Mk 101 Lulu The Mark 101 Lulu was an air - dropped nuclear depth bomb ( NDB ) developed by the United States in the 1950s . It utilized a W34 nuclear warhead , with a yield of about 11 kilotons . It was deployed by the United States Navy for the purposes of anti - submarine warfare , in five different models , from 1958 until 1971 . Weapons were also stockpiled at overseas allied bases under American military guard for use by maritime aircraft of NATO allies , notably at RAF St . Mawgan , Cornwall , for use by Royal Air Force Avro Shackleton aircraft , and the Dutch Navy P - 2 Neptune and P - 3 Orion aircraft . The Mk - 101 " Lulu " began to be replaced by the multi - purpose B57 nuclear bomb in the mid - 1960s . The B - 57 was a bomb that could be used by tactical strike aircraft in a land warfare role , as well as a nuclear depth bomb . The Mk - 101 " Lulu " had a length of 7 ft 6 in , diameter of 1 ft 6 in , and weighed 1 , 200 lbs . In RAF service for carriage by Shackleton MR2 and MR3 maritime patrol bombers it was known as Bomb , AS , 1200 lb , MC . This weapon lacked an important safety / arming device i . e . there were no sensors to detect free - fall from an aircraft which would result from the bomb being intentionally dropped in flight . As a result , if an armed Mk 101 bomb accidentally fell off an aircraft whilst it was parked on the flight deck of a warship and then rolled overboard , it could automatically detonate when it sank to the preset depth . The W34 boosted - fission warhead used in the Mk - 101 " Lulu " was also used in several other similar weapons , and a version referred to as ' Peter ' was used as a thermonuclear primary in the British Yellow Sun and as the " Python " in the U . S . ( The B28 nuclear bomb ) .

Caproni A . P . 1 Caproni Bergamaschi AP . 1 was an Italian attack aircraft monoplane designed by Cesare Pallavicino , coming from the Breda firm . Design and development . Developed from the Ca . 301 , a single - seat fighter version of a similar design that was not put into production , the AP . 1 was a two - seater version , fitted with a more powerful Alfa Romeo radial . Designed to serve both as a fighter and an attack aircraft , it was a low - wing monoplane with a fixed , trousered ( spats are when the wheels are covered , trousers cover the landing gear legs ) undercarriage , of mixed construction . Although it was a monoplane at a time when many of the air forces of the world were flying biplanes , the Caproni was still an anachronism with fixed landing gear ( at that time , most planes also had fixed landing gear ) . The AP . 1 prototype first flew on 27 April 1934 . An initial series of 12 aircraft was delivered within 1936 . In the same year , the " Regia Aeronautica " ordered a second series with improvements including a more powerful Alfa Romeo engine and more aerodynamic landing gear . In service , the large landing gear spats were often removed for ease of maintenance . Operational history . The Caproni AP . 1 equipped a total of eight " squadriglie " ( Italian air unit equivalent to half an RAF squadron ) of the assault wings of the " Regia Aeronautica " . It took part in the Spanish Civil War , but its unsatisfactory performance led to its quick replacement with the also disappointing Breda Ba . 64 , Ba . 65 and Ba . 88 types . Four examples were acquired by El Salvador for use in the " Escuadrilla de Caza " ( a fifth aircraft was shipped to replace an aircraft which crashed during a ferrying flight ) , and another seven were sold to Paraguay and used in the Chaco Postwar period ( 1939 - 1945 ) . Another 10 aircraft ordered by Paraguay were diverted to the " Regia Aeronautica " .
Richmond rifle The Richmond rifle was a rifled musket produced by the Richmond Armory in Richmond , Virginia , for use by the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War . Background . At the start of the Civil War , the Confederacy suffered from a lack of resources with the capability to produce small arms weapons . Virginia appropriated funds to modernize the Old State Armory building in Richmond with arms - making machinery manufactured in England ; but the confrontation at Fort Sumter initiated the Union blockade which prevented delivery of the machinery . In 1861 , the Confederacy captured the Union - held town of Harper ' s Ferry in western Virginia , and salvaged the machinery used to manufacture Springfield Model 1855 muskets . Confederate troops captured 33 , 993 black walnut stocks with the machinery . The machinery and stocks were shipped on the Winchester and Potomac Railroad to Winchester , Virginia , where they were transferred by wagons over the Valley Pike to be reloaded onto the Manassas Gap Railroad at Strasburg , Virginia for delivery to Richmond . The rifling machinery was transferred to the Fayetteville Arsenal . Production history . The Old State Armory building with Harpers Ferry Machinery was transferred to Confederate States control in June 1861 . Production began in October 1861 retaining the general form of the Model 1855 , but without the Maynard tape primer mechanism and patch box . The lock plate milling machine was modified in March 1862 to make manual capping easier by lowering the characteristic tape primer hump . Forged iron butt plates were replaced by brass butt plates concurrently with the lock modification . Most Confederate rifles also differed from the Union rifles they were based on with a different rear sight and brass nosecap . Gun stock machinery was moved south in response to Union advances ; and become operational in the former railway depot at Macon , Georgia in October 1862 . Finished stocks were shipped to Richmond by rail . Richmond Armory began production of a cavalry carbine in November 1862 by reducing barrel length to and overall length to . Gun stock production at Macon peaked at two thousand per month in April 1863 . Attempts were made to harvest stock blanks in North Carolina when the supply of captured gun stocks was exhausted , but Union sympathizers burned the North Carolina sawmill . Gun stock machinery was evacuated from Macon to avoid Sherman ' s March to the Sea . Production at Richmond shifted to a short rifle with a barrel to use shorter pieces of wood considered unsuitable for normal length rifles until the vanishing wood supply halted production in January 1865 .
