Battle of Zonchio The naval Battle of Zonchio ( , also known as the Battle of Sapienza or the First Battle of Lepanto ) took place on four separate days : August 12 , 20 , 22 and 25 , 1499 . It was a part of the Ottoman – Venetian War of 1499 – 1503 . It was the first naval battle in history where cannons were used on ships . In January 1499 Kemal Reis set sail from Constantinople with a force of 10 galley s and 4 other types of ships , and in July 1499 met with the huge Ottoman fleet which was sent to him by Davud Pasha and took over its command in order to wage a large scale war against the Republic of Venice . The Ottoman fleet consisted of 67 galleys , 20 galliot s and circa 200 smaller vessels . After reaching Cape Zonchio in the Ionian Sea with the large Ottoman fleet in August 1499 , Kemal Reis defeated the Venetian fleet of 47 galleys , 17 galliots and circa 100 smaller vessels under the command of Antonio Grimani . He was 65 and had only got the command because of a donation of 16 , 000 ducats to the state . He was not told whether to fight an offensive or defensive campaign . Many captains ignored his orders to attack the Ottomans and he did not take part in the battle . On the second day , Grimani ordered the crews to kill any captains who refused to fight . Despite this , and the arrival of 4 French Galleys he sent just 2 galleys out of 170 against the Ottomans . Both somehow returned unharmed . On the 25th August the Venetians captured some Ottoman galleys , then discipline broke down and the Ottomans recaptured the vessels while they were being looted , the French reinforcements abandoned the Venetians in disgust and fled to Rhodes . During the most critical stage of the battle , two Venetian carracks , captained by Andrea Loredan ( a member of the influential Loredan family of Venice ) and by Alban d ' Armer , boarded one of the command ships of the Ottoman fleet . The commander of the vessel , Burak Reis , was unable to disentangle his ship from the boarders and chose to set her aflame . The sight of the three great ships burning together dealt a severe blow to the Venetian morale . Antonio Grimani was arrested on September 29 and banished to the island of Cherso . Grimani later became the Doge of Venice in 1521 . The Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II gave 10 of the captured Venetian galleys to Kemal Reis , who later stationed his fleet at the island of Cefalonia between October and December , 1499 . The Ottomans and Venetians soon confronted each other for a second time at the Second Battle of Lepanto , which is also known as the Battle of Modon , and the Ottomans were once again victorious under Admiral Kemal Reis .

Heckler & Koch USP The Heckler & Koch HK USP . 45 is the current pistol of the german army , and one of the most efficient handguns of the world . The Heckler & Koch USP pistols are favored by specialized tactical units engaged in world theaters around the world . The HK USP pistol is well known for the high accuracy and recoil absorbing systems integrated in the design of each USP pistol Description . The Heckler & Koch USP . 45 ( " Universale Selbstladepistole " or " Universal Self - Loading Pistol " ) is the . 45 ACP version of the USP . The USP . 45 is based on the Mark 23 handgun in service with some USSOCOM personnel . Design work on a new family of pistols commenced in September 1989 focused primarily on the U . S . commercial and law enforcement markets . In 1991 , USP prototypes participated in rigorous testing alongside H & K ' s entry in the OHWS ( Offensive Handgun Weapon System ) program requested by the U . S . Special Operations Command ( USSOCOM ) and which would later result in the Mk 23 Mod 0 . The USP prototypes were then refined in 1992 , based on input from the OHWS trials and the design was finalized in December of the same year . The USP was formally introduced in January 1993with the USP40 model ( the base version ) chambered for the increasingly popular . 40 S & W cartridge , followed soon by the USP9 ( using the 9x19mm Parabellum cartridge ) , and in May 1995 — the USP45 ( caliber . 45 ACP ) . The USP marked the first time H & K chose to incorporate many traditional handgun design elements , such as those of John Browning ' s M1911 , in one pistol . Two principles guided its development — the first being the use of a molded polymer frame , and the second being the creation of a " pistol paradigm " . Heckler & Koch observed the strong points of its previous successful pistols for insight in developing the USP . Previous H & K pistol innovations include the unique squeeze - cocking mechanism of the P7 , the precise roller - delayed blowback operation of the P9S , and the plastic frame and double action only trigger system used in the VP70Z . In contrast to these ambitious designs , the USP uses a Browning - style cam - locked action , similar to that developed by John Browning for use in the Hi - Power pistol .
HNLMS Kortenaer ( 1927 ) HNLMS " Kortenaer " ( ) was an of the Royal Netherlands Navy , named after 17th century Dutch Admiral Egbert Bartholomeusz Kortenaer . Service history .

Claysburg Air Force Station Claysburg Air Force Station ( ADC ID : P - 63 ) is a closed United States Air Force General Surveillance Radar station . It is located west of Claysburg , Pennsylvania . It was closed in 1961 due to budget constraints . The unit was eventually moved to Gibbsboro Air Force Station ( RP - 63 ) , New Jersey . History . Claysburg Air Force Station was part of the last batch of twenty - three radar stations constructed as part of the Air Defense Command permanent network . It was activated in April 1952 , replacing the Connelsville L - 16 Lashup site . It was declared completely operational in late 1952 . The 772d Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron began operations with an AN / CPS - 4 height - finder radar and AN / FPS - 3 search radar , and initially the station functioned as a Ground - Control Intercept ( GCI ) and warning station . As a GCI station , the squadron ' s role was to guide interceptor aircraft toward unidentified intruders picked up on the unit ' s radar scopes . In 1956 , an AN / FPS - 4 replaced the AN / CPS - 4 and two years later an AN / FPS - 20 replaced the original AN / FPS - 3 search radar . During 1959 Claysburg AFS joined the Semi Automatic Ground Environment ( SAGE ) system , initially feeding data to DC - 03 at Syracuse AFS , New York . After joining , the squadron was redesignated as the 772d Radar Squadron ( SAGE ) on 1 February 1959 . The radar squadron provided information 24 / 7 the SAGE Direction Center where it was analyzed to determine range , direction altitude speed and whether or not aircraft were friendly or hostile . This site was closed in 1961 and the 772d Radar Squadron was repositioned to an existing Army Nike Missile site at Pedricktown , NJ , which became Gibbsboro AFS , New Jersey in order to save money by combining Army and Air Force radar sites . Today Claysburg AFS has been redeveloped into Blue Knob Ski Resort . Air Force units and assignments . Units . Assignments :
RG - 32 Scout The RG - 32 Scout is a family of mine - resistant 4x4 light armoured vehicles made by BAE Systems Land Systems South Africa ( formerly Land Systems OMC ) in South Africa . It is based on the RG - 31 , which is already deployed worldwide with peace - keeping , security and combat forces . The combat weight of the vehicle is about 7 , 300 kg and it has the capacity to carry a crew of 5 to 7 . The vehicle crew is protected against 5 . 56x45mm NATO ball ammunition , grenade s , firebomb s , anti - personnel mine s and side blasts . The five - seat version also offers protection against anti - tank mine s and side blasts . Up to three RG - 32s can be transported in a C - 130 cargo aircraft . The latest development of this vehicle is the RG - 32M Galten . The RG - 32M has undergone extensive " winterisation " modifications in Sweden ; the RG - 32M has proved to be equally effective at 49 °C in the desert sands of Africa and the Middle East as well as at −35 °C in Sweden ' s frozen wilderness . Production history . Operators . More than 800 RG - 32 vehicles are in service worldwide , including with :
Multiple reentry vehicle A Multiple Reentry vehicle payload for a ballistic missile deploys multiple warheads in a pattern against a single target . ( As opposed to Multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle , which deploys multiple warheads against multiple targets . ) The advantage of an MRV over a single warhead is that the damage produced in the center of the pattern is far greater than the damage possible from any single warhead in the MRV cluster , this makes for an efficient area attack weapon . Also , the sheer number of Warheads make interception by Anti - ballistic missile s unlikely . Improved warhead designs allow smaller warheads for a given yield , while better electronics and guidance systems allowed greater accuracy . As a result MIRV technology has proven more attractive than MRV for advanced nations . Because of the larger amount of nuclear material consumed by MRVs and MIRVs , single warhead missiles are more attractive for nations with less advanced technology . The United States deployed an MRV payload on the Polaris A - 3 . The Soviet Union deployed MRVs on the SS - 9 Mod 4 ICBM . Refer to atmospheric reentry for more details .
Anti - Japanese volunteer armies After the Japanese invasion of Manchuria , and until 1933 , large volunteer armies waged war against Japanese and Manchukuo forces over much of Northeast China . Due to Chiang Kai - Shek ' s policy of non - resistance , the Japanese were soon able to establish complete control . After the League of Nations refused to do more than voice its disapproval , the Manchurian Incident was perhaps over , for diplomats . Afterwards small guerrilla bands continued the fight . The volunteer armies were eventually defeated , but only after their resistance had made support for them and the anti - Japanese cause popular throughout China during the early 1930s . There were several of these armies : Besides these armies there were other forces under leaders like Lao Pie - fang and others . For the whole year of 1932 the Japanese had to occupy themselves with fighting these Chinese forces in various areas of Manchuria . General Ma Zhanshan , nominally in command of them all , had a total fighting force estimated by the Japanese of 300 , 000 men . Following the defeat of the large forces , many retreated into Jehol and other places in China . The remainder were forced to disperse their remnants into small units , often called shanlin . Ongoing Japanese " Anti - Bandit " campaigns and other " pacification " measures steadily reduced the number of insurgent s . Their numbers declined from 120 , 000 in 1933 , to 50 , 000 in 1934 ; 40 , 000 in 1935 ; 30 , 000 in 1936 ; and 20 , 000 in 1937 . As of September 1938 , the number of insurgents was estimated by the Japanese at 10 , 000 men . From 1935 the Northeast Anti - Japanese United Army , under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party , absorbed many of these volunteer forces into its own ranks .
