Characteristics of the class . Umpqua was a Casco - class monitor intended for service in the shallow bays , rivers , and inlets of the Confederacy . These warships sacrificed armor plate for a shallow draft and were fitted with a ballast compartment designed to lower them in the water during battle to reduce the target they provided enemy guns . Engineering and construction difficulties . Though the original designs for the " Casco " - class monitors were drawn by John Ericsson , the final revision was created by Chief Engineer Alban B . Simers following Rear Admiral Samuel F . Du Pont ' s failed bombardment of Fort Sumter in 1863 . By the time that the plans were put before the Monitor Board in New York City , Ericsson and Simers had a poor relationship , and Chief of the Bureau of Construction and Repair John Lenthall had little connection to the board . This resulted in the plans being approved and 20 vessels ordered without serious scrutiny of the new design . $ 14 million US was allocated for the construction of these vessels . It was discovered that Simers had failed to compensate for the armor his revisions added to the original plan and this resulted in excessive stress on the wooden hull frames and a freeboard of only 3 inches . Simers was removed from the control of the project and Ericsson was called in to undo the damage . He was forced to raise the hulls of the monitors under construction by 22 inches to make them seaworthy . As a result , the Navy Department ordered on 24 June 1864 that " Umpqua ' s " deck be raised to provide sufficient freeboard . Upon delivery , the monitor was laid up at Mound City , IL ; and she saw no commissioned service . In August 1868 , she was moved to New Orleans , LA . Her name was changed to Fury on 15 June 1869 , but she resumed the name " Umpqua " on 10 August 1869 . Decommissioning and sale .

Chankillo Chankillo is an ancient monumental complex in the Peruvian coastal desert , found in the Casma - Sechin Oasis in the Ancash Department of Peru . The ruins include the hilltop Chankillo fort , the nearby Thirteen Towers solar observatory , and residential and gathering areas .

The site covers about four square kilometres ( 1 . 5 square miles ) and has been interpreted as a fortified temple . The Thirteen Towers solar observatory . The regularly - spaced thirteen towers of Chankillo were constructed atop the ridge of a low hill running near north to south and are , forming a " toothed " horizon with narrow gaps at regular intervals .

This suggests that some activities of the ancient civilization were regulated by a solar calendar . The towers had been known to travelers for centuries , but the astronomical function of the towers was first hypothesized in 2007 by Iván Ghezzi and Clive Ruggles .

Zircon ( satellite ) Zircon was the codename for a British signals intelligence satellite , intended to be launched in 1988 , before being cancelled . History . During the Cold War , Britain ' s GCHQ often used America ' s National Security Agency ( NSA ) for communications interception from space . Concern heightened at the time of the Falklands War . GCHQ requested access to American signals intelligence satellites to assist in monitoring Argentine communications , but reportedly struggled with the NSA to gain appropriate tasking time , despite the special relationship between the two countries . The United States satellites were engaged in monitoring SIGINT traffic elsewhere in South America related to El Salvador . GCHQ therefore decided to produce a UK - designed - and - built signals intelligence satellite , to be called Zircon , a code - name derived from zirconium silicate , a diamond substitute . Its function was to intercept radio and other signals from the USSR , Europe and other areas . The satellite was to be built at Marconi Space and Defence Systems at Portsmouth Airport , at which a new high security building had been built . It was to be launched on a NASA Space Shuttle under the guise of Skynet IV . Launch on the Shuttle would have entitled a British National to fly as a Mission Specialist and a group of military pilots were presented to the press as candidates for ' Britain ' s first man in space ' . Zircon was cancelled by Chancellor Nigel Lawson on grounds of its cost in 1987 . However , Duncan Campbell , an investigative journalist working for " New Statesman " magazine , planned to make a BBC television programme about the project , part of a six - part series called " Secret Society " . Campbell ' s thesis was that the cost of the satellite had been hidden from the British Parliament , in particular the Public Accounts Committee . Zircon Affair . As a result of TV interviews filmed with officials , particularly Sir Ronald Mason , the government ' s chief scientist , the government became aware that Campbell knew about the project . Shortly before the programme was due to be transmitted , in January 1987 the " New Statesman " published an account of Zircon . This triggered Special Branch police raids on the BBC offices in Glasgow , the offices of the " New Statesman " , and the homes of Campbell and his researchers , Jolyon Jenkins and Patrick Forbes . Master tapes were removed from the BBC , the government obtained an injunction preventing transmission of the programme , and the BBC postponed the transmission of the entire series . Four episodes were transmitted in April and May 1987 , and the Zircon programme was transmitted separately in September 1988 . The sixth episode , titled " Cabinet " , was held back indefinitely , and eventually remade and broadcast by Channel 4 in April 1991 .
