Admiralty type flotilla leader The Admiralty type leader , sometimes known as the " Scott " class , were a class of eight destroyer leader s designed and built for the Royal Navy towards the end of World War I . They were named after Scottish historical leaders . The function of a leader was to carry the flag staff of a destroyer flotilla , therefore they were enlarged to carry additional crew , offices and signalling equipment , allowing a fifth gun to be carried . These ships were very similar to the Thornycroft type leader , but the latter had broad , slab - sided funnels characteristic of Thornycroft designs , the Admiralty type having two narrow funnels of equal height . All except " Mackay " and " Malcolm " were completed in time for wartime service , " Scott " being a war loss . The two final orders - " Barrington " and " Hughes " - were cancelled with the end of the War ; these two had originally been ordered to the Thornycroft leader design . " Stuart " was transferred to Australia in 1933 . All the remaining ships except " Bruce " ( expended as a target ship in 1939 ) survived service in World War II , being converted to escort ships . " Montrose " and " Stuart " had Brown - Curtis steam turbines , giving for an extra ½ knot . Ships . The prototype was ordered in April 1916 under the War Emergency Programme : Two more were ordered in December 1916 : Five more were ordered in April 1917 . The second vessel was originally named " Claverhouse " , but was renamed " Mackay " 31 December 1918 : Finally , two more were ordered in April 1918 , but were cancelled with the end of the War :

Conflict ( board game ) Conflict is a military board game that was produced by Parker Brothers from about 1940 to about 1972 . It had a large board divided into many small squares . The board was 24 squares by 24 squares . The squares representing land were colored two shades of brown . The squares representing the sea were colored two shades of blue . Artillery pieces could travel on land , ships on the sea , and airplanes over land or sea . The pieces ( made of metal ) were various colors ( red , orange , sea green , and yellow ) so that up to four people could play . Each person started by putting their pieces on one of the four corners of the board . The number of squares the pieces could move were determined by the roll of the dice .
Barrage attack ( naval tactic ) The barrage attack was developed during the Battle of the Atlantic in World War II as an anti submarine measure . It was first used by 2 Support Group of the Royal Navy after being developed by the Group ' s commanding officer , Captain " Johnnie " Walker . The barrage attack was a measure devised by Walker to deal with a U - boat that had gone deep , and was using the time taken by the attacking escort ’ s depth charge s to sink to move aside . The design of submarines , to resist the enormous pressure of the water at depth , made them also resistant to the effects of underwater explosions ; a depth charge of the Second World War would need to explode within 26 feet of its target to have any serious effect . The barrage , referred to by the group as “ the bosses special ” involved three ships moving in line abreast over the target area ; at the word of command each ship would lay a series of depth charge patterns , one after the other , in a carpet . The cumulative effect of the explosions , sometimes up to 80 in one attack would have a devastating effect on their target . The barrage was expensive of resources , and could quickly empty an escort ’ s magazine , so it could only be used on stubborn cases . The practice of equipping convoy ships with reserves of depth charges to re - arm escorts when necessary went some way to alleviate this problem . The advent of more effective weapons , such as Squid and the Mk X depth charge also made the barrage less necessary .
Job Maseko Job Maseko or Job Masego ( died 1952 ) was a South African soldier during World War II , serving in the Native Military Corps ( NMC ) .

When German tank s and self - propelled gun s penetrated his left flank and overwhelming infantry forces threatened to overrun the 1 remaining machinegun in that section , he ran 400 yards through woods churned by artillery and mortar concentrations to strengthen the defense . With the 1 remaining gunner , he directed furious fire into the advancing hordes until they swarmed close to the position . He left the gun , boldly charged the attackers and , after a 15 - minute exchange of hand grenade s , forced them to withdraw leaving 30 dead behind . He re - crossed the fire - swept terrain to his then threatened right flank , exhorted his men and directed murderous fire from the single machinegun at that position . There , in the light of bursting mortar shells , he again closed with the enemy in a hand grenade duel and , after a fierce 30 - minute battle , forced the Germans to withdraw leaving another 20 dead . The gallantry and intrepidity of T / Sgt . Everhart in rallying his men and refusing to fall back in the face of terrible odds were highly instrumental in repelling the fanatical enemy counterattack directed at the American bridgehead across the Moselle River .
