Fortified Sector of Montbéliard The Fortified Sector of Montbéliard ( " Secteur Fortifié de Montbéliard " ) was the French military organization that in 1940 controlled the section of the French border with Switzerland in the vicinity of Montbéliard . The Montbéliard sector stands in the vicinity of the Belfort Gap , a traditional invasion route into eastern France . However , the area was lightly defended , as the Swiss border was not regarded as an area with a high risk of invasion , and because the left bank of the Rhine was firmly in French hands . Concept and organization . The Montbéliard sector was chiefly composed of old Séré de Rivières system fortifications constructed to defend the Belfort Gap . The main positions were the Fort du Mont Bart and the Fort du Lomont . Command . The Montbéliard sector was under the command of the Fortified Region of Belfort until 16 March 1940 , when the Belfort region became the 44th Army Fortress Corps ( " 44e Corps d ' Armée de Forteresse " ) , retaining the Montbéliard sector under its command . The sector ' s commanding general was General de Bizemont until 19 May 1940 , then Colonel Gard , with a command post at the Fort de Lomont . The sector was known as the Defensive Sector of Montbéliard until 16 March 1940 . No field army forces were assigned to the sector . At the midpoint of the Battle of France on 1 June 1940 , the troops of the SF Montbéliard amounted to a " chasseurs pyrénéens " regiment in two battalions , comprising 235 officers and 7 , 390 men .

British H - class submarine The British H - class submarines were Holland 602 type submarine s used by the Royal Navy . The submarine s constructed for the British Royal Navy between 1915 and 1919 were designed and built in response to German boats which mined British waters and sank coastal shipping with ease due to their small size . The H class was therefore created to perform similar operations in German waters , and to attack German submarines operating in British waters . Despite their cramped size and lack of a deck gun , the class became enormously popular amongst submariners , and saw action all around the British Isles , some being transferred as far as the Adriatic . Due to the later arrival of most of the class , they were unable to have a massive impact , only achieving two victories ( the German submarines and ) for the loss of four of their own number in the First World War . Post - war many were retained in the Royal Navy for training purposes , and four more were lost in wrecks during the 1920s . At the outbreak of the Second World War they were hopelessly obsolete , but nevertheless were retained in training and coastal warfare roles to help the Royal Navy cope with heavy losses to the submarine fleet during the early stages of the war . Two were sunk during this duty by German countermeasures . The Canada built boats were equipped with Fessenden transducer s , which were missing from the US built boats . Boats . Group 1 . Group 1 was built in Canada at the Canadian Vickers Yards in Montreal before being transported across the Atlantic and deployed from Britain . This was necessary because British shipyards were too overcrowded and busy to construct submarines at this time . Group 2 . The second group was constructed simultaneously with the first group , but at Fore River Yard at Quincy . Massachusetts in the then neutral United States . When the US government discovered the construction , they impounded all the completed units , only releasing them following their own declaration of war two years later . To escape this difficulty , the British government gave six units to the Chilean Navy as partial payment for the appropriation of six Chilean ships for British service in 1914 Group 3 . Group 3 was the largest group , and was constructed in 1917 – 1919 in Britain , shipyard space having been granted to the project and more boats needed following the seizure of those building in the United States . They were built by Vickers , Cammell Laird , Armstrong Whitworth and William Beardmore at several locations , and most of the boats enjoyed long careers in the Royal Navy .

Sheikh Ali ( Hazara tribe ) The Sheikh Ali , also known as Dai Kalan , are a major tribe of Hazaras . They live in Afghanistan ' s Bamiyan , Parwan ( Sheikh Ali District ) , Kunduz and Baghlan provinces , inhabiting the road from Kabul to Mazar - i - Sharif . History . In the late 19th century , Ishaq Khan rebelled against Afghan king Abdur Rahman Khan at Mazar - e Sharif . Abdur Rahman sent a force against the Ishaq Khan , passing through the Sheikh Ali territory . During their passage the force faced many skirmishs with the local Sheikh Ali over the scarce food and fodder . Once Abdur Rahman quashed the rebellion of Ishaq , he then focused on the Sheikh Ali Hazaras . The Sheikh Ali also resisted , this low level but violent expedition by Abdur Rahman , forced the Hazaras at large to rise against Abdur Rahman , in retaliation for the attacks on the Sheikh Ali Hazaras . This Hazara uprising resulted in the Jang - i - Uruzgan ( " Battle of Uruzgan " ) . Thereafter , the Sheikh Ali faced a severe backlash from Abdur Rahman , who forcibly evicted many of them from their lands . During this process and there esattled in Kunduz , many of the Sheikh Ali Hazaras perished . Those who reached faced extinction or forced conversion to Sunni Islam . There were a few Sheikh Ali Hazaras who migrated to Quetta , the Shia ones lived with the larger Hazara group in Quetta . Pishin Sheikh Alis . A Sunni Sheikh Ali Hazara family settled in Pishin , Pakistan , north of Quetta . This family rose to prominence and its members Qazi Muhammad Essa and Qazi Muhammad Musa were among the top Muslim League leaders of Balochistan during the Pakistan Movement . Ashraf Jehangir Qazi son of Qazi Essa is a promiment Pakistani diplomat and has remained Pakistan ' s ambassador to United States , India and the United Nations . He was also the UNSG special representative in Iraq and Sudan . Qazi Faiz Essa the current Chief Justice of the Balochistan High court is also from this family . Qazi Essa helped the Hazaras from Quetta in sending the first Hazara delegation to United Nations in the 1970s . Present . Today most of the Sunni Hazaras are from Sheikh Ali , beside from Surkh Parsa , Taimani and the Hazara - i - ghorband . Some of the Sheikh Ali Hazaras also converted to the Ismaili Shia sect , who mostly inhabit Bamiyan and Baghlan provences . Sayd Mansur Nadiri ( in Pul - i - Khumri ) , a Sheikh Ali Sayd Hazara , is the representative of the Agha Khan in Afghanistan .

William Compton ( army officer ) Sir William Compton ( 1625 – 1663 ) was an English royalist army officer . He earned the name of the " godly cavalier " in 1648 , from Oliver Cromwell , for his conduct at the siege of Colchester . Life . Compton was the third son of Spencer Compton , 2nd Earl of Northampton and his wife Mary Beaumont . At the beginning of the First English Civil War he was directed by his father to take up arms for Charles I , who gave him the command of a regiment . He was in action at the taking of Banbury . He led his men on to three attacks , and had two horses shot under him . On the surrender of the town and castle he was made lieutenant - governor under his father , and was knighted at Oxford on 12 December 1643 . The parliamentary forces of Northamptonshire , Warwick , and Coventry , came before the town of Banbury on 19 July 1644 , but he defied them . A siege lasted thirteen weeks , relieved on 26 October by his brother , James Compton , 3rd Earl of Northampton by that time . Compton continued governor of Banbury till the king left Oxford , and when the whole kingdom was submitting to the parliament he , on 8 May 1646 , surrendered upon honourable terms . In 1648 he served the king in the Kentish expedition , and in the absence of George Goring , 1st Earl of Norwich commanded as general at Greenwich .

Compton died suddenly in Drury Lane , London , on 18 October 1663 , and was buried at Compton - Wynyates , Warwickshire , where a monument was erected to his memory . Compton married Elizabeth ( née Tollemache ) , widow of William Alington , 1st Baron Alington .
Valmara 69 Valmara 69 or V - 69 is an Italian bounding anti - personnel mine manufactured by Valsella . The mine was developed from the V - 59 mine , and although the mine is no longer produced in Italy , a number of copies were produced in other countries e . g . the " SPM - 1 " manufactured by Singapore . The South African version was called the J - 69 , and was an identical copy of the Italian version . A single centre prong version was also produced . It is no longer produced by South Africa who are compliant with the Mine Ban Treaty requirements . Description . The mine has a short tubular olive green or sand colored plastic body inside which is the steel bounding body of the mine . On top of the mine is a round fuze cap with five prongs . The mine is triggered when the fuze cap tilts , either because of pressure on one of the prongs or a pull on an attached tripwire . The tilting fuze mechanism is not affected by overpressure . When the mine is triggered , a spring - loaded firing pin fires a percussion cap inside the fuze , which ignites a propelling charge at the base of the mine . The propellant charge launches the mine up out of the ground and into the air . When the mine reaches a height of approximately 50 cm above ground , an integral tether wire ( connecting it to the plastic body from which it was launched ) tugs on a spring - loaded firing pin in the body of the mine , which detonate s the main explosive charge . Embedded in a plastic fragmentation sleeve surrounding the main explosive charge are approximately 1 , 000 pre - cut steel fragments , which are projected at high velocity in all directions . The mine has a lethal radius of 25 m , but the fragments remain dangerous at a considerable distance beyond that e . g . can inflict deeply penetrating eye wounds . The time taken from triggering the mine to detonation is approximately one second , so there is no time to take cover from the blast . This mine has significant metal content , which makes it easy to find using a metal detector . However , like the majority of bounding mines , most of the Valmara 69 is hidden underground and may be difficult to see , particularly in heavy undergrowth . Additionally , the Valmara 69 may be laid along with minimum metal mine s such as the VS - 50 , which complicates the clearance process . Valsella also manufactured a completely separate electronic anti - handling device known as the VS - AR . This was a tilt - operated device , specifically designed to be fitted to any of the following Valsella products : the VS - 50 ( standard version , not the VS - 50AR ) and Valmara 69 anti - personnel mines , as well as the VS - 1 . 6 and VS - 1 . 2 anti - tank mines . The VS - AR4 has a series of fuze adaptors which allow it to be screwed into the bottom of any of those mines . It has a 10 minute mechanical arming delay ( started by removing a pin ) followed by a 30 minute electronic arming delay . The power source is 2 x 1 . 5v batteries and the operational life is longer than a year . The Valmara 69 is found in Angola , Egypt , Iran , Iraq , Turkey , Kuwait , Mozambique , Sudan , and the Western Sahara
USS Piscataqua ( 1866 ) The USS " Piscataqua " , a screw steamer , was launched 11 June 1866 by Portsmouth Navy Yard ; and commissioned 21 October 1867 with Captain Daniel Ammen in command . On 16 December 1867 , she sailed for the East Indies via the Cape of Good Hope , arriving Singapore 18 April 1868 . Serving as flagship for the Asiatic Station , she visited ports in China , Japan , and the Philippines . From 1868 to 1869 , a civil war raged in Japan ; during the course of this war , " Piscataqua " protected the lives of United States citizens and American interests . On 15 May 1869 , her name was changed to " Delaware " , and on 23 August 1870 , she departed Singapore for America . She arrived New York 19 November . Decommissioned 5 December 1870 , she remained in the New York Navy Yard until sinking in 1876 . She was sold for scrapping in February 1877 .
USS President ( 1812 ) USS " President " was a 12 - gun sloop and the second United States Navy ship to carry the name . Her dimensions and builder are unknown , but she was originally purchased by the War Department on Lake Champlain and turned over to the Navy late in 1812 . " President " , together with other suitable craft that had been purchased and built , temporarily gave Americans dominance on Lake Champlain . She served simultaneously but separate from during the War of 1812 . The British squadron came down the lake to aid a British army that was attempting to invade New York along the very route John Burgoyne had chosen during the American Revolutionary War . This British squadron was defeated at Plattsburg New York on 11 September 1814 , all ships being captured except for several gunboats . Sloop " President " did not take part in the American victory , as she had been captured by the British earlier in the year and taken into the Royal Navy as " Icicle " .
Reusable Booster System The Reusable Booster System ( RBS ) was a United States Air Force research program , circa 2010 to 2012 , to develop a new prototype vertical - takeoff , horizontal - landing ( VTHL ) reusable booster and a new prototype expendable second stage to replace the existing Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle s ( EELV ) after 2025 . The program was discontinued in 2012 . History . Program funding was initially set at . " Officials anticipate awarding up to three contracts for the project , where winners would compete for individual tasks of experiments and demonstrations that address technology , processes and other attributes of a reusable booster system , or RBS . " The proposal deadline was 19 March 2011 . The Air Force had developed a notional plan to build a fleet of eight of the RBS systems , to be flown from both Vandenberg Air Force Base in California and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida . In December 2011 , Lockheed Martin was awarded a contract to build a flight demonstration vehicle , the RBS Pathfinder , which was to have been completed in 2015 . It was being developed under the Air Force Research Laboratory ' s ( AFRL ) RBS Flight and Ground Experiments ( RBS - FGE ) program . In 2012 , Lockheed began initial rocket tests . The program was discontinued in October 2012 , citing DoD funding reductions and an October 2012 negative report by the National Research Council ( NRC ) , after having expended only a small fraction of the original $ 250 million budget planned to be spent through 2019 . Among other factors , the October 2012 NRC report suggested that the Air Force " should develop and fly more than one Pathfinder test vehicle design [ and that ] competition amongst RBS concepts should be maintained as long as possible to obtain the best system for the next generation of space launch . " Propulsion . A large - liquid - engine group comprising the Air Force Space Command , propulsion researchers from AFRL and SMC ' s launch systems program office is also meeting to discuss engine options . The group will consider whether to focus on developing oxygen - rich , staged combustion ( ORSC ) engines like the Air Force ' s long - running Hydrocarbon Boost program , use an existing design like the TR - 107 or evolve a newer engine such as Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne ' s J - 2X or RL60 . Whatever path is chosen would result in building an engine capable of roughly 250 , 000 lb . thrust by 2020 .
Spanish ironclad Numancia The Spanish ironclad " Numancia " was an armored frigate bought from France during the 1860s .
