Gordon Castle Gordon Castle is located in Gight , near Fochabers in Moray , Scotland . Historically known as the Bog - of - Gight , it was the principal seat of the Dukes of Gordon . Following 18th - century redevelopment , it became one of the largest country house s ever built in Scotland , although much has since been demolished . History . The original castle was built by George Gordon , 2nd Earl of Huntly in the 1470s and enlarged by his grandson . John Adam ( architect ) was commissioned with the French architect Abraham Roumieu to redesign the castle in 1764 but this did not come to fruition . Eventually the commission fell to the lesser - known Edinburgh architect , John Baxter , who rebuilt it in 1769 for Alexander Gordon , 4th Duke of Gordon . The central four storey block incorporated a six - storey medieval tower called the Bog - of - Gight , and was flanked by a pair of two - storey wings . The main facade was 568 feet ( 173 metres ) long . Most of the castle has been demolished , but the Bog - of - Gight and one of the wings — now a detached medium sized country house in its own right — survive .

Saab 91 Safir The Saab 91 Safir ( Swedish : " sapphire " ) is a three ( 91A , B , B - 2 ) or four ( 91C , D ) seater , single engine trainer aircraft . The Safir was built by Saab AB in Linköping , Sweden , ( 203 aircraft ) and by " De Schelde " in Dordrecht , Netherlands ( 120 aircraft ) . Design and development . The Safir ' s first flight on 20 November 1945 . The all - metal Safir was designed by Anders J . Andersson , who had previously worked for Bücker , where he designed the all - wood Bücker Bü 181 " Bestmann " . The Safir thus shared many conceptual features of its design with the Bestmann . The Saab 91A is powered by a 125 hp four cylinder de Havilland Gipsy Major 2c piston engine , or a 145 hp Gipsy Major 10 piston engine . The 91B , B - 2 and C have a six - cylinder Lycoming O - 435A engine with 190 hp . The 91D has a four - cylinder Lycoming O - 360 - A1A engine with 180 hp . The " Safir " was later used as a platform to test at low speeds the new swept wing for the Saab 29 and Saab 32 jet fighters . Operational history . 323 units were built in 5 versions ( A , B , B - 2 , C and D ) . The Safir was used by the Swedish , Norwegian , Finnish , Austrian , Tunisian and Ethiopean air force s as a trainer aircraft , and a single aircraft was used by the Japan Defense Agency as an STOL test platform . Major civilian users were Air France , Lufthansa and the Dutch " Rijksluchtvaartschool " ( RLS ) on the Groningen Airport Eelde , near Groningen . During development of the Saab 29 , the initial Saab 91 prototype was modified with a scaled down version of the Saab 29 ' s swept wings ; this aircraft was designated Saab 201 Experimental Aircraft . This same airframe was later fitted with wings designed for the Saab 32 Lansen ; this was designated Saab 202 . A single Saab 91 Safir was modified as the Saab X1G for research in Japan .
Sea Zenith Sea Zenith is an advanced four - barrel led 25 mm CIWS used by the Turkish Navy on their MEKO 200 frigate s , like the Barbaros and Yavuz classes . It was developed in the 1980s by Oerlikon Contraves ( Rheinmetall Air Defence since 2009 ) around their KBB gun and manufactured in Switzerland . This automatic gun uses a 25x184mm cartridge ( longer than the one used by the more common KBA gun ) at a rate of 800 rounds a minute . Using four independent guns instead of one multi - barrelled Gatling gun improves reliability . The system is mounted in an enclosed automatic turret and directed by the Seaguard radar developed by Contraves . The turret is tilted back to allow a higher elevation to intercept diving missiles . The system ' s primary purpose is defence against anti - ship missiles , and other precision guided weapon s . However it can also be employed against fixed / rotary wing aircraft , ships and other small craft , coastal targets , and floating mine s . Sea Zenith had a related development , the Sea Shield system . It was mounted above deck and did not have the high elevation capability of the Sea Zenith . Presented in 1989 , it was abandoned in the early 1990s . The Myriad system , developed by Breda and Contraves ( among others ) was a related weapon . It used two 25mm 7 - barrelled KBD Gatling gun , also developed by Oerlikon . Compared to the Sea Zenith , the firing rate is higher ( 10 , 000 rounds a minute ) , but the effective range is limited to one kilometer .
Bernardo Buontalenti Bernardo Buontalenti , byname of Bernardo Delle Girandole ( " c . " 1531 – June 25 or 26 , 1608 ) was an Italian stage designer , architect , theatrical designer , military engineer and artist . Biography . Buontalenti was born in Florence . He entered the service of the Medici as a youth and remained with them the rest of his life . He is said to have been instructed in painting by Salviati and Bronzino , in sculpture by Michelangelo Buonarroti , in architecture by Giorgio Vasari , and to have learned miniature painting under Giulio Clovio . He executed a number of miniatures for Francesco , the son of Cosimo I . More than a painter , he was celebrated as an architect ; in this role he was much employed in the design of fortifications , villas , and gardens and is considered one of the most important architects of the Mannerist period . He was also a great mechanic , and an excellent mathematician . In 1562 he travelled to Spain . His first known work is from 1568 , the Palazzo di Bianca Cappello in Florence . His main achievements include the project for the new city of Livorno , the decoration of Palazzo Pitti and the Boboli Gardens with the famous grotto , as well as the Parco di Pratolino of which little remains today , except for a giant sculpture by Giambologna , representing the Colossus of the Apennines . Buontalenti ' s skills as a military engineer are shown by the fortifications of the port of Livorno , the Forte di Belvedere in Florence , the city walls of Pistoia , Grosseto , Prato , Portoferraio ( Elba ) and Naples ; he also perfected designs for cannons , and devised a new type of incendiary grenade . In the Uffizi Palace of Florence , he built a great court stage , where , during the winter of 1585 – 1586 , splendid festivities were produced under his direction . He designed costumes for the Medici extravaganzas . Despite his successes , his prodigality led Buontalenti to financial ruin ; he survived in his later life thanks to a pension given him by the Grand Duke of Tuscany .
Omaha Trophy The Omaha Trophy , which is sponsored by the United States Strategic Command ( STRATCOM ) and the STRATCOM Consultation Committee , is awarded each year to U . S . military units with intercontinental ballistic missiles , strategic aircraft , strategic space and information operations , as well as to the best ballistic missile submarine . The trophy is currently presented in four official categories : Selection for the award in each of the categories is based on formal evaluations , meritorious achievement , safety , and other factors , such as community involvement and humanitarian actions . History . The Omaha Trophy was created by the Strategic Command Consultation Committee , located in Omaha , Nebraska . The trophy was originally presented as a single trophy to a unit of the U . S . Air Force ' s Strategic Air Command ( SAC ) on behalf of the citizens of Omaha . The committee requested the trophy be presented annually to the command ' s best wing as a token of recognition and appreciation . It was first presented in 1971 , with the number of awards increasing over the years as the U . S . Strategic Command ' s mission and structure changed . After the deactivation of Strategic Air Command and the creation of U . S . Strategic Command in 1992 , the committee authorized two awards . One was for the best ICBM or fleet ballistic missile submarine unit , and the other was for the unified command ' s best strategic aviation unit . In 1998 , the missile category was divided into two separate awards , with one to be presented to land - based units , and the other to sea - based missile units . In 2003 , a fourth category was added . This new category was strategic space and information operations , which was used until 2006 . It became the cyberspace category in 2007 , and global operations in 2008 . The current award of the Omaha Trophy reflects the command ' s primary missions , emphasis on strategic deterrence , and evolving role in global operations . The trophy rotates between installations annually . Officials present a miniature , replica trophy or plaque and certificate to each winning unit after the presentation trophy has been returned at the beginning of the next competitive cycle .
Darrell Cornell Darrell Cornell was Northrop ' s chief test pilot in the early 1980s . He was killed on October 10 , 1984 at Suwon Air Base , while performing a demonstration flight for the South Korean Air Force ( ROKAF ) . The F - 20 , " 82 - 0062 " , c / n GG1001 , N4416T , he was piloting stalled after a series of climbing rolls performed with flaps and gear extended . Cornell was not able to recover the aircraft from the uncontrolled stall . Cornell was also the lead test pilot for Northrop ' s RF - 5E Tigereye , a reconnaissance version of the low cost F - 5E fighter aircraft . He was featured in the April 1984 issue of LIFE magazine in an article entitled " Edwards Air Force Base Pilots " together with Doug Benefieds , Chuck Sewell , Tony LeVier , and Russell O ’ Quinn . Cornell was also an astronaut candidate with NASA in 1963 , although he was not selected to join Group 3 . His display performances flying the F - 20 in Paris , France ( Le Bourget 1983 ) and Farnborough , England in 1984 are remembered by many as some of the finest ever performed at these airshows .
1962 in the Vietnam War Operation Chopper occurred on January 12 , 1962 and was the first time US forces participated in major combat in the Vietnam War . This operation heralded a new era of air mobility for the U . S . Army , which had been slowly growing as a concept since the Army formed twelve helicopter battalion s in 1952 as a result of the Korean War . These new battalions eventually formed a sort of modern - day cavalry for the Army . Operation Sunrise First Phase of a long range counter - offensive against the Viet Cong . It was launched in the Ben Cat region of the Binh Duong Province ( 35 Miles Away from Saigon . ) The plan was to kill enemy Vietcong guerrilla forces , establishing offensive hamlets , and helping the civilians with supplies and facilities for self - defense . The 1962 South Vietnamese Independence Palace bombing in Saigon was an aerial attack on February 27 , 1962 by two dissident Vietnam Air Force pilots , Second Lieutenant Nguyễn Văn Cử and First Lieutenant Phạm Phú Quốc . The pilots targeted the Independence Palace , the official residence of the President of South Vietnam , with the aim of assassinating President Ngô Đình Diệm and his immediate family , who acted as his political advisors .
Modulated ultrasound Ultrasound can be modulated to carry an audio signal ( like radio signals are modulated ) . This is often used to carry messages underwater , in underwater diving communicators , and short - range ( under five miles ) communication with submarine s ; the received ultrasound signal is decoded into audible sound by a modulated - ultrasound receiver . Range limitation . Due to the absorption characteristics of seawater , ultrasound ( sound at frequencies greater than human hearing , or approximately greater than 20 , 000 hertz ) is not used for long - range underwater communications . The higher the frequency , the faster the sound is absorbed by the seawater , and the more quickly the signal fades . For this reason , most underwater " telephones " either operate in " baseband " mode ( at the same frequency as the voice and is basically a loudspeaker ) , in a " UQC - 1 " mode ( as definded in MIL - C - 15240D ) with a modulated carrier of 7 , 500 Hz , or in " UQC - 2 " mode ( as defined in MIL - C - 22509 ) from around 8 , 500 hertz to approximately 12 , 000 hertz , or in the later " WQC - 2 " mode from 8 , 500 hertz to approximately 100 , 000 hertz - with most use around 32 , 500 hertz ) ( Also see NATO STANAG - 1074 ED . 4 for descriptions of internationally used frequencies . ) See Sound from ultrasound for modulated ultrasound that can make its carried signal audible without needing a receiver set .
120 mm M1 gun The 120 mm Gun M1 was the United States Army ' s standard super - heavy anti - aircraft gun , complementing the smaller and more mobile M2 90 mm gun in service . Its maximum altitude was about , which garnered it the nickname the " stratosphere gun " . The 120 served primarily in static defensive roles , although it had been designed to be mobile . One battalion , the 513th AAA Gun Battalion , did make it to the Philippines in February 1945 , although they never fired their guns in anger . There is also speculation that some 120s arrived in England in early 1945 to provide air defense for London , although no concrete evidence of this has been documented . The M1 gun was used in air defense , from 1944 through the early cold war period when the system was gradually phased out with active duty units , beginning in 1954 when the Nike Ajax surface to air missile gave air defenders a significantly greater long range capability . Cold war Army ARAACOM planning against long range Soviet Tu - 4 bomber attack included 44 active duty and 22 National guard battalions divided into seven brigades and 20 anti - aircraft artillery groups as well as two Canadian antiaircraft battalions for the joint defense of the Sault Ste Marie Canal , equipped with the M1 120mm gun , guided by long range Lashup AN / CPS - 5 radars for the protection of Nuclear production facilities , major Industrial centers , Strategic Air force bases , and select major population centers . the construction of the Pinetree , Mid - Canada and DEW line , Early Warning Radars which were all completed by 1957 , along with Large scale deployment of U . S . and Canadian jet Interceptors Equipped with the AIR - 2 Genie Nuclear Air to Air missile , and introduction of the First Soviet ICBM the R7 in 1957 , all rendered Heavy AA guns obsolete . remaining National Guard heavy gun units converted to Nike or had been deactivated by January 1960 . History . The Army had originally attempted to make a 120 mm design just after the end of World War I , with a prototype being presented in 1924 . The system was considered far too heavy and expensive to be useful , and the project slowed down , although it was never cancelled outright . In 1938 , the Army started studying its needs for newer AAA systems , and decided to order new systems for both the heavy and super - heavy role . The former was filled by the new M1 90 mm gun , which replaced the earlier M3 3 - inch gun then in use , while work on the 120 mm gun was dusted off and mated to a new eight - wheel carriage to produce the 4 . 7 - inch M1 when it was accepted in 1940 . Like the 90 mm , the M1 was typically operated in a battery of four guns , initially with an associated searchlight and SCR - 268 radar , and later with the much - improved SCR - 584 radar , an M10 Director ( Military ) and an M4 Gun Data Computer that automatically laid the guns as well . The M6 Tractor was used as the prime mover .
HMS Defiance ( 1666 ) HMS " Defiance " was a 64 - gun third rate ship of the line of the English Royal Navy , ordered on 26 October 1664 under the new construction programme of that year , and launched on 27 March 1666 at William Castle ' s private shipyard at Deptford in the presence of King Charles II . She was commissioned under Sir Robert Holmes and took part in the Four Days Battle on 1 June 1666 — 4 June 1666 . Following the battle , Holmes was briefly replaced by Captain William Flawes , but a month later command was taken by Rear - Admiral Sir John Kempthorne . In September 1667 Holmes , now Commander - in - Chief at Portsmouth , was back in command , but later that year he gave way to Sir John Harman in the same role . " Defiance " was accidentally destroyed by fire at Chatham on 6 December 1668 . Samual Pepys was a member of the Court Martial of the ship ' s gunner who was accused of causing the loss of the ship . In Pepys ' diary entry for 25 March 1669 , he writes that the ship was lost due to the " neglect " of the gunner " in trusting a girl to carry fire into his cabin " .
