USS SC - 1012 USS " SC - 1012 " was a submarine chaser in the United States Navy during World War II . " SC - 1012 " was built by the Fellows and Craft Shipbuilders and launched on 28 December 1942 . Commissioned on 18 August 1943 . She was involved in several campaigns during World War II and traveled many miles across and throughout the South Pacific escorting convoys , providing Harbormaster duties and pre - invasion reconnaissance . Service history . In February 1944 , the SC - 1012 , commanded by Lt . ( jg ) E . Gordon Myers ( 22 January 1918 – 4 July 1962 ) was in a convoy when was torpedoed . The escort ships , and along with " SC - 1012 " , formed a Hunter - Killer group and began a systematic search for the submarine which had torpedoed her . No confirmed kill was recorded , but no further offensive action was seen from the submarine . During the " SC - 1012 " s Harbormaster duties , in the Keramerati Island Group , they had just escorted an ammunition ship to dock ; when " SC - 1012 " was targeted by a kamikaze . The crew was at battle stations and had just prepared to open fire when the pilot , apparently spotting a better target , broke off his attack and slammed into the ammunition ship which burned for three or four days . During the pre - invasion reconnaissance of the islands , Col . " Squeeky " Anderson was the commanding officer for the landing forces . He would routinely board " SC - 1012 " and go with them to map out the landing zones . During the actual invasion , " SC - 1012 " would stand by at a preset location and the landing craft would then home in on her , aiming to the right or the left of where " SC - 1012 " was stationed . This type of " spotting " enabled the landing ships to hit their target without using any other guidance systems . " SC - 1012 " was extremely fortunate in not losing any crewmembers to any sort of enemy action . However , she was damaged beyond repair when Typhoon Louise hit the Seaplane Base on Okinawa in October 1945 , and the " SC - 1012 " was destroyed on 1 January 1946 .
ASU - 57 The ASU - 57 was a small , lightly constructed Soviet assault gun specifically designed for use by Soviet airborne divisions . From 1960 it was replaced by the ASU - 85 . Development history . The task to develop a light - weight airborne assault gun with 57 or 76mm gun for the airborne troops was given to two design bureaus , Astrov ( OKB - 40 ) in Mytishchi and Kravtsev in Moscow . Nikolaj Astrov ' s OKB - 40 designed the ASU - 76 , based on components of the light tank T - 70 and the SU - 76 assault gun , and armed with the new 76mm gun D - 56T . The ASU - 76 turned out to be too heavy , even though the armour was only 3 mm thick , and the project was cancelled . Anatoly Kravtsev ' s team came up with the similar , amphibious K - 73 . This vehicle was armed with Charnko ' s 57mm anti - tank gun Ch - 51 and was even more thinly armoured than the ASU - 76 . This project too was shelved . In 1949 , Astrov was instructed to continue with his project , but with reduced weight and with the Ch - 51 gun as main armament instead of the D - 56T since it offered better anti - tank performance . The redesigned Ob . 572 was developed simultaneously with the light artillery tractor Ob . 561 ( AT - P ) and was accepted for series production from 1951 as the ASU - 57 , after successfully passing the various test phases in 1949 . Design . The ASU - 57 was designed to be a light - weight assault gun that could be air - dropped and deployed by rocket - assisted parachute ( PP - 128 - 500 or P - 7 ) along with the troops . It was lightly armored and armed with a 57 mm gun Ch - 51 , a development of World War II ZIS - 2 but with some similarities to the Ch - 26 . From 1954 , an improved 57mm gun Ch - 51M with much shorter double - baffle muzzle brake was fitted . The gun fired standard caliber 57x480R ammunition of the ZIS - 2 anti - tank gun , such as the BR - 271 series and the O - 271U , of which it had 30 on board . The ASU - 57 ' s engine was taken from the GAZ - M - 20 " Pobeda " civilian car . The ASU - 57 was a successful design , and saw service with Soviet airborne divisions for around 20 years before being replaced by the ASU - 85 . During its years of operation 54 vehicles would have been assigned to each airborne division . One main drawback was the vehicle ' s welded aluminum hull , which offered little protection for the crew . However for airborne troops such vehicles are invaluable , giving lightly armed soldiers who are isolated behind enemy lines mobile artillery support on the battlefield . Every vehicle was equipped with a radio 10 RT - 12 and intercom system TPU - 47 . Late - production models ( from 1961 ) had the R - 113 and R - 120 , as well as a TVN - 2 night vision device for the driver .

" , ( properly pronounced by its acronym " Bee Ay Are " , not " bar " ) was an American Support weapon used during WWII the Korean War and the Vietnam War it was actually deployed into the battlefield on the last year of world war I . History . The B . A . R . ( Browning Automatic Rifle ) was first issued in February 1918 , designed by John M . Browning and manufactured by Browning , Colt , Winchester repeating arms Co . , and Marlin - Rockwell Co . This automatic weapon , which fired from an open bolt so it would stay cooler under sustained fire , allowed the individual soldier to lay down a tremendous amount of fire , provided a clear advantage in the trench warfare of World War I , and with this weapon came a tremendous amount of responsibility for its user and required specialized training to use . However , top American brass were afraid that if captured the weapon would be reverse engineered and used against American troops so it wasn ' t put into service until late in the war . As a result it was introduced too late to see much action . The weapon saw use between the World Wars by American gangsters who obtained these weapons from surplus , or stole them from armories and the police . The infamous Clyde Barrow , of Bonnie & Clyde , was known to use a modified version of the B . A . R . The B . A . R . was used widely during WWII and the Korean War by American forces and even saw some action during the Vietnam War . It is still regarded as one of the best weapons ever made , and will be around for many more generations to come . Although officially retired from U . S service in 1957 , it is still in full use by dozens of smaller nations across the world . The B . A . R . during World War II was issued as a squad support weapon , designed to provide suppressing fire while the assaulting teams flank the enemy , though manuals of arms of the time called for each squad to be issued one B . A . R . , infantry would try to acquire an additional B . A . R . for increased firepower . The weapon fires the . 30 - 06 caliber cartridge ( the same round as the Springfield 1903 rifles , M1 Garand , Browning 30 . Cal machine gun and the Johnson LMG . ) loaded in twenty - round magazines . It fulfilled the role of a S . A . W . ( Squad Automatic Weapon ) and is very effective at providing suppressing fire for squad tactics as well as high penetration power . It was generally issued with a folding bipod but soldiers in the field usually discarded them to save weight

Sabretache A sabretache is a flat bag or pouch , which was worn suspended from the belt of a hussar cavalry soldier together with the sabre . Origins . The sabretache is derived from a traditional Hungarian horseman ' s flat leather bag called a tarsoly . Early examples have been found the tombs of Magyar warriors from the 10th century Conquest of Pannonia . They were often strengthened and decorated with silver plates and would have contained fire - making tools and other essentials . Military use . In the early 18th century , hussar cavalry became popular amongst the European powers , and a " tarsoly " was often a part of the accoutrements . The German name " sabretache " was adopted , " tache " meaning " pocket " . It fulfilled the function of a pocket , which were absent from the tight fitting uniform of the hussar style . Part of the wartime function of the light cavalry was to deliver orders and dispatches ; the sabertache was well suited to hold these . The large front flap was usually heavily embroidered with a royal cypher or regimental crest , and could be used as a firm surface for writing . By the 19th century , other types of cavalry , such as lancers , also wore them . In the British Army , sabretaches were first adopted at the end of the 18th century by light dragoon regiments , four of which acquired " hussar " status in 1805 . They were still being worn in combat by British cavalry during the Crimean War ; " undress " versions in plain black patent leather were used on active duty . The Prussian Guard Hussars wore theirs in the Franco - Prussian War . In most European armies , sabretaches were gradually abandoned for use in the field before the turn of the 20th century , but were retained by some regiments for ceremonial occasions . Sabretaches are now much sought after by collectors of militaria .
