George Henry Ellis George Henry Ellis ( Born October 26 , 1875 – ) was a sailor in the United States Navy during the Spanish - American War . Ellis was born in Peoria , Illinois . At an early age he accompanied his mother when she moved to New York City , and later to Brooklyn , New York . He enlisted in the Navy February 26 , 1892 at age 16 as apprentice , third class . He married Sadie M . Simonson . He was honorably discharged October 25 , 1896 , with a rank of apprentice , first class . He reenlisted May 3 , 1897 as seaman , and rose to the rank of chief yeoman on February 1 , 1898 . Battle of Santiago . Chief Yeoman Ellis was killed 3 July 1898 while serving on the " USS Brooklyn " during the Battle of Santiago de Cuba . During the battle , he was reporting ranges to enemy vessels which he read from the stadimeter , a rangefinding device , while observing from an exposed position , while the Brooklyn was under fire from as many as four Spanish ships . Yeoman Ellis was considered an expert with the stadimeter . While the Brooklyn was pursuing fleeing Spanish armored cruisers Vizcaya and Cristobal Colin , Ellis took a position about three feet in front of the forward turret . He was " singing out " the ranges to a messenger , who passed them to the guncrews inside the turrets . He was decapitated when a large shell fired from a Spanish ship struck him in the face . His brain and blood were thrown over a number of people . When an ensign and the ship ' s doctor started to pick up Ellis ' s body to throw it over the side , as was a common practice in naval battles , they were stopped by Commodore Schley , who said " No ! Do not throw that body overboard ! One who has fought so gallantly deserves the honor of a Christian burial . " Ellis was buried with military honors in Guantanamo , Cuba at Camp McCalla , and later re - buried at Evergreen Cemetery in Brooklyn , New York , on November 28 , 1898 . The funeral at Washington Avenue Baptist Church in Brooklyn had a capacity crowd of 2 , 000 mourners , with thousands more turned away . Soon after the battle , the officers and men of the Brooklyn took up a collection to benefit Ellis ' s widow , some contributing over a month ' s pay , to reach a total of over $ 1 , 000 . Additional donations raised the total to $ 2 , 000 by September 1898 . Besides his 25 year old widow , Ellis was survived by a seven month old infant . Namesake . USS " Ellis " ( DD - 154 ) was named after him . It was launched November 30 , 1918 . Legacy . George Ellis was a prominent character in a fictionalized account of the battle published in 1899 , " , " by Edward Stratemeyer . In 1908 , the death of Ellis and the destruction of his stadimeter were cited in an article in the United States Naval Institute Proceedings as to the impracticality of using observers aloft or in an exposed position on deck to determine range to targets during an actual battle , as opposed to gunnery practice . The proposed improvement was to install a range - finder in an armored installation on each gun turret .
George Browne ( soldier ) George Browne , Count von Browne in the nobility of the Holy Roman empire ( 15 June 1698 – 18 February 1792 ) was an Irish soldier of fortune who became full general in the Russian service . Browne was descended from a family which could trace its descent to the time of the Conqueror , and had settled in Ireland at a very early period . His immediate ancestors were the Brownes of Camas , Limerick , where he was born 15 June 1698 . He was educated at Limerick diocesan school . A catholic and a Jacobite , he , like several of his other relations , sought scope for his ambition in a foreign military career ( → Flight of the Wild Geese ) . In his twenty - seventh year he entered the service of the elector palatine , from which he passed in 1730 to that of Russia . He distinguished himself in the Polish , French , and Turkish wars , and had risen to the rank of general , with the command of 30 , 000 men , when he was taken prisoner by the Turks . After being three times sold as a slave , he obtained his freedom through the intervention of the French ambassador Villeneuve , at the instance of the Russian court , and , remaining for some time at Constantinople in his slave ' s costume , succeeded in discovering important state secrets which he carried to Saint Petersburg . In recognition of this special service he was raised by Anna to the rank of major - general , and in this capacity accompanied General Lacy on his first expedition to Finland . On the outbreak of the Swedish war his tactical skill was displayed to great advantage in checking Swedish attacks on Livonia . In the Seven Years ' War he rendered important assistance as lieutenant - general under his cousin Maximilian Ulysses , Reichsgraf von Browne . His fortunate diversion of the enemy ' s attacks at Kolin , 18 June 1757 , contributed materially to the allied victory , and in token of her appreciation of his conduct on the occasion Maria Theresia presented him with a snuff - box set with brilliants and adorned with her portrait . At Zorndorf , 25 August 1758 , he again distinguished himself in a similar manner , his opportune assistance of the right wing at the most critical moment of the battle changing almost inevitable defeat into victory . By Peter III he was named general - in - chief , and appointed to the chief command in the Danish war . On his addressing a remonstrance to the czar against the war as impolitic , he was deprived of his honours and commanded to leave the country , but the czar repenting of his hasty decision recalled him three days afterwards and appointed him Governor of Livonia . He was confirmed in the office under Catherine II , and for thirty years to the close of his life administered its affairs with remarkable practical sagacity , and with great advantage both to the supreme government and to the varied interests of the inhabitants . He died 18 February 1792 . References . " Histoire de la Vie de George de Browne . " – Riga , 1794 External links . city
180 mm gun S - 23 The 180 mm gun S - 23 ( ) was a Soviet heavy gun of Cold War era . It was developed in the early 1950s , with the design based on naval guns . Its first public appearance was the 1955 May Day parade in Moscow . For some time , it was believed in the West that the S - 23 was actually a 203mm weapon , and as a result it was often referred to as the 203 mm M1955 gun howitzer . However , after an example was captured in the Middle East during the 1970s this misconception was dispelled . Design history . The S - 23 was designed by NII - 58 as part of a new series of heavy artillery systems consisting of the following types : All were to be based on the same carriage . The order to start series production was given but after the production of seven S - 23s ( GRAU index : 52 - P - 572 ) , one S - 33 and one S - 43 by PO " Barrikady " in 1955 the project was cancelled . The seven guns remained in service until 1967 and were regularly shown during the annual May Day parades , being towed by AT - T atillery tractors . At the request of Syria , who needed a large - calibre gun system , the project was shortly revived at the end of the 1960s and twelve more S - 23 guns were produced in 1971 , as well as the new VOF28 round with RAP projectile OF43 . The other rounds were the VF - 572 with HE projectile F - 572 and the VG - 572 with concrete - piercing projectile G - 572 . Operational history . The West assumed that the S - 23 was issued within the Soviet Army at a ratio of 12 weapons per heavy artillery brigade . It was exported to Syria and some sources suggest that it might have been exported to other Middle Eastern countries such as Egypt and Iraq , and likely the Indian Army .
