Mark 32 Surface Vessel Torpedo Tubes The Mark 32 Surface Vessel Torpedo Tubes ( Mk 32 SVTT ) system is a torpedo launching system designed for the United States Navy . The Mark 32 has been the standard anti - submarine torpedo launching system aboard United States Navy surface vessels since its introduction in 1960 , and in use aboard the warships of several other navies . Most versions ( referred to as modifications or mods ) are triple - tube sets that can be rotated or trained to face a target . The exception is the Mod 9 sets , which only have two tubes and are fixed in position . The Mark 36 can fire torpedoes of the Mark 44 , Mark 46 , Mark 50 ( from the Mod 17 tubes onwards ) , and Mark 54 designs , and can be modified to use other torpedoes ( such as the MU90 Impact aboard Royal Australian Navy frigates , or Royal Navy units using Sting Ray torpedo es ) . The tubes are designed to be fired remotely , but manual firing controls are fitted as a backup to all but the " Spruance " class destroyer ' s Mod 15 sets , as all aspects of the tubes ' operation is controlled remotely . The launch is powered by compressed air in a rear flask , which also doubles as each tube ' s breech , and the torpedoes are fire - and - forget weapons . The launcher can be made out of fibreglass , or with a fibreglass liner encased in metal . The tubes were designed to be weatherproof and capable of storing torpedoes for long periods , but this is only practical with regular maintenance . Each triple - tube set weighs around unloaded , with variations between mods .

Landing Craft Tank ( Rocket ) The Landing Craft Tank ( Rocket ) or LCT ( R ) was developed from the British Mk . 2 and Mk . 3 Landing Craft Tank ( LCT ) during the Second World War . It was designed to saturate beaches with up to 1 , 066 RP - 3 60 lb rockets prior to the landing of troops . Used by both British and U . S . forces , the craft saw service in the Normandy landings , the Mediterranean and the Far East . Design . The front loading door was welded shut and an additional deck installed above the tank storage bay to provide a mounting for the rocket launching racks . The resulting storage space below the deck ( formerly the tank deck ) was used as a magazine for storage of rockets with up to 5 , 000 being able to be carried . The craft was also fitted with a Type 970 radar set whose primary use was for rangefinding , but was also successfully used for navigation . Generally propulsion was provided by Paxman diesel engines however others were used due to availability . Some U . S . craft were fitted with petrol ( gasoline ) engines .
Vickers F . B . 12 The Vickers F . B . 12 was a biplane pusher fighter aircraft developed during World War I by Vickers Limited . The failure of the engine for which it was designed , and the obsolescence of the pusher configuration , resulted in its remaining an experimental type only . Development and design . At the start of the First World War , Vickers entered into a partnership with the Hart Engine Company to develop a 150 hp ( 110 kW ) nine - cyliner radial engine designed by Hart . This engine was planned to power a number of new designs by Vickers , the first of which was a small single - engine pusher biplane fighter , the F . B . 12 . The F . B . 12 resembled the D . H . 2 and F . E . 8 ; wood and fabric wings with rounded tips . The circular nacelle was framed in steel tubing , with the engine directly behind the cockpit , driving a wooden propeller . The tail was at the end of an open steel boom . A . 303 in ( 7 . 7 mm ) machine gun was placed inside the front of the nacelle , with only the barrel protruding . The first FB . 12 flew in June 1916 , powered by a 80 hp ( 60 kW ) Le Rhône rotary engine as the Hart was not yet available . With this engine , it proved to be underpowered and was re - fitted with a 100 hp ( 75 kW ) Gnome Monosoupape engine . It was then rebuilt with increased wing span and area , becoming the F . B . 12A . In December 1916 it was sent to France for operational testing , where it was deemed as good as the D . H . 2 and F . E . 8 , a rather back - handed recommendation as both these types were by now well outclassed by the latest German fighters . The F . B . 12B was similar to the F . B . 12A , but fitted with the originally intended Hart engine , flying early in 1917 . In November 1916 , meanwhile , the War Office placed an order for 50 Hart powered aircraft , designated the F . B . 12C for the RFC . The F . B . 12B crashed during tests in early 1917 , leading to Vickers abandoning the Hart . Only 18 of the order were built , being fitted with a number of different engines including a 110 hp ( 80 kW ) Le Rhône and a 100 hp ( 75 kW ) Anzani radial . Tested between May and July 1917 , only 1 F . B . 12C was delivered , to a Home Defence unit . The F . B . 12D was the final variation , only 1 prototype was produced with a larger 110 hp ( 80 kW ) Le Rhone engine .

Battle of South Mogadishu ( 2009 ) The Battle of South Mogadishu occurred in the Somali capital of Mogadishu on February 24 , 2009 . A campaign fought as part of the War in Somalia ( 2009 – ) , it left at least 87 people dead and 90 more injured during what the BBC described as " the fiercest fighting in the Somali capital Mogadishu since a new president was elected last month " ( January 2009 ) . The battle was fought mainly in the south of the city . Rebels fired volleys of mortar bombs at the presidential palace , located on a hilltop in the Wardhigley district . A base for African Union and government troops in the Hodan district was also fired upon as was the nearby Howlwadag district . The recently elected President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed was said to be within his palace at the time of the incident . However , it was mainly civilians who were dislodged by the battle , experiencing the exchange of heavy machine gun fire . Abdirizak Mohamed , a Somali resident , said : " A mother and her baby died after a shell landed on their house . Their flesh was so mangled we did not know what to carry . " At least 11 civilians were amongst the dead , with workers at the main Madena Hospital indicating that at one stage approximately 45 wounded had been admitted . Dahir Dheere , a doctor at the hospital , said " More injured people are being brought to us as the fighting is still going on .

John Young ( naval officer ) John Young ( ca . 1740 – 1781 ) was a captain in the Continental Navy during the American Revolutionary War , commander of the which was lost at sea . He began his seafaring career at an early age in the colonial merchant marine and , at the start of the American Revolution , was commissioned 23rd on the list of captains in the Continental Navy . On 20 September 1776 , the Continental Congress directed Young to take the sloop - of - war to Martinique to protect American mercantile shipping in the West Indies . Collaterally , " Independence " was to raid British shipping whenever the opportunity arose . On 5 July 1777 , Young was ordered to Nantes , France , and subsequently arrived at Lorient with two prize s . On 17 February 1778 , while in French waters , he sailed through the French Fleet , saluting that nation ' s government with a 13 - gun salute . In return he received a nine - gun salute , one of the earliest salutes rendered by the French government to the fledgling American government . At the time , John Paul Jones was on board " Independence " . Young returned to America in the spring of 1778 and successively commanded two Pennsylvania privateer s , " Buckskin " and " Impertinent " , before he was given command of the sloop - of - war - then fitting out at Philadelphia — in May 1780 . Young took her to sea on 13 August 1780 and , in the course of the ship ' s first cruise , captured one prize before she returned to port for repairs and alterations . Subsequent cruises were more successful , as Young commanded " Saratoga " on three more sweeps at sea in which he took a total of eight more prizes . Young proved himself a daring and resourceful commander . On one occasion , he took " Saratoga " between two British ships and captured both . Largely as a result of his dedication and emphasis on training , " Saratoga " compiled a distinguished , but altogether brief , record before her untimely and unexplained loss . " Saratoga " set sail from Cap - Français , in what is now the Dominican Republic , on 15 March 1781 . After taking a prize three days later , the sloop - of - war became separated from her later that day when a strong gale swept through the area , the high winds nearly swamping the prize commanded by Midshipman Penfield . After the storm passed by , " Saratoga " was nowhere to be seen , having vanished without a trace . The United States Navy named two ships , , and in his honor .
Eugen Ott ( ambassador ) Eugen Ott ( 8 April 1889 – 22 January 1977 ) was the German ambassador to Japan during the early years of World War II , he is most famously known for having worked with Soviet spy Richard Sorge . During World War I , Ott served with distinction on the eastern front as an officer with the 26th ( Württemberg ) Infantry Division . His commander was General Wilhelm von Urach , who was elected king of Lithuania in 1918 as Mindaugas II of Lithuania . Prior to Adolf Hitler coming to power in Germany ( 1933 ) , Ott had been the adjutant of General Kurt von Schleicher . In 1934 he was sent to Tokyo as military attaché at the German Embassy . In early September 1940 , Heinrich Georg Stahmer arrived in Tokyo to assist Ambassador Ott negotiate the Tripartite Pact with Japan . Stahmer would later replace Ott as ambassador when Richard Sorge , who had been working for Ott in Japan as an agent for the Abwehr , was unmasked as a spy for the Soviet Union in Japan in late 1941 . Ott left Tokyo and went to Peking ( Beijing ) , China , for the rest of the war . Prange suggests , in his analysis of Richard Sorge , that Sorge was entirely trusted by Ott , and was allowed access to top secret cables from Berlin in the embassy . This trust was the main foundation for Sorge ' s success as a Red Army spy .

SIDAM 25 The Sidam 25 is a self - propelled anti - aircraft gun developed in Italy from the chassis of the American M113 armoured personnel carrier . Due to the choice of basic chassis for the Sidam 25 , components and spare parts were both cheap , and readily available due to the widespread use of the basic M113 . Beginning production in 1987 , OTO Breda built a large turret to accommodate the four Oerlikon KBA cannons and remodelled the hull of the M113 slightly to provide side - access to the internal space of the vehicle by the addition of a side - mounted door . Armament . The Oerlikon KBA cannon has an effective range of about and can engage low - flying targets with accuracy within that range . Firing at 2 , 400 rounds per minute , the turret contains 600 rounds of high - explosive fragmentation ammunition providing , usually , eight bursts of fire for around two seconds each . An internal magazine also houses 30 armour - piercing rounds that can be used against enemy vehicles . The turret can rotate through 360° and the guns can be raised 87° or lowered 5° from the horizontal position . Fire control and observation . Target engagement is made using an optronic fire control system and a laser rangefinder , but due to the lack of radar reduces its targeting capability in deteriorated weather conditions . Propulsion . The Sidam 25 is powered by a single 6 - cylinder Detroit 6V - 53 engine , which will deliver and drive the Sidam 25 to a top road speed of and allow the vehicle to climb vertical obstacles of in height and climb gradients with a 60 % incline and cross trenches up to wide .

Antoine Mizon Louis Alexandre Antoine Mizon ( 1853 – 99 ) was a French explorer and colonial administrator . Born in Paris in 1853 , Mizon entered in the French Navy in 1869 . Between 1880 and 1883 he was at Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza ' s orders , with whom he had difficulties working . In 1890 he was given the command of an expedition meant to find a viable route between the Niger and the Congo rivers by passing by the Benue and Sangha River . He also led a second mission in 1892 in the same places , meant in particular to establish French control over the Adamawa ( in modern Nigeria ) , from which the Benue , the major tributary of the Niger , rises . The plan failed , for the English protested that the claimed territory had been assigned to Britain . In 1895 Mizon was nominated Resident of Majunga , in Madagascar .
