Bremenium Bremenium was an ancient Roman fort ( castra ) located at Rochester , Northumberland , England . The fort was one of the defensive structures built along Dere Street , a Roman road running from York to Corbridge and onwards to Melrose . The forts name , " Bremenium " , is mentioned in the Ravenna Cosmography , the Antonine Itinerary and Ptolemy ’ s Geographia . Location . The fort is situated in the village of Rochester , five miles ( 8 km ) north - west of Otterburn on the A68 road between Corbridge and Jedburgh . Description . The fort is eight and a half miles north of Risingham ( Roman name " Habitancum " ) , the previous fort on Dere Street . The name " Bremenium " means ' The Place of the Roaring Stream ' . The site is in a strong position , occupying the end of a ridge with the ground falling away steeply to the north and west , and giving a clear view over the Rede Valley and beyond . The fort is oblong in shape , and measures north to south and east to west , giving and area of just over . There was a gate in each of the four walls , which were of stone backed by a bank of earth . It appears that an early 1st - century fort with a turf rampart occupied the site , and that it was replaced by a stone fort during the time that Quintus Lollius Urbicus was Governor of Britain . He stayed there on his way north to build the Antonine Wall in 142 AD . The fort remained occupied even after the abandonment of the Antonine Wall in the early 160s . The fort is unusual , in that it had 3rd - century artillery defences . The walls were thicker than most Roman forts and had stone platforms projecting back from the wall , on which were placed catapult - like machines for hurling missiles . These machines , a smaller version of the ballista , were known as ' onagri ' , and derived their power from the torsion of a hair rope . From the north walls , these machines could fire missiles at anyone advancing down Dere Street from the north . Garrison . In the 2nd century the garrison was the First Cohort of Lingones ( part - mounted and 500 strong ) , and then the First Cohort of Dalmatians ( infantry ) . In the 3rd century the garrison was the First Cohort of Vardulia ns ( part - mounted and one thousand strong ) . Current site . The fort is now part of the village green of Rochester , but there are still remains to see . The west wall is the best preserved and consists of a nine - feet - high bank with stone facing . The west gate is complete to the springing of the arch . However much of the stonework has been plundered over the years for local buildings . Excavations . Excavations were carried out in 1852 and 1855 , but were poorly recorded . A small dig was also carried out in 1935 . The excavations established that the interior of the fort was crowded with buildings , many with hypocaust s .
Examination vessel An examination vessel is a vessel used to inspect ships and boats entering a port during wartime . An examination vessel would typically be responsible for examining and verifying all merchant ships and small craft entering or departing a port . They would normally be equipped with one or more machine gun s and in addition were often supported by one or more shore gun batteries , sometimes called " examination batteries " . Duties might include boarding ships , examining papers to establish identity and belligerent status , and inspecting cargoes for legitimacy . As an example of how an examination service might operate , here is an account of the procedure that operated in 1917 in Sydney Harbour : " At midnight on 7 August all traffic entering and leaving the harbour was placed under strict naval control with the inauguration of an examination service under Captain Pasco ' s port defense organisation , to guard against surprise attack by disguised armed merchant ship raiders . No incoming ship could approach beyond the line between Flat Point and Cranberry Head without first establishing its identity to a naval examination vessel . Because no steamer was available this had to be performed by motor launches . The examination personnel , if satisfied , would order the gate of the submarine net to be opened . Vessels wishing to leave port would have to notify the examination one day in advance and receive , confidentially , a time when the gate would be briefly opened . Vessels could not enter or leave during darkness or when the weather was thick . One of primary responsibilities of the coastal batteries at Cranberry Head and Fort Petrie was to be ready at all times to open fire , first with warning shots and then for effect , on instructions from the examination staff . . . [ No vessels ] could pass , in or out , without displaying certain prearranged signals , set from day to day by the naval authorities . "

9A52 - 4 Tornado The 9A52 - 4 Tornado multiple launch rocket system will be Russia ' s newest universal MLRS and is designed as a lightweight and universal version of the BM - 30 Smerch MLRS , dubbed 9A52 - 2 . It was first unveiled in 2007 as a more strategically and tactically mobile version at the expense of a slight reduction of the firepower . This model is aimed at replacing the current generation of Russian MLRS , including BM - 21 Grad , BM - 27 Uragan and BM - 30 Smerch . A version will be proposed for export . Design . The 9A52 - 4 Tornado system is based on the chassis of KamAZ - 63501 8x8 military truck that provides a good tactical mobility . It is equipped with a single container with six launching tubes for 300 - mm rockets , which can fire all current Smerch rockets , including HE - FRAG , incendiary , thermobaric , cluster with anti - personnel or anti - tank mines . Cluster rounds may also carry self - targeting anti - tank munitions . The 800 kg standard rocket has a maximum range of 90 km . A range and direction correction system provides better accuracy with respect to its predecessors . Launching pods with smaller 122 - mm and 220 - mm rockets are being designed . The 9A52 - 4 can launch single rocket , partial ripple or full salvo , which can cover an area of 32 hectares . An automated laying and fire control system , along with an autonomous satellite navigation and positioning system equip the system . Positioning and firing data are exchanged between the launch vehicle and the command vehicle . The 9A52 - 4 launching vehicle is reloaded within 8 minutes and a full salvo duration is 20s . Deployment . Russian ground forces are expected to receive up to 30 Tornado - G systems in 2012 , replacing the BM - 21 Grad . The improved Tornado - S is being upgraded with the special GLONASS satellite navigation system used in the Smerch missile system . The Tornado - S will have guided rocket rounds enabling it to fire out to 72 miles ( 120 km ) . The Tornado - S will have a longer range and increased effectiveness due to the use of new warhead payloads and a reduced launch readiness time of just three minutes . The Tornado - G and S are currently going through state acceptance trails . Variants . The 9A52 - 4 Tornado system is a direct competitor of the US HIMARS ; in other words it is a lightweight rocket launcher . Even so , there are two other systems based on the MZKT - 79306 truck and on the Kamaz 6x6 truck . The system based on the MZKT truck is a modular MLRS and can carry two BM - 27 Uragan launching modules or two BM - 30 Smerch launching modules . The system based on a Kamaz chassis is subject to confusion . The " Tornado - G " system is an upgrade package for the existing BM - 21 Grad . Even so , the Russian government ordered 36 new " Tornado - G " based on the Kamaz 6X6 chassis , instead of the old systems , based on the Ural - 4320 truck .

Changdao Changdao ( ) was a type of anti - cavalry sword used in China during the Ming Dynasty . Sometimes called " Miao dao " ( a similar but more recent weapon ) , the Japan ese ōdachi very much resembles this blade . This weapon was adopted by General Qi Jiguang , who acquired a Kage - ryū ( Aizu ) manual from Japanese wokou , studied and modified it for his troops and used against enemies on the Mongol border circa 1560 . It replaced the zhǎn mǎ dāo as a " horse slaying " weapon ; if the Japanese blades were derivatives of the zhǎnmǎdāo , the changdao would effectively be a third - generation replacement of the original sword . At the time of General Qi it had a specified length of 1 . 95 meters , similar to the Japanese ōdachi . Its handle was long , apparently slightly more than one - third of its total length , and its curve shallower than that of Japanese swords . Commanding up to 100 , 000 troops on the Mongol border , General Qi found this weapon so effective that up to forty percent of his commandos had it as a weapon ; it stayed in service throughout the late Ming dynasty .
