Hayabusa - class patrol boat The Hayabusa - class is a guided missile patrol boat class of the Japan Maritime Self - Defense Force . Six boats were built between 2002 and 2004 . The Japan Maritime Self - Defense Force initially built three hydrofoil missile boats of the PG 1 - go class between 1993 and 1995 . However , after commissioning , problems with seaworthiness and operational range at mid - speed became clear . As a result , no more ships of this first class of Japanese missile boat were built . The Hayabusa class was designed to correct these problems . After an incident off the Noto Peninsula involving a North Korea spy ship , two ships of the class were included in the 1999 fiscal year plan . They were named for Imperial Japanese Navy ships , the torpedo boat Hayabusa and the minesweeper Wakataka . Outline . Hull . The boat ' s displacement was enlarged to four times that of the PG 1 - go class to improve seaworthiness . The maximum speed was increased to improve the ability to intercept ships ; however , the speed increase proved to be difficult to implement . Both double - hull and single - hull designs were considered ; the single - hull design was selected for reasons of hull strength and seaworthiness . The hull is long and narrow with a V - shaped bottom , allowing for a high hull speed and improved high - speed stability . Stealth characteristics were incorporated . The slope of the superstructure , designed to minimize direct radar reflection , was chosen using computer simulation of the radar cross section . The tripod mast and Stealthshield 76mm gun also have stealth features . Propulsion . Three LM500 - G07 gas turbine engines , built under license from General Electric by Ishikawajima - Harima , provide the main propulsion . The gas turbine was changed about a main engine at a first budget budget request stage corresponding to a demand speed increase after the event of a suspicious ship though was examined as two . Each engine is displayed to the hull in parallel , and connected with the nozzle of one water jet propulsion severally . The output has increased by 400 horsepower , though the LM500 - G07 engine is the one installed in the PG NO . 1 class and an isomorph . Armament . The main armament is a pair of SSM - 1B ship - to - ship missile twin launchers installed in the stern and a front deck Otobreda 76 mm gun . Additionally , two 12 . 7mm M2 machine gun s are installed on the back of the bridge . The weapons systems for the Hayabusa Class is controlled by the OYQ - 8B Tactical Data Processing System . It uses a smaller AN / UYK - 44 computer but is vastly superior to the previous generation UYK - 20 . Also it is capable of supporting Link 11 data link , which the previous OYQ - 5 and UYK - 20 system was not able to . As a result , it is now able to provide supporting data to other ships and aircraft . This enhances offensive and defensive capability as they can now feed data into the larger Maritime Operation Force System of the Self Defense Forces .

V - hull The V - hull is a type of vehicle armor design used on wheeled armored personnel carrier s ( APC ) , infantry mobility vehicle s and infantry fighting vehicle s ( IFV ) . The design originated in the 1970s with vehicles such as the Leopard security vehicle used in the Rhodesian Bush War and South African armored vehicle company Land Systems OMC ' s Ratel IFV and Buffel . Design . The purpose of V - hulls is to increase vehicle and crew survivability by deflecting an upward directed blast from a landmine ( or Improvised Explosive Device ) away from the vehicle , while also presenting a sloped armor face . By presenting its armor at an angle , it increases the amount of material a ballistic projectile must pass through in order to penetrate the vehicle , and increases the chance of deflection . V - hulls are incorporated in armored vehicle designs in several different ways . Many vehicles , such as the BAE Systems RG - 33 incorporate the V - hull into a monocoque chassis , while others , such as the ATF Dingo and International MaxxPro use a body - on - frame chassis , with an armored V - hull crew compartment , and an additional V or semicircular shaped piece protecting the driveline . Others , such as the Cougar H have a V - hull crew compartment , and allow the driveline and suspension components to be sacrificed in an attack , while maintaining the safety of the crew .

In 1718 , the Austrians still had most of their troops in the Balkans until the conclusion of the Austro - Turkish War of 1716 – 18 in the Treaty of Passarowitz on 21 July 1718 . A first Austrian attempt to attack the Spanish from Naples had failed , when they were defeated in the Battle of Milazzo on 15 October 1718 . They did succeed to hold a small bridgehead around Milazzo . By June 1719 the Austrians had moved an experienced army of 24 , 000 men under the Count de Mercy from the Balkans to the south of Italy , where they were sailed across the Messina Strait by the British fleet . The Spanish had abandoned the siege of Milazzo and pulled back to a more favorable position around the village of Francavilla di Sicilia , where they were covered by a river and a monastery on a hill . The battle . On the morning of 22 June , the Austrians attacked the fortified Spanish positions in three columns . The first column attacked the fortified village of Francavilla three times , but was pushed back every time . The second column succeeded in conquering the trenches on the foot of the monastery hill , but were stopped by the second Spanish line . The Count de Mercy was wounded in this phase of the battle . The third column attacked the Spanish left flank , drove them off the San Juan hill , but were themselves pushed back under heavy Spanish fire and had to take cover in a crevice , suffering many casualties including general Holstein , who led the attack . The Spanish artillery under the Marquis of Villadarias played a crucial role during the battle , causing many casualties and confusion in the Austrian army . The battle raged until evening , when a counterattack by the Spanish cavalry removed all hopes of an Austrian victory . The Austrians withdrew , leaving 3 , 100 dead and wounded . The Spanish losses were 2 , 000 dead and wounded . Aftermath . The Marquis de Lede didn ' t pursue the Austrians , giving them the opportunity to recover from this defeat .

No 77 grenade The No . 77 Grenade was a British white phosphorus grenade introduced in sept 1943 & used during the Second World War . The No . 77 was introduced in 1943 and consisted of 8 ounce s of white phosphorus , an impact fuse and a tin casing . It was intended for laying down smoke screen s and as a signalling device . The grenade was also very effective as an anti - personnel and incendiary weapon . As well as being issued to the Home Guard , the Nº 77 smoke grenade was issued to the British army . This grenade was fitted with an ' all - ways ' percussion fuse designed to set the grenade off when it hit the ground - the fuse was called ' all - ways ' as it was designed to work no matter what way up the grenade was when it hit the ground . Once the grenade exploded , the contents ( i . e . the white phosphorus ) would scatter and ignite as soon as they touched the air . This made the grenade extremely dangerous — hence its usefulness in combat . When the war had ended , many of the grenades had become dangerous , due to corroding of the inferior tin plate steel used in the manufacture of the grenade bodies . In 1948 the grenade was determined to be obsolete and all were destroyed to minimize the danger they could have caused . However , these were produced and used in Canada until the 1950s , for the quality and manufacturing of them was better than found in Britain . . References to the No . 77 smoke grenade could also still be found in Dutch army manuals up to the fifties , coded as ' C - hgr Nr 77 ' , ( Chemische handgranaat nummer 77 ) indicating its use up to that decennium on the European Continent .
