USS Brisk ( PG - 89 ) HMS " Flax , a modified , was laid down on 28 February 1942 at Kingston , Ontario , Canada , by War Supplies Ltd . , for the Royal Navy . Launched on 15 June 1942 it was reallocated to the United States under the so - called " Reverse Lend - Lease " program and renamed and redesignated Brisk " ( PG - 89 ) on 14 August 1942 .

There , the remaining work to complete the ship for service was carried out . On 8 January 1943 , " Brisk " headed for Boston in company with by way of Halifax , Nova Scotia . Upon her arrival at the Boston Navy Yard , " Brisk " underwent repairs and alterations . Once this work was completed , the gunboat commenced her shakedown on 26 February . Then , after three days of anti - submarine warfare training out of New London , she reached New York City on 10 March . Soon thereafter , " Brisk " commenced escorting convoys between New York and Guantanamo Bay , Cuba , a prosaic but highly important duty that kept her employed through V - E Day in the spring of 1945 .

AGM - 136 Tacit Rainbow The AGM - 136A " Tacit Rainbow " was a United States military anti - radiation missile program run from 1982 to 1991 . The requirement was for a low - cost air - launchable system to aid in the destruction of enemy air defense networks . The proposed unit would combine elements of cruise missile s and UAVs , it would be launched in large numbers by heavy bombers , fighters , or possibly mass ground launch systems . The missiles would fly in advance of manned aircraft up to 450 km ( 280 mi ) to pre - programmed target zones and patrol there until enemy radar sources were detected which would then be destroyed . This extended patrol time on target ( " loiter time " ) was the key feature of the new system , a " Persistent " Anti - radiation Missile ( PARM ) as opposed to a HARM . The project was started by the DoD in 1982 , but moved to the control of the USAF Aeronautical Systems Division in 1984 as a joint Navy / Air Force project . The majority of the system was designed and developed by Northrop with Texas Instruments providing the seek head and Boeing providing a system that allowed it to be launched from B - 52 bombers . The first test air - launch was on July 30 , 1984 . The unit was 8 ft 4 in ( 2 . 54 m ) long and 5 ft 2 in ( 1 . 575 m ) in span with a body diameter of 27 in ( 686 mm ) , flight and control surfaces deployed after launch . It massed around 431 lb ( 195 kg ) including the 40 lb ( 18 kg ) warhead . Power was provided by a Williams F121 turbofan , producing 310 N ( 70 lbf ) of thrust from the 0 . 9 m , 22 kg unit . Some sources state that production units would have used a 1 , 200 N ( 270 lbf ) variant of the Williams International WR - 24 . Achieved speed and range are uncertain , low subsonic speed is probable and all sources indicate a range much lower than the hoped - for 450 km ( 280 mi ) . Each unit was to cost around $ 200 , 000 , up to thirty would have been loaded in a single B - 52 . The Naval Research Advisory Committee reported in 1989 that the project was not progressing well . In 1991 a DoD audit found numerous management problems . The program was canceled in 1991 ( FY 1992 ) , without any production units and at a total cost of around $ 4 billion . It was only the second post - Vietnam military project to be canceled after completing testing but before production . Survivors . Below is a list of museums which have a " Tacit Rainbow " in their collection :

Hence , the people of Toledo rose in arms , seeking the assistance of the Kingdom of Asturias and Basques as is reported by Ibn Khaldun , quoting verbatim from Spanish - language chronicles of the tenth century : The Battle . The organized forces of Muhammad I were easily able to rout the town rabble and their Christian men at arms from Asturias and Navarre .

In 858 , Muhammad finally conquered the city and jailed the Bishop Eugenio who was executed in the year 859 .

Hydrogen fluoride laser The hydrogen fluoride laser is an infrared chemical laser . It is capable of delivering continuous output power in the megawatt range . Hydrogen fluoride lasers operate at the wavelength of 2 . 7 - 2 . 9 µm . This wavelength is absorbed by the atmosphere , effectively attenuating the beam and reducing its reach , unless used in a vacuum environment . However , when deuterium is used instead of hydrogen , the deuterium fluoride lases at the wavelength of about 3 . 8 µm . This makes the deuterium fluoride laser usable for terrestrial operations . The deuterium fluoride laser constructionally resembles a rocket engine . In the combustion chamber , ethylene is burned in nitrogen trifluoride . This reaction produces free excited fluorine radicals . Just after the nozzle , the mixture of helium and hydrogen or deuterium gas is injected to the exhaust stream ; the hydrogen or deuterium reacts with the fluorine radicals , producing excited molecules of deuterium or hydrogen fluoride . The excited molecules then undergo stimulated emission in the optical resonator region of the laser . Deuterium fluoride lasers have found military applications : the MIRACL laser , the Pulsed Energy Projectile and the Tactical High Energy Laser s are of the deuterium fluoride type . An Argentine - American physicist and accused spy , Leonardo Mascheroni , has proposed the idea of using hydrogen fluoride lasers to produce nuclear fusion .
MAT - 62B mine The MAT - 62B is a Romania n plastic cased circular anti - tank blast mine . It is very similar to the Russia n TM - 62P2 . The mine has a central fuze well which accepts the bakelite P - 62 pressure fuze , which contains a CD - 11R detonator . The mine can accept fuzes from the Russia n TM - 62 and TM - 72 series of landmines . The low metal content of the mine makes it difficult to detect . A caseless version of the mine , the MAT - 76 mine is also produced . It is possible for the bakelite fuze to deteriorate in desert conditions i . e . reducing the activation pressure required to trigger detonation . In such cases there is a possibility that the mine may detonate simply by handling it .
