Parang ( knife ) The parang is a Malaysia n and Indonesia n big knife , similar to a machete . Typical vegetation in South East Asia is more woody than in South America and the parang is therefore optimized for a stronger chopping action with a heavier blade and a " sweet spot " further forward of the handle ; the blade is also beveled more obtusely to prevent it from binding in the cut . This is the same rationale and ( in practical terms ) the same design as the Indonesia n golok and very similar to the Filipino bolo . A parang blade is usually 10 – 24 inches ( 25 – 61 cm ) long ; a blade that is 10 inches and shorter is called " pisau " ( knife ) and a blade that 24 inches and longer is called " pedang " ( sword ) . Parang has a mass up to 2 lb and the edge of parang usually uses a convex grind . The parang has three different edges : the front is very sharp and used for skinning , the middle is wider and used for chopping , and the back end ( near the handle ) is very fine and used for carving . A parang handle is normally made out of wood or horn , with a wide end to prevent slips in wet conditions . The tang of parangs usually are of rat tail tang design , and full tang design is also available . Uses . Like the machete , the parang is frequently used in the jungle as well as being a tool for making housing , furniture , and tools . The parang has been noted in John " Lofty " Wiseman ' s " SAS Survival Handbook " for this use . In Alistair MacLean ' s " South by Java Head " , parangs are used as weapons against the Japanese . Parangs are typically carried by gang members and robbers , as weapons , in Malaysia , Singapore , India and Sri Lanka .
Elbasan Castle Elbasan castle is a 15th - century fortress located in the city of Elbasan , Albania . The castle was initially composed of 26 equidistant high towers . Part of Via Egnatia passes through the castle . The castle and its surrounding walls speak of the military significance of Elbasan in the early Ottoman period . The southern wall , more or less intact , is proof of the dimensions and the strength of fortifications . Some of the materials from Roman and Byzantine periods were reused during the reconstruction of the castle by Sultan Mehmet II , as seen especially in the foundations of the south - western tower . The castle used to have 26 towers , equidistant from each other , along the whole length of the 9 metre high wall . The fortress includes part of Via Egnatia , which runs through it , and traditional buildings with the characteristic architecture of urban dwellings , as well as other monuments . Sinan Pasha ' s Turkish bath is situated within the walls of the castle . It is a well preserved attraction built in the early 19th century .
Capture of San Pietro and Sant ' Antioco Early in 1793 , during the War of the First Coalition , the French Navy made a concerted assault on the island of Sardinia , then a possession of the House of Savoy . A French fleet bombarded the chief city on the island , Cagliari , but was repelled by the locals and withdrew . On quitting Cagliari , the French entered the gulf of Palmas and took the islands of San Pietro and Sant ' Antioco , where they established garrisons . As a diversion , a second fleet , carrying a division from Corsica , anchored at Le Tigge off the island of La Maddalena on Sardinia ' s northern coast on 22 February . The French attempted to take the Maddalena archipelago , but though it obtained partial success , the spirited resistance of the locals drove them off with the loss of 200 men , their artillery and stores . The incident , though trifling in itself , is remarkable from this having been the scene of the first actual service of Napoleon Bonaparte . Without endeavouring more , the fleet stationed at San Pietro , claiming the uncertain situation at home , then sailed for Toulon . The two islets remained in the possession of the French until the arrival of a Spanish fleet of twenty - four ships of the line on 25 May , at the sight of which the French garrison , consisting of about 800 men , surrendered . The two frigate s the French had left behind to protect the garrison were both lost : the " Helène " , carrying thirty - six cannons , was taken whilst endeavouring to make her escape , and the other , the " Richmond " , was set fire and scuttle d by her crew as part of the terms of surrender . The total number of French prisoners grew to 1 , 300 .
AN / SPQ - 9 AN / SPQ - 9A , ( sometimes pronounced as " spook nine " ) , is a United States Navy multi - purpose surface search & fire control radar used with the Mk - 86 gun fire - control system ( MK86 GFCS ) . It is a two dimensional radar , meaning it provides only range and bearing but not elevation . It can however , also detect and track low altitude ( below 2000 ft ) air targets . Initially tested on the , it was also deployed on s , s , s , s , s and s . The SPQ - 9A is being replaced on all Ticonderoga Class cruisers by the SPQ - 9B , which provides twice the range and improved range resolution .

The new SPQ - 9B will be a part of the Mk - 160 Mod 11 gun fire - control system ( MK160 GFCS ) .

Finland Air Force Station Finland Air Force Station is a closed United States Air Force General Surveillance Radar station . It is located north of Finland , Minnesota . It was closed in 1980 . In 1950 Air Defense Command selected Finland , Minnesota site as one of twenty - eight radar stations built as part of the second segment of the permanent radar surveillance network . Prompted by the start of the Korean War , on July 11 , 1950 , the Secretary of the Air Force asked the Secretary of Defense for approval to expedite construction of the second segment of the permanent network . Receiving the Defense Secretary ’ s approval on July 21 , the Air Force directed the Corps of Engineers to proceed with construction . History . Finland Air Force Station began as a “ Lashup - Permanent ” radar site ( LP - 69 ) with the 756th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron operating an AN / CPS - 5 radar at the station on 30 Nov 1951 , 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 . On 1 May 1951 the station joined the " permanent " ADC network operating AN / FPS - 3 and AN / FPS - 5 radars . By 1959 these radars had been replaced with AN / FPS - 20 and AN / FPS - 6 sets , and a second height - finder radar ( AN / FPS - 6A ) was being installed . During 1959 Finland AFS joined the Semi Automatic Ground Environment ( SAGE ) system , initially feeding data to DC - 10 at Duluth AFS , Minnesota . After joining , the squadron was re - designated as the 756th Radar Squadron ( SAGE ) on 15 December 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 . In 1961 the search radar was upgraded and redesignated as an AN / FPS - 64 . In 1963 the height - finder radars were replaced by AN / FPS - 26 A and AN / FPS - 90 sets , and on 31 July 1963 , the site was redesignated as NORAD ID Z - 69 . In 1964 the AN / FPS - 64 was replaced by an AN / FPS - 27 . The AN / FPS - 90 height - finder radar was decommissioned in 1970 . In addition to the main facility , Calumet operated the following AN / FPS - 18 Gap Filler sites : Over the years , the equipment at the station was upgraded or modified to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the information gathered by the radars . Finland came under Tactical Air Command jurisdiction in October 1979 with the inactivation of Aerospace Defense Command and the formation of ADTAC . The 756th Radar Squadron was inactivated 15 Aug 1980 . The Ground / Air Task Oriented Radar ( GATR ) site was retained until the Joint Surveillance System ( JSS ) switchover in 1984 . Today the radar station is largely abandoned . The former Air Force Housing area in use as single - family housing . Air Force units and assignments . Units . Assignments : External links .
