She also had a cluster of three 100 cp electric lens lanterns mounted in a gallery at each masthead , a twelve inch steam chime whistle and a hand operated fog bell weighing 1 , 000 pounds . The ship ' s propulsion was supplied by a single surface condensing engine and a scotch fired boiler , with a four bladed propeller eight inches in diameter . She was 122 feet long with a beam width of twenty - eight feet and a draft of thirteen feet , weighing 590 tons . " LV - 71 " had a speed of 8 . 5 knots and was equipped with telegraph in 1904 , and an eighteen inch searchlight in 1905 . Career . The ship was assigned to Diamond Shoal Light near Hatteras , North Carolina on March 9 , 1898 though she was originally intended to patrol Overfall Shoal in Delaware Bay . For the next twenty years until her sinking " LV - 71 " remained at Diamond Shoals , alternating out with " LV - 69 " . In 1912 " LV - 71 " was modernized again and was fitted with a two - way radio . World War I . Upon America ' s entry into World War I on April 6 of 1917 , " LV - 71 " continued to operate as she had for the past several years . On August 6 , 1918 , exactly one year and four months after the United States ' declaration of war on Germany , the lightship was patrolling off North Carolina when she came across the sinking American cargo ship SS " Merak " . The " Merak " had been sailing off Diamond Shoals from New York to the West Indies when Commander Waldemar Kophamel , of the submarine " U - 140 " , attacked her with torpedoes . One of " Merak " s crewmen spotted the wake of a torpedo so the ship took to evasive maneuvers and grounded in the process . The Germans then surfaced and began bombarding the Americans with a deck gun , but the ship ' s crew successfully escaped without being harmed . A little later the " LV - 71 " arrived and rescued the survivors ; her skipper Master Walter Barnett then sent out a warning to alert friendly ships in the area of a U - boat ' s presence . The signal was intercepted by " U - 140 " which quickly returned to the scene and sank the " LV - 71 " with gunfire after letting her twelve - member crew and the survivors of the " Merak " row to shore in a lifeboat . The two sinkings occurred about twelve miles off the coast ; residents of the nearby town of Hatteras could hear the sounds of the naval gunfire . " LV - 71 " was the first and only United States lightship sunk by enemy action .

Upon her return to the United States Navy , " S - 19 " recommissioned at Groton , Connecticut on 6 January 1923 , with Lt . Cdr . William J . Butler in command . " S - 19 " operated off the northeastern coast of the United States from 1923 – 1930 , taking part in fleet exercises off Panama in the early months of each year .

West Side Boys The West Side Boys , also known as the West Side Niggaz or the West Side Junglers , were an armed group in Sierra Leone , sometimes described as a splinter faction of the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council . The group captured and held peacekeepers from the United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone ( UNAMSIL ) and , in August 2000 , captured a patrol of British soldiers from the Royal Irish Regiment and was subsequently destroyed in an operation by the Special Air Service and Parachute Regiment in September 2000 during Operation Barras . The group was influenced to some extent by American rap and gangsta rap music , especially Tupac Shakur , and the " gangsta " culture portrayed therein . Since the title ' West Side Niggaz ' would have been an entirely unacceptable phrase to be regularly used on news programmes concerning the group , the title was amended to render it to the innocuous ' West Side Boys ' . Prior to their destruction , the group ' s size had expanded to around 600 , but shrunk due to later defections of about 200 members . Many members of the group were children abducted after their parents had been killed by the " recruiters " . Some of these children were forced to participate in torturing their parents to death in order to brutalise and dehumanise them . ( See military use of children . ) The West Side Boys were heavy users of homemade palm wine , locally grown marijuana , and heroin bought with conflict diamonds . Conflict diamonds were also used to purchase many of their weapons , which ranged from SLR rifles , AK - 47 rifles and RPG - 7 grenade launchers to 81 mm mortars and ZPU - 2 anti - aircraft guns . Most of their vehicles were hijacked from UN food convoys . One of the hostages rescued during Operation Barras has also claimed that the West Side Boys were supplied with ammunition by corrupt Jordanian UN peacekeepers . Description . At the time that the West Side Boys were active , large areas of Sierra Leone were controlled by militias . However , there existed no provable connections to the main rebel group in Sierra Leone , the Revolutionary United Front . Frequently the subject of British media , due in part to their kidnapping of British soldiers and their flamboyant character , romanticised by the BBC ' s reporting language : " They were known for wearing bizarre clothing - women ' s wigs and flip - flops were favourites - and being almost perpetually drunk . " A 2008 article published in the Journal of Modern African Studies offers an alternative view of the West Side Boys as an effective military unit employing military and political techniques to achieve defined goals , as opposed to a criminal gang with no political purpose engendered by the perpetual lawlessness and social breakdown of the country .
Combination K Combination K was a type of composite armor . History . Combination K was fitted onto the Soviet T - 64 A . The mix . Combination K is a three - layer composite armor consisting of outer and inner layer of steel and middle layer of glass - reinforced plastic ( " steklotekstolit " ) and a pack of ceramic ( allegedly corundum ) plates . The T - 72 tanks have their gun turret frontal armour composed of three layers : outer and inner layers of steel and middle layer of sand or quartz ( " kvartz " , probably the origin of the " K " in the name ; also implies some relationship between the T - 64A and the kvartz composite ) . The gun turrets are cast with internal cavities on each side of the main gun , which are later filled with the desired composite material . Some Russian sources describe the material as " peschannye sterzhni " ( " sand rods " or more likely " sandbars " ) , likely made of a form of silica similar to fused silica developed in the USA for the T95 prototype medium tank s in the 1952 program for equipping tanks with protection against shaped charge s and HEAT rounds without sacrificing protection against kinetic energy penetrator s . The same design of cast - steel turret with cavities for composite insets is reportedly used also in the more modern T - 80 and T - 90 tanks .

Fort Pitt , Kent Fort Pitt was a fort built between 1805 and 1819 on the high ground of the boundary between Chatham and Rochester , Kent . It did not last long because it became a hospital for invalid soldiers in 1828 , with an asylum added in 1849 . Prompted by Florence Nightingale , the first Army Medical School was founded there in 1860 , then to move to Netley in Hampshire in 1863 . By the 1920s the hospital was closed and the site converted into a girls school , now known as Fort Pitt Grammar School . The University for the Creative Arts building also occupies part of the site of the original fort and some original brickwork remains visible at the side of the building . Most of the outer defences of the fort survive including parts of the outer works which extend into the adjacent recreation grounds to the east and west . Some of the internal buildings date to the period of use as a hospital and possibly earlier , maybe even preceding the defensive works . From the hill it is possible to see Fort Clarence tower to the west , and the remains of Fort Amherst to the north east . A ditch , wall and ( reputedly ) tunnels were to link the three into a single fortified Napoleonic defensive line , defending the naval docks against a ( land - based ) attack from the south . Fort Pitt is also the location of the fictional duel between Mr . Tracy Tupman and Dr . Slammer in Charles Dickens ' novel " The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club " . References . Notes

The site has been excavated 1891 - 1892 , 1937 and 1950 - 1954 . The ruins are on a forested island in the middle of the Svartå river and can only be reached on foot .
