M60 The M60 ( Formerly United States Machine Gun , Caliber 7 . 62 mm , M60 ) is a gun slight 7 . 62 x51mm NATO , designated GPMG ( General Purpose Machine Gun ) that since its production has been in the service of the U . S . and other countries with support weapon to a squad or mounted on tanks , helicopters and other vehicles . Suffered over the years numerous updates and has been replaced by the FN MAG in various roles . Features . The M60 machine gun is an air cooled , gas operated and fires from an open breech . And arm by a belt of bullets and ammunition with 100 normally has a bipod . It is used mainly as a weapon to fire suppression and to target effective range in size and mounted on a tripod of 1100m to the target area and bipod weapon 800m , 600m point target , moving target of 200m . The doctrine of the U . S . Marine Corps says that the M60 has effective range of 1500m in the hands of an experienced shooter . When it was officially adopted in 1957 the M60 had many flaws in its construction . When tested on the ground was reasonably effective but in the course of the Vietnam war showed several problems . Among them was the fact that heavy , although the weapon of its kind among the lightest . The most common complaint of the soldiers was that the gun was unreliable , tended to jam and had other faults dirt when earned , which led the Israel Defense Forces do not want to take this weapon . The shot selector worked " backwards " , since the positions of fire and security were in opposite direction to the M16 and the Colt M1911 . If certain parts of the trigger group were poorly assembled , it was possible the gun shoot continuously acted after the trigger and there even after getting the finger . Also occurred from the cycle of extraction sheaths , jamming and consequently took the jam . The original model contained a grip that could get caught in carrier equipment and bring down the barrel , this party who was ousted by a button . There were also some problems relating to parts being too thin and can bend or break , and other pieces of easy wear , something that was avoided by building stronger parts . There was also the problem of pipe that , when it had to be changed due to high rates of fire and subsequent temperature rise had to be changed with gloves because his hands had to hold the pipe itself , and each barrel came with its own bipod which meant a partial dismantling of the gun barrel to exchange . These failures have led American troops to adopt the M1918A2 BAR for a few years as a weapon in support of the squadron . Variants . Over the years , the M60 has undergone several revisions to correct problems or to adapt the gun to vehicles .
Parap Airfield Parap Airfield was the civilian airport / aerodrome at Parap a suburb of Darwin , Northern Territory , in Australia between 1919 and 1946 . It was also known as " Darwin Aerodrome " and " Ross Smith Aerodrome " . History . The airfield was established in the suburb of Parap to act as the Australian Terminal as part of the 1919 England to Australia air race . The airfield operated as a combined airfield ( a civilian field and a military field ) . The Royal Australian Air Force ( RAAF ) sent No . 12 Squadron RAAF at the aerodrome in September 1939 after the declaration of war against Germany and in increasingly suspicion of Japanese imperialism . By early 1942 , the aerodrome was mainly used by the RAAF , although Guinea Airways retained a civilian presence . The Japanese bombed the aerodrome in a number of raids on Darwin during 1942 resulting in extensive damage to the town and hangar . The hangar was extensively damaged after suffering a direct hit and the damage can still be seen in the north - east corner fabric of the original steel frame . No . 34 Squadron RAAF was formed on 23 February 1942 at the aerodrome . No . 6 Communications Flight RAAF was based at the aerodrome from August 1942 and delivered mail and food supplies to army and RAAF outposts , as far afield as the Wessel Islands . In 1945 the Department of Aviation made RAAF Darwin available for shared civil aviation purposes and became Darwin International Airport and as a result , the civilian airport at Parap was closed down by the end of 1946 . Airfield details . The main runway was in the location of Ross Smith Avenue , in the suburb of Parap .
Bellerophon - class battleship The " Bellerophon " class was a class of three dreadnought battleship s that were built in the United Kingdom prior to World War I , and served in the Royal Navy during the war . The " Bellerophon " s were near carbon copies of the previous , with the exception of a second tripod mast . The lead ship , , was laid down on the same day of " Dreadnought " s final completion , which was also built at Portsmouth Dockyard . Design . Changes to the hull gave a more complete internal protection and allowed the larger ships to make the same speed with the same powerplant . While " Dreadnought " had bulkheads that protected only the magazines , the " Bellerophon " s had complete bulkheads running longitudinally through the ship . The 12 - pounder guns that had been added to " Dreadnought " for protection from torpedo boat s were recognised as being insufficient and their secondary armament was made up of guns . A mainmast added ahead of the aft funnel was still affected by the plume of the fore funnel and was not considered a success . These changes did require some compromises in the design resulting in thinner armour , reducing the belt armor from 11 to , and a reduced coal bunkerage , which limited the steaming endurance . General characteristics . The " Bellerophon " s design was virtually identical to that of the preceding , with some minor improvements . The tripod foremast , which on " Dreadnought " was behind the forward funnel , was positioned in front of the forward funnel so that lookouts stationed on the observation platform could be out of the smoke plume . A second tripod mast was placed in front of the second funnel . The ships of the " Bellerophon " class were long . They had a beam of , a draught of , and normally displaced 18 , 800 tonnes with a maximum displacement of 22 , 102 tonnes . Propulsion . The " Bellerophon " class had the same propulsion design as the previous " Dreadnought " . The ships were powered by four - shaft Parsons turbine s in 18 coal - fired boilers . The ships ' powerplants delivered at a rated 23 , 000 shp . Armament . The " Bellerophon " s armament featured an improved second battery . Sixteen guns replaced the twenty - seven guns on " Dreadnought " . However , the main armament was the same having ten guns in five twin turrets .

Operation Cyber Condition Zebra Operation Cyber Condition Zebra is a network operations campaign conducted by the United States Navy to deny network intrusion and establish an adequate computer network defense posture to provide defense - in - depth and warfighting capability . The operation specifies that perimeter security for legacy networks will deny intrusions and data infiltration , that firewalls will be maintained through risk assessment and formal adjudication of legacy application waiver requests , and that legacy networks will be shut down as quickly a possible after enterprise networks ( such as the NMCI ) are established . Its name is an analogue of the term " material condition Zebra , " which is a standard configuration of equipment systems set on a warship to provide the greatest degree of subdivision and tightness to the ship . It is set immediately and automatically when general quarters is sounded .
