It has now been restored and forms part of the Phoenix Park Visitor Centre .

Short N . 2B The Short N . 2B was a prototype British patrol seaplane of the First World War , designed and built by Short Brothers . A single engined biplane intended to replace Short ' s successful Type 184 , only two were built , the Fairey III being preferred . Development and design . In 1917 , the British Admiralty released Specification N . 2B for a long range patrol seaplane to replace the Short Type 184 in Royal Naval Air Service ( RNAS ) service . The Short Brothers response to this specification , designated Short N . 2B was a single engined , unequal span biplane with two - bay folding wings . While Short ' s wanted to fit a Rolls - Royce Eagle engine , this was rejected by the Admiralty owing to an expected shortage of these engines , with the Sunbeam Maori substituted . Eight prototype Short N . 2Bs were ordered together with competing aircraft from Fairey ( the Fairey III ) . The first prototype flew in December 1917 . When it was tested at the Marine Experimental Aircraft Depot on the Isle of Grain in February 1918 , it showed performance no better than the Short 184 with the same engine . While modification with a different propeller and attempts to reduce drag did improve performance , the Fairey III was preferred , being ordered into production in versions powered by both the Maori and Eagle engines , with only the first two prototype Short aircraft being built . In May 1919 , Short ' s modified the second prototype with an Eagle engine salvaged from the modified Short N . 1B Shirl " Shamrock " , which had crashed during an attempt to cross the Atlantic , the revised aircraft showing greatly improved climb rate but with speed only increased by 8 mph ( 13 km / h ) . The Maori was re - instated , and the second prototype delivered to the Royal Air Force in January 1920 .

Wassef Ali Hassoun Wassef Ali Hassoun ( ; born January 1 , 1980 ) was a corporal in the United States Marine Corps who was charged with desertion for leaving his unit and apparently engaging with others in a hoax to make it appear that he had been captured by terrorists on June 19 , 2004 while serving in Iraq .

Fast Attack Flotilla The 4th Fast Attack Flotilla ( aka " Dvora Squadron " ) is a force element flotilla of the Sri Lanka Navy . The flotilla ' s mission is to provide heavily armed and fast patrol boat ( called fast attack crafts or FACs ) capability to counter sea tiger movements along the coast and to protect naval and civilian shipping from sea tiger suicide crafts . History . The flotilla was formed in the early 1980s with the Dvora class fast patrol boats to counter LTTE gun running in the Palk Strait from India . With escalation of the Sri Lankan Civil War the Sea Tigers began to poss a threat to the patrol boats of the Navy , with use of small fibreglass boats armed with machine guns . The flotilla was used as the primary offensive unit to counter these boats . When the Sea Tigers started to use boats for suicide bomber attacks on ships the unit was used for defensive operations too , such as escorting larger naval ships and civilian ships in coastal waters off the norther and eastern provinces of the country . Able to reach speeds of 45konts these FACs operate in pairs to counter sea tiger wolf pack tactics and also to defend each other against small suicide crafts that try ram them . Armament . Early Dvoras were armed with 2 - 3 machine guns as most patrol boats in other navies do . However during the progress of the war the armament on board FACs were increased considerably due to the increase of arms carried on sea tiger boats that ranges from heavy anti aircraft machine guns to rocket launchers . Currently all FACs have Typhoon 25 - 30mm stabilized cannon are installed as their primary armament , which can be slaved to state - of the art mast - mounted , day and night all weather long range electro - optic systems . This enables FACs to locate and target sea tiger boats at a greater distance , in all weather at high speeds . Newer FACs , specially Colombo class series III FACs are equipped with Elop MSIS optronic director and Typhoon GFCS as its own weapons control system . Also these crafts use surface search : Furuno FR 8250 or Corden Mk 2 ; I - band as its radar . In addition to its main armament they carry additional weapon systems such as Oerlikon 20 mm cannon s , automatic grenade launcher s , PKM general purpose machine gun s , including 12 . 7 mm and 7 . 62 mm machine guns . These act as both offensive and point defense weapons to protect the FAC from suicide crafts , by destroying them before they could ram or explode close to the FAC . Therefor compared with similar patrol boats of other navies SLN FACs are more heavily armed and faster . Organization . The flotilla is based at SLN Dockyard , Trincomalee , however boats operate out of all major harbors . Individual units come under the direct command of the Flag officer commanding that particular naval area it is assigned to .
