5 " / 54 caliber Mark 16 gun The 5 " / 54 caliber Mark 16 gun ( 5 - inch , 127 mm ) was a late World War II – era naval artillery gun mount used by the United States Navy and Japan Maritime Self - Defense Force . These guns , designed specifically for the s , were to be the replacement for the 5 " / 38 caliber secondary gun batteries then in widespread use with the US Navy . The 5 " / 54 cal gun turrets were similar to the 5 " / 38 caliber gun mounts in that they were equally adept in an anti - aircraft role and for damaging smaller ships , but differed in that they weighed more , fired heavier rounds of ammunition , and resulted in faster crew fatigue than the 5 " / 38 cal guns . The ammunition storage for the 5 " / 54 cal gun was 500 rounds per turret , and the guns could fire at targets nearly 26 , 000 yd ( 24 km ) away at a 45° angle . At an 85° angle , the guns could hit an aerial target at over 50 , 000 ft ( 15 , 000 m ) . The cancellation of the " Montana " - class battleships in 1943 pushed back the combat debut of the 5 " / 54 cal guns to 1945 , when they were used aboard the US Navy ' s s . The guns proved adequate for the carrier ' s air defense , but were gradually phased out of use by the carrier fleet because of their weight ( rather than having the carrier defend itself by gunnery the task would be assigned to other surrounding ships within a carrier battle group ) .

At RAF Hednesford new recruits into the RAF were given their initial training , which included first learning of RAF parade ground drill with rifles , intensive physical fitness training , training in ground combat and defence under Non Commissioned Officers of the RAF Regiment and some education about the RAF and its history . Men while undergoing their basic training at Hednesford were accommodated in wooden barrack huts , each one housing about twenty men . Because Hednesford was a basic training camp with no airfield there , discipline was very much stricter than it would be at any normal RAF operational or trade training camp . Recruits normally spent a period of 8 weeks on their training at Hednesford before being posted on to their " trade training " camp elsewhere in the United Kingdom . Thousands of conscripts went through its gates up until 1955 . The station was subsequently used as a refugee camp for Hungarians fleeing the Hungarian Uprising of 1956 . It was located just south of Cannock Chase , which was designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1958 .

Mississippi River campaigns in the American Civil War The Mississippi campaign was an economic problem created by the Union during the American Civil War in which Union Army troops , helped by gunboat s and river ironclad s took control over the Mississippi River , therefore virtually splitting the Confederate territory in two while also controlling the South ' s main artery of transport . The campaign was planned from the outset of the war as an integral part of the Anaconda Plan for economic ' strangulation ' of the South . It started in February 1862 with Union forces pushing down from Cairo , Illinois into Confederate territory and ended with the surrender of Vicksburg on July 4 , 1863 . Although an important role in the Mississippi campaign was played by armored paddle steamers , the campaign was a pure US Army undertaking , as the ships used were under Army command and were used as army transports and floating gun stations rather than independent battleships . The only exception was the siege of Vicksburg where the army , marching downstream met up with the US Navy under admiral Farragut sailing upstream and the two combined their forces for an all - out land - and - sea shelling of the town . The Army expedition was commanded by Henry W . Halleck , Ulysses S . Grant , and Nathaniel P . Banks , while Andrew H . Foote and David D . Porter commanded the Mississippi River Squadron . Foote and Porter were Navy admirals , but were under direct command of the US army and most of their boats were either converted paddle steamers or purpose - built gunboats that had never seen the sea . Because of this , the Mississippi River Squadron quickly became known as the Brown - water navy . ( A reference to the hashbrown , muddy water of the Mississippi , as compared to the deep blue commonly associated with the sea ) . The campaign saw the first practical use of river gunboat s and river ironclad s , in particular the Cairo class ironclad paddle steamers built by James B . Eads in St . Louis and Cairo , Illinois . It also saw the use of sea mines ( At that time called " torpedoes " , the term being applied to the self - propelled warheads only later ) , torpedo ram s and a brief Confederate experiment in deploying a casemate ironclad , the " Arkansas " , in a river defense role . Important battles in the Mississippi campaign were the capture of Fort Henry and Fort Donelson , the Island No . 10 and the battles of Memphis , Vicksburg , and Port Hudson .
