Focke - Wulf Fw 159 The Focke - Wulf Fw 159 was an experimental German fighter of the 1930s that never reached production . The Focke - Wulf company designed the aircraft as one of the four entries for the " Rüstungsflugzeug " IV ( " Armed Aircraft IV " ) 1934 fighter competition . Its parasol wing configuration was based on the company ' s successful trainer product , the Focke - Wulf Fw 56 " Stösser " and it used a Junkers Jumo 210 engine . The plane had a rearwards - retracting . lever action suspension main undercarriage , retracting completely into the lower fuselage , and an enclosed cockpit , although the main undercarriage mechanism was very complicated , fragile and proved endlessly troublesome . The first prototype - Fw - 159 " V - 1 " - was ready in the spring of 1935 , but was destroyed when it crash - landed , following the failure of the main undercarriage to deploy properly . The second prototype - " V - 2 " - had a reinforced undercarriage .

It replaced the earlier Type 88 75 mm AA Gun in Japanese service . History and development .

It was one of the few weapons in the Japanese inventory capable of reaching the USAAF B - 29 Superfortress bombers that were attacking cities and other targets in the Japanese home islands . However , despite its superior range and firepower , the Type 3 gun could not be produced in sufficient quantities to be truly effective , due to costs , lack of raw materials and damage to Japan ’ s industrial infrastructure by Allied air raids . Only 120 units were completed before production was discontinued , although the units produced continued to be used until the surrender of Japan . Design . The Type 3 12 cm AA gun had a single piece gun barrel with sliding breech , mounted on a central pedestal . The firing platform was supported by five legs , each of which ( along with the central pedestal ) had adjustable screwed foot for leveling . Combat record .

USS Housatonic ( SP - 1697 ) The second USS " Housatonic " was the Southern Pacific freighter " El Rio " temporarily converted for planting the World War I North Sea Mine Barrage .

The United States Shipping Board took control of the ship from Southern Pacific Steamship Company in 1917 . Conversion . She was fitted out for United States Navy service at Tietjen & Lang ' s shipyard at Hoboken , New Jersey . Work began on 25 November 1917 . Gun platforms were added for two anti - aircraft guns forward and a 5 " / 51 caliber gun aft . The minelaying conversion enabled her to carry mines on three decks , and included six Otis elevators individually capable of transferring two mines every 20 seconds from the storage decks to the launching deck . Stern ports were cut for launching the mines and the rudder quadrant was raised to give adequate clearance . Watertight subdivision was improved by strengthening existing bulkheads and building two new bulkheads to divide the largest compartments so the ship might stay afloat if only one compartment were flooded . Quarters were enlarged to accommodate messing and berthing arrangements for a crew of about 400 . The main machinery was overhauled and auxiliary machinery was added for the elevators , for heating the berthing spaces , for refrigerated food storage , for additional fresh water distilling capacity , for magazine sprinklers and galley and washroom plumbing , and enlarged electric generators for lighting and radio communications . Existing coal bunkers on the third deck were replaced with a bunker in the hold forward of the boiler room with chutes to load coal over the mines . Larger boats and heavier anchors required larger davits and anchor windlass , and the mines required specialized handling machinery . Wartime service . USS " Housatonic " was commissioned on 25 January 1918 with Captain John Greenslade , USN , in command . While operating as part of Mine Squadron 1 out of Inverness , Scotland , from 7 June until the close of the war on 11 November 1918 , " Housatonic " : " Housatonic " then made three trips returning soldiers of the American Expeditionary Forces to the United States before decommissioning on 5 August 1919 for return to Southern Pacific Steamship Company . Big Four . In the words of British Rear Admiral Lewis Clinton - Baker , the North Sea mine barrage was the " biggest mine planting stunt in the world ' s history . " The United States converted eight civilian steamships as minelayers for the 100 , 000 mines manufactured for the barrage . The largest of these were four freighters owned by Southern Pacific Steamship Company . Southern Pacific Transportation Company had evolved from the First Transcontinental Railroad to become the dominant transportation provider in California . Owners of the original Central Pacific Railroad were known as the Big Four . Sailors similarly referred to these former Southern Pacific ships as the Big Four .
