left the expedition with his seventy men and returned across the isthmus on foot . With the departure of Coxon , the remaining privateers elected Sawkins as head of the expedition while Sharp was out on a separate voyage . After his victory over the Spanish fleet , Sawkins sailed towards Panama City and blockaded the harbor . Forced to negotiate with Sawkins , the Governor of Panama demanaded to know Sawkins intentions . Sawkins responded by demanding five hundred pieces of eight for each of the crew , and a further one thousand for each of his officers . In addition to this , Sawkins also demanded an end to the harassment and exploitation of the local native tribes . He later learned that the Bishop of Santa Martha , who had been Sawkins ' prisoners five years earlier , was present in the city and sent him a present of two loaves of sugar . Although he received a gold ring from the Bishop , he received no response from the governor and the crew , soon growing restless , eventually persuaded Sawkins to abandon his blockade and continued sailing south along the coast . Landing with a party of sixty men , Sawkins led an attack against the town of Puebla Nueva on May 22 , 1680 . However , having prior knowege of the privateers ' presence in the area , three well - fortified breastworks had been constructed by the time of his arrival . Despite having lost the element of surprise , Sawkins continued his attack on the town and was killed by a musket - ball while at the head of his men .
National Intrepid Center of Excellence The National Intrepid Center of Excellence ( NICoE ) is a Department of Defense organization working to advance the clinical care , diagnosis , research and education of military service members with traumatic brain injuries ( TBI ) and psychological health ( PH ) conditions . While its sister organization , the Center for the Intrepid , treats amputee and / or burned service members , the NICoE provides diagnostic evaluations and treatment of complex TBI and PH conditions to promote physical , psychological and spiritual healing . The primary patient population of the NICoE is active duty service members with TBI and PH conditions who are not responding to conventional therapy . After being referred by their military health care provider and accepted into the treatment program , the service member goes to the NICoE for two to three weeks , where they will stay in a NICoE - dedicated Fisher House on the Bethesda campus . A spouse or other family member may stay with the service member during the time of treatment . Service members return to their duty station or referring military treatment facility upon the completion of their time at the NICoE with a personalized treatment plan aimed at helping them return to active duty . The facility , located on the campus of the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda , Md . , was built by the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund using $ 65 million in private donations , then transferred to the Department of Defense on June 24 , 2010 .

Battle of Kępa Oksywska The Battle of Kępa Oksywska took place in the Oksywie Heights outside of the city of Gdynia between September 10 and September 19 , 1939 . The battle , fought by the Polish Army and the German Wehrmacht , was part of the Polish September Campaign during World War II . It was one of the bloodiest battles of the campaign , with Polish KIA losses reaching roughly 14 % of all the forces engaged . The battle . German advance on Gdynia . On September 10 , after a series of skirmish es in the vicinity of Reda at the western outskirts of Gdynia , the Polish commander of the Land Coastal Defence forces , pułkownik Stanisław Dąbek , was in a difficult position . His forces , centred around the port of Gdynia , were forced to wage a two - front war against the German forces advancing both from the west and from the territory of the Free City of Danzig . The main part of his forces was facing the German forces under General der Flieger Leonhard Kaupisch , advancing from the east along the shores of the Gdańsk Bay . At the same time a smaller detachment of the Polish forces prepared a stand in the area of Oksywie , where the German forces managed to cut the Poles out of the nearby Hel Peninsula . Thus Gdynia was besieged . Positional fighting . Although the Polish forces managed to halt the German blitzkrieg and the fights resembled those of World War I on the western front , the besieged garrison was suffering heavy losses and was in desperate need to shorten its front line s . As there was no chance of relief of the besieged Polish forces by a strong force from the Polish mainland , the Heights offered a decent defensive position . Although completely unprepared for defence , the area was densely forested and made enemy penetration and aerial and naval bombardment much more difficult . Polish withdrawal to Oksywie Heights . In order to spare the city from destruction in the effect of the probable urban combat , on September 12 Col . Dąbek ordered all of his forces to withdraw to Oksywie Heights to the north - east of the town , thus abandoning Gdynia . Until September 14 all Polish forces , by then reduced to roughly 9 , 000 servicemen , gradually withdrew to the area , along with up to 140 HMGs , 14 mortars , 23 pieces of artillery and a large number of civilian refugees . Amassed in the area no greater than 4 km² , the Poles were able to inflict heavy losses on the numerically and technically superior enemy . Until September 19 there were no less than 110 skirmishes fought in the area of less than 4 square kilometres . Cease - fire . However , finally constant aerial bombardment and lack of supplies and reinforcements forced Col . Dąbek to order a cease - fire on September 19 . By then the Polish casualties reached roughly 2 , 000 dead and additional 7 , 000 wounded , as there were hardly any unwounded soldiers . Col . Dąbek then committed suicide .
