On 18 July 1622 , the Spanish general Ambrosio Spinola laid siege to the Dutch city of Bergen op Zoom . The population was divided between Protestants and Catholics , who favored a Spanish conquest . < br > Spinola tried a feigned manoeuver by sending a part of his army under Hendrik van den Bergh to Cleves , and an other part under Luis de Velasco to Steenbergen , which was consequently conquered by Velasco . But the city did not fall because it was supplied by sea . Furthermore , the Dutch Navy regularly bombarded the Spanish , causing many casualties . The young Michiel de Ruyter was one of these gunners . The Spanish , by now de facto led by Velasco , had to lift the siege on 2 October , as a result of the arrival of an army under the Dutch Stadtholder Maurice of Nassau , Prince of Orange and Ernst von Mansfeld . Maurice of Nassau and his army relieved the city on the next day . The siege cost Spinola 5000 troops .

USS Plunger ( 1897 ) USS Plunger , the first submarine torpedo boat to be built for the United States Navy , was authorized by the United States Congress on 3 March 1893 , designed by John P . Holland , a contract for her construction was awarded to Holland Torpedo Boat Company on 13 March 1895 . However , the boat and the contract were canceled in April 1900 . " Plunger " , was a 149 - ton experimental steam - driven vessel .

Vietnam Campaign Medal The Vietnam Campaign Medal is a military campaign medal of the former country of South Vietnam ( Republic of Vietnam ) . Established in 1966 , it was awarded to members of United States , Australian , and New Zealand military forces serving six months or more in support of Republic of Vietnam military operations . The medal was the most commonly bestowed foreign military award to United States Armed Forces personnel prior to the Gulf War . The Vietnam Campaign Medal may also be awarded to any service member who , while serving outside the geographical limits of the Republic of Vietnam , provided direct combat support to the Republic of Vietnam armed forces for a period exceeding six months . This stipulation most often applies to members who performed Vietnam War support from Thailand and Japan . In such cases , a U . S . service member must have been awarded either the Vietnam Service Medal or the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal ( for service in a Vietnam campaign ) to be eligible for the Vietnam Campaign Medal . For those members who were wounded by an enemy force , captured by the enemy in the line of duty , or killed in action , the Vietnam Campaign Medal is automatically awarded regardless of total time served in Vietnam . The medal is issued with a device known as the 1960 Bar . The bar displays the date of 1960 followed by a dash and a blank space . The unusual appearance was caused by the government of the Republic of Vietnam stating that the 1960 bar would show the dates of the Vietnam War from start to finish , with the ending date placed on the 1960 bar after the South Vietnamese had triumphed over North Vietnam ( the Democratic Republic of Vietnam ) . Since South Vietnam fell , and the government ceased to exist , an ending date for the 1960 Bar was never established . In addition to the 1960 Bar , Republic of Vietnam armed forces memorandum 2655 prescribed a second device for service during the period 8 March 1949 to 20 July 1954 ( which had both years displayed ) . American military personnel have never been authorized to wear it , but since this was during the French colonial period it is unlikely that many would have been eligible . The Vietnam Campaign Medal is considered a foreign award by the U . S . , Australian , and New Zealand governments . The U . S . equivalent award is known as the Vietnam Service Medal ( campaign medal ) . The joint Australian and New Zealand campaign medal awarded for service in the Vietnam War is the Vietnam Medal . Other frequently bestowed Vietnam awards include the Vietnam Gallantry Cross and the Vietnam Civil Actions Medal , both of which were awarded extensively to both Vietnamese military service members and to the members of foreign militaries .
Alta - class minesweeper The Alta class minesweeper is a ship class of minesweepers operated by the Royal Norwegian Navy . An almost identical class of minehunters is known as the Oksøy class . The " Alta " class was built by Kvaerner Mandal during 1996 and 1997 , while the related " Oksøy " class was built in 1994 and 1995 . A total of 9 vessels were built , 5 minesweepers and 4 minehunters . HNoMS " Orkla " was completely destroyed in a fire , and HNoMS " Oksøy " was damaged when it ran aground in 2005 . The pair , along with HNoMS " Glomma " , are no longer in active service . The catamaran hull is built in a fibre - reinforced plastic sandwich of very low magnetic signature . Two large fans located on each side create an air cushion between the two hulls and a front and aft rubber skirt , lifting the vessel , giving small drag and a high cruise speed , as well as low susceptibility to the shock of exploding mines since only a small portion of the hull is actually exposed in the water . Propulsion by water jet , again one in each hull , gives a low acoustic signature . A degaussing system gives the vessels extremely low electromagnetic signature .

The wingman was shot down and killed ; Böning was then severely wounded below the left knee . He managed to disengage and return to base . After safely landing the battered Albatros emblazoned with a large ' B ' on its side , Böning was out of the war .
National Codification Bureau The National Codification Bureaus or NATO Codification Bureaux ( NCB ) are a NATO organization that oversees the management of the National Codification System ( NCS ) . Countries that participate in the National Codification System ( NCS ) follow common standards and techniques to assign National Stock Numbers ( NSNs ) to items of supply in their defense inventory . The National Codification Bureau ( NCB ) within each country centrally assigns their national NSNs . The assignment of an NSN denotes a distinctive item of supply ; to eliminate confusion , the number will never be re - used . National Stock Number . The " National Stock Number " ( NSN ) system was implemented on September 30 , 1974 . It was managed by the Defense Integrated Data System in 1975 . All NSNs are uniform in composition , length , and structure . Each is represented by a 13 - digit number , which can be divided into two parts : NATO Supply Classification Group . The first four digits are the NATO Supply Classification Group ( NSCG ) code . This relates the item to the NATO Supply Group ( digits 1 & 2 ) and NATO Supply Class ( digits 3 & 4 ) of similar items that it belongs to . Examples : National Item Identification Number . The next 9 digits make up the National Item Identification Number / NATO Item Identification Number ( NIIN ) . The first two digits indicate the assigning country ' s NCB code - also informally called a " " Country Code " " or " " Nation Code " " . Each country has its own two - digit NCB code , which were granted in the order the NCB system was adopted by that country . The United Kingdom ( 99 ) , Australia ( 66 ) and New Zealand ( 98 ) are the exceptions ; as a courtesy they were granted their status before the rest of NATO reviewed and accepted the NCB . The United States uses " 00 " and " 01 " because they invented the system and were using it before the rest of NATO . NCB code " 00 " generally indicates an item in US inventory before 1974 ( when the NSN was adopted by the US ) and " 01 " indicates an item placed in US inventory after 1974 . Canada ' s NCB " 20 " and " 21 " have a similar purpose . The numbers " 02 " through " 10 " are unassigned to reserve future catalog numbers for the United States ' use . The final seven digits are random . They indicate the code number for the unique item in that country ' s inventory . It will never be reused or changed . The NIIN has lately become alphanumeric ( digits and uppercase letters ) due to the vast array of items in the NSN , recently adopting the use of the uppercase letter C in place of " 12 " in 2000 . Federal Stock Number . The Federal Stock Number ( FSN ) was the codification system used by the US Government from 1957 to 1974 . It was 11 digits long and was the same number as the NSN , minus the two - digit NCB code . The digits " 00 " were later added in the place of the NCB digits to virtually all FSN numbers to create compliant American NSN numbers . The FSN was officially replaced by the National Stock Number beginning on September 30 , 1974 .

Gun shield A gun shield is a flat piece of armor designed to be mounted on a crew - served weapon such as a machine gun or artillery piece , or , more rarely , to be used with an assault rifle or , in a law enforcement context , a standard semi - automatic pistol or revolver , the latter being particularly well - suited due to the lack of a slide which might strike the shield during operation . Military . Some mounted machine guns and artillery pieces are equipped with metal armor plates to protect the gunners from sniper fire and shrapnel from explosions . Salvaged metal plates can sometimes service as improvised gun shields ; in the Vietnam War crews of armored fighting vehicles and Patrol Boat s would attach metal plates to the machine guns . Gun shields fell out of widespread use after the Vietnam war , but they have seen a resurgence in popularity during the 1990s . Israeli military analysts began urging the use of gun shields , pointing to the grave risk to soldiers exposed to fire from automatic weapons . In particular , it was noted that many casualties were hit in areas not protected by body armor or a helmet , such as the neck or face . The U . S . began using gun shields during the 2000s - era wars in Iraq and Afghanistan . The major drawback of gun shields is that they limit the visibility of the user to the front , though new designs such as the Transparent Armor Gun Shield ( TAGS for short ) will alleviate this without sacrificing user protection . Law enforcement . When tactical police squads or hostage rescue teams are approaching a heavily - armed suspect or group of suspects , they are increasingly using ballistic glass or kevlar gun shields . These shields supplement the protection from the body armor that the officers are already wearing by protecting the exposed body areas such as the neck and face . Gun shields typically have a firing hole or port through which the officer can fire a weapon . Some police officers using gun shields use revolver s instead of semi - automatic pistols , because the slide of a semi - auto pistol tends to get caught in the firing port .
