HMAS Barricade ( P 98 ) HMAS " Barricade " ( P 98 ) was an " Attack " class patrol boat of the Royal Australian Navy ( RAN ) . Design and construction . The " Attack " class was ordered in 1964 to operate in Australian waters as patrol boat s ( based on lessons learned through using the Ton class minesweeper s on patrols of Borneo during the Indonesia - Malaysia Confrontation , and to replace a variety of old patrol , search - and - rescue , and general - purpose craft . Initially , nine were ordered for the RAN , with another five for Papua New Guinea ' s Australian - run coastal security force , although another six ships were ordered to bring the class to twenty vessels . The patrol boats had a displacement of 100 tons at standard load and 146 tons at full load , were in length overall , had a beam of , and draughts of at standard load , and at full load . Propulsion machinery consisted of two 16 - cylinder Paxman YJCM diesel engines , which supplied to the two propellers . The vessels could achieve a top speed of , and had a range of at . The ship ' s company consisted of three officers and sixteen sailors . Main armament was a bow - mounted Bofors 40 mm gun , supplemented by two . 50 calibre M2 Browning machine guns and various small arms . The ships were designed with as many commercial components as possible : the " Attack " s were to operate in remote regions of Australia and New Guinea , and a town ' s hardware store would be more accessible than home base in a mechanical emergency . " Barricade " was built by Evans Deakin and Company at Brisbane , Queensland , launched on 29 June 1968 , and commissioned on 26 October 1968 . Operational history . " Barricade " was transferred to the Indonesian Navy on 22 April 1982 and renamed KRI " Sigalu " . The patrol boat was listed in " Jane ' s Fighting Ships " as still operational in 2011 .
USS Bullhead ( SS - 332 ) USS " Bullhead " ( SS - 332 ) , a " Balao " - class submarine , was the very last US Navy ship sunk by enemy action during World War II , probably on the same day that the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima . She was the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for the bullhead ( any large - headed fish , especially the catfish , miller ' s thumb , and sculpin ) . Her keel was laid down by the Electric Boat Company of Groton , Connecticut . She was launched on 16 July 1944 sponsored by Mrs . Howard R . Doyle , and commissioned 4 December 1944 with Commander W . T . Griffith in command . Operations . " Bullhead " served in the Pacific Ocean theater of World War II . The war operations of " Bullhead " extended from 21 March to August 1945 during which time she completed two war patrols . Her area of operations included the Java Sea and South China Sea and the Gulf of Siam . First patrol . During the greater portion of her first war patrol " Bullhead " performed lifeguard services and on two occasions bombarded Pratas Island , China , damaging enemy radio installations . She also rescued three airmen from a downed B - 29 Superfortress following an air strike on the China coast . Second patrol . On her second patrol , in May and June 1945 in the Gulf of Siam and the South China Sea , " Bullhead " sank two small freighters , a schooner and a sub chaser totaling 1800 tons and damaged two more sub chasers and another small freighter , all in gun actions . Third patrol and sinking . On 31 July 1945 " Bullhead " left Fremantle to commence her third war patrol . Her orders were to patrol in a " wolfpack " with and in the Java Sea until 5 September and then head for Subic Bay in the Philippines . " Bullhead " reported on 6 August that she had passed through Lombok Strait . That was the last word received from " Bullhead " . On 12 August , " Capitaine " , planning to arrive on 13 August , ordered " Bullhead " to take position the following day in a scouting line with " Capitaine " and " Puffer " . Receiving no reply , " Capitaine " reported on 15 August , " Have been unable to contact " Bullhead " by any means since arriving in area . " Since the British submarines and " Thorough " , were in the same general area as " Bullhead " , and and passed through in transit at various times , it is difficult to determine precisely which of the many Japanese anti - submarine attacks was the one that sank " Bullhead " . However , one occurred on 6 August 1945 , when an Imperial Japanese Army Air Force 73Fcs ' s Mitsubishi Ki - 51 attacked with depth charge s . It claimed two direct hits , and for ten minutes thereafter , there was a great amount of gushing oil and air bubbles rising in the water . Since the position given is very near the Bali coast , it is presumed that the proximity of mountain peaks shortened " Bullhead " ' s radar range and prevented her receiving a warning of the plane ' s approach . 84 men were lost while serving on USS Bullhead during her service . Commendations . " Bullhead " received two battle star s for her World War II service .

Soviet submarine K - 56 ( 1965 ) K - 56 was a Project 675 ( also known by the NATO reporting name of Echo II class ) nuclear submarine of the Soviet Navy . Her keel was laid down by the Sevmash shipyard . She was commissioned into the Soviet Pacific Fleet . Collision incident . On 13 June 1973 , " K - 56 " had completed test launches of her SS - N - 3 Shaddock missiles in the Sea of Japan and was returning to port accompanied by the Kresta I class cruiser . She was carrying observers on board , including her Division Commander , Captain First Rank L . F . Suchkov , civilian technicians from Leningrad , and a team from her sister boat , " K - 23 " , that included her commanding officer , Captain Second Rank L . Homenko . These 36 guests were housed in the second compartment . At approximately 01 : 00 , the boat , running on the surface , rounded Cape Povorotny in Peter the Great Gulf . The navigation crew noted a surface contact on radar about 75 kilometers ( 40 nautical miles ) ahead , moving toward them at . Since that was the only contact , and it would be about two hours before the submarine and the contact ' s combined speeds would bring them near each other , the captain felt no concern . The boat ' s RLS " Albatross " radar set had been used at full power throughout the day for the missile launches and now needed maintenance , which required that it be placed in " hot standby . " The captain gave permission for the radar to be secured , and relied on the lookouts to spot any hazards . Two hours later , the radar was re - energized and four contacts were immediately detected . The operators became confused , attempting to plot courses for the contacts . Three minutes after the radar came on , lookouts spotted a ship ' s navigational lights . The bridge ordered evasive action , but two minutes later , the research ship " Academician Berg " , traveling at , struck " K - 56 " on the starboard side , tearing a four - meter hole through the hull into the first and second compartments . As the second compartment rapidly flooded , the officers within shut the watertight doors to prevent flooding the adjacent compartments . When the seawater flooded the battery well , many of the officers and civilians in the second compartment were killed by chlorine gas . The 22 sailors in the first compartment were able to fight the flooding and retain a pocket of air until " K - 56 " ’ s captain ran his boat aground on a sandbar . The next day , salvage ships lifted " K - 56 " from the sand bar onto pontoons , and towed her to dock . The investigating board ruled that the collision of " Academician Berg " with " K - 56 " was a " navigation incident with serious consequences . " A civilian expert from Leningrad , 16 officers , five warrant officers , and five sailors were killed .
Dual - Purpose Improved Conventional Munition A Dual - Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions ( DPICM ) is an artillery or surface - to - surface missile warhead designed to burst into sub - munition s at an optimum altitude and distance from the desired target for dense area coverage . The sub - munitions are designed for both antiarmor and antipersonnel attack . Some sub - munitions may be designed for delayed reaction or mobility denial ( mines ) . The air - to - surface variety of this kind of munition is better known as a cluster bomb . They are banned in some countries under the Convention on Cluster Munitions . US DPICM projectiles . Development work for DPICM projectiles began in the late 1950s , with the first projectile , the 105 mm M444 entering service in 1961 , though the submunitions were simple bounding anti - personnel grenades ( ICM ) . Production of the M444 ended in the early 1990s . The first true DPICM was the 155 mm M483 , produced in the 1970s . By 1975 an improved version the M483A1 was being used . The projectile carried 88 M42 / M46 grenade like dual purpose submunitions . The 155 mm M864 projectile entered production in 1987 , and featured a base bleed that enhances the range of the projectile , although it still carries the same M42 / M46 grenades . The base bleed mechanism reduces the submunition load to 72 . Work was budgeted in 2003 to retrofit the M42 / M46 grenades with self - destruct fuzes to reduce the problem of " dud " submunitions . Work on 105 mm projectiles started in the late 1990s based around the M80 submunition . The results were two shells , the M915 intended for use with the M119A1 light towed howitzer , and the M916 , developed for the M101 / M102 howitzers . Uses . DPICM submunitions were developed for several reasons : Future . Due to the high failure rate of DPICM munitions and accuracy of GPS guided weapons , DPICM artillery shells and missiles have fallen out of favor with the U . S . military . As a result , the large quantities of munitions bought during the Cold War were put into war reserve stockpiles . However , most are now reaching the end of their shelf life and need to be disposed of . This means the warheads , which are now old and less stable , must be extracted . Instead of scrapping the leftover materials , the shells are being refilled with explosives , recycling them for use as inexpensive training ammunition . The U . S . Army is seeking a replacement of DPICM munitions from the Alternative Warhead Program ( AWP ) . The AWP warhead will have equal or greater effect against materiel and personnel targets , while leaving no unexploded ordnance behind . The program is being developed by Lockheed Martin and Alliant Techsystems .
Hanseatic Legion The Hanseatic Legion was a military unit , first formed of a group of citizens from Hamburg . They had met in 1813 on the instigation of General Friedrich Karl von Tettenborn , in order to fight in the War of the Sixth Coalition . This association of volunteers was joined immediately by volunteers from Hamburg ' s sister cities Bremen and Lübeck . The Legion should not be confused with the " Hamburger Bürgermilitär " ( Hamburg Citizen Militia ) . During their time of coexistence , the militia restricted itself to ejecting the French garrisons of Hamburg and the other Hanseatic League cities , whereas the " Legion " also participated in the rest of the campaign under Russian overall command . History . The Legion defended the Hanseatic cities against Davout ' s and Vandamme ' s troops until Tettenborn completed the raising of their sieges in the night of 29 / 30 May 1813 . The Legion and the Hanseatischen Bürgergarden went with Count Tettenborn and in Mecklenburg joined the Allied northern army under Wallmoden ' s command , later taking part in the fighting in the area around Mecklenburg and in parts of the Duchy of Schleswig . The members of the Legion returned to Bremen , Hamburg and Lübeck on 30 June 1814 , and all received the " Kriegsdenkmedaille der drei Hansestädte " ( War - Medal of the three Hanseatic - League cities ) in 1815 .

1998 Eskridge car accident Randall Eskridge was a Flight Equipment Technician in the Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 152 based out of Okinawa . On October 7 , 1998 , while driving drunk , he was involved in a fatal hit - and - run accident . His car struck Yuki Uema , an 18 - year - old Japanese high school student , who was riding her motorcycle home . After hitting her , Eskridge did not stop to help her . Uema was in a coma for a week and died from complications of her injuries . The incident followed upon the infamous 1995 Okinawan rape incident , where on September 4 , 1995 , three U . S . servicemen rented a van and kidnapped and raped a 12 - year - old 6th - grade Japanese girl . The Eskridge car crash caused an uproar in Okinawa due to the raw emotion in the Okinawan population after the rape incident , the fact the Marines refused to hand over Eskridge , and continued opposition to the American presence in Japan . Accident . Yuki Uema , 18 , was riding her motorcycle home at 4 : 30 on October 7 , 1998 , when she was knocked down by a hit - and - run driver outside Camp Zukeran , a U . S . military base north of Naha , Okinawa ' s capital . Eskridge was caught after an alert guard at Camp Zukeran ' s gate noticed heavy damage to the grille of his vehicle . Initially the Americans refused to hand over Eskridge . The SOFA agreement between Japan and America requires the accused to be handed over to local authorities only for a " heinous " crime . After much outrage and protest , he was finally handed over to the local police a week after the incident . The incident brought to light one of many grievances felt by the Okinawan people towards the US military presence . After the Padilla case , in particular , it was revealed that there were over a thousand car accidents a year involving US military personnel in Okinawa . Chalmers Johnson states that it wasn ' t until 1997 that American military - owned vehicles were required to have license plates , often making it impossible for hit - and - run victims to identify the vehicle that hit them . Trial . During the trial the prosecution said that Marine Cpl . Randall Eskridge committed a " malicious crime due to his low regard for human life , " seriously injuring Yuki Uema while driving under the influence of alcohol . ( In fact Yuki Uema died from her injuries . ) Eskridge was tried on charges of drunken driving , leaving the scene of an accident and professional negligence to cause injury . Even though he admitted his wrongdoing , the prosecutor told the court that the accused deserved a stiff penalty . In 1999 , Eskridge was sentenced to 20 months in an Okinawan jail .
