Manual command to line of sight Manual command to line of sight ( MCLOS ) is a method for guiding guided missile s . With an MCLOS missile , the operator must track the missile and the target simultaneously and guide the missile to the target . Typically the missile is steered with a joystick , and its path is observed through a periscope - type telescopic sight . The missiles are usually equipped with a magnesium flare in the base that automatically ignites upon launch and allows the gunner to visually track the fast - moving missile in a manner similar in concept to a tracer bullet . MCLOS requires considerable training and practice to master , since even a minor disruption in the gunner ' s concentration would likely cause a miss . These guidance systems have marginal accuracy on tank - sized targets , even with perfect line - of - sight by the gunner , due to erratic flight paths requiring timely manual corrections . As demonstrated by the Israeli Army under fire from Soviet - armed Arab states , responding to the distinctive smoke puff of a missile launch with rapid manoeuvres and immediate counter - fire minimizes their accuracy , as very few ATGM gunners maintain their concentration on a fast - moving tank for the entire flight time of the missile while under suppressing fire . MCLOS guidance today has mostly been replaced by the easier - to - use SACLOS , which allows the gunner to merely track the target with an optical sight ( which guides the missile ) , rather than being forced to both visually track the target and fly the missile manually . The Vickers Vigilant attempted to solve this by using a ' velocity control ' method with an on - board gyroscope , rather than simpler ' acceleration control ' . Accuracy . The accuracy achieved by MCLOS missiles is hard to put a firm figure on , since it is highly dependent on the skill of the operator and any distractions the operator has to contend with ( such as being fired upon ) . Actual figures from combat operations suggest that it is much lower than SACLOS guided missiles .
Spanish cruiser Don Juan de Austria Don Juan de Austria was a " Velasco " - class unprotected cruiser of the Spanish Navy that fought in the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish - American War . Technical Characteristics . " Don Juan de Austria " was built at the naval shipyard at Cartagena , Spain . Her keel was laid in 1883 , she was launched on 23 January 1887 , and she was completed in 1888 or 1889 . She had one rather tall funnel . She had an iron hull and was rigged as a barque . Operational history . When the Spanish - American War broke out in April 1898 , " Don Juan de Austria " part of the Pacific Squadron of Rear Admiral Patricio Montojo y Pasarón in Manila Bay . At 1100 hours on 25 April 1898 , " Don Juan de Austria " and five other ships of the squadron set out for Subic Bay , where Montojo hoped to take advantage of minefields and shore batteries in the likely event of an attack by U . S . Navy forces on his squadron . Arriving there , Montojo found that few of the mines had been laid and the shore batteries had not yet been mounted . At 1030 hours on 29 April 1898 , " Don Juan de Austria " and Montojo ' s other ships departed Subic Bay to return to Manila Bay , where shore batteries could support Montojo ' s squadron and where the shallow water might reduce the loss of life if the Spanish ships were sunk . The squadron anchored later that day in Cañacao Bay off Sangley Point , in the lee of the Cavite Peninsula , about eight miles southeast of Manila . " Don Juan de Austria " made a quick trip to Manila to procure small craft , such as lighters , small boats , and barges , to be tied up alongside cruiser " Castilla " to protect her wooden hull from hostile gunfire . When the U . S . Navy ' s Asiatic Squadron under Commodore George Dewey attacked , early on the morning of 1 May 1898 in the Battle of Manila Bay , " Don Juan de Austria " was at the extreme end of Montojo ' s line and at 0445 hours was the first Spanish ship to sight the approaching American warships . Dewey ' s squadron made a series of slow firing passes at the Spanish squadron . " Don Juan de Austria " got underway in an unsuccessful attempt to close with the American warships . Although suffering increasing damage as more and more American shells struck her , she came to the aid of " Castilla " when " Castilla " was burning out of control and had to be abandoned . When Montojo ' s flagship , unprotected cruiser " Reina Cristina " , also was knocked out of action , Dewey ' s squadron concentrated its fire on " Don Juan de Austria " . With her hull riddled and her steering wrecked , she was scuttled in shallow water , coming to rest on the bottom with her upper works above water . After the battle , a boarding party from gunboat USS " Petrel " went aboard and set the wreck of " Don Juan de Austria " on fire . After the war , the U . S . Navy raised and salvaged " Don Juan de Austria " and commissioned her into the U . S . Navy in 1900 as gunboat USS " Don Juan de Austria " .

Fort Ohio Fort Ohio ( also known as the " New Store " ) was a stockade fort erected by Job Pearsall in 1749 on the present site of Ridgeley , West Virginia . The building was of log construction , long and wide , with two stories . Its name comes from the Ohio Company which did have a trading post at that location . The Ohio Company found success because a trail across the Allegheny Mountains from the Potomac River at Cumberland to near modern - day Pittsburgh offered a direct route to the Ohio River . Buildings . The building contained a garret and dry cellar , used for the storage of furs , the size of the structure itself . The building also contained living quarters for a trader by the name of Hugh Parker . A few years later another building , much of the same structure , was built near the original storage building , also with a garret and cellar . A stable , meat house and dairy were also constructed close to the main building , all fortified by Governor Dinwinddie of Virginia . Fort Ohio was one of a chain of four forts protecting the frontier . Fort Ohio was the first in the chain with Fort Sellers next , then Fort Ashby and Fort Cocke as the outermost forts . Fort Ohio was abandoned when Fort Cumberland was erected about 1754 , directly across the river in Maryland . Fort Cumberland was , for its time and type , a large , elaborate fortification . Although originally built as a storage building for furs , it was converted to a blockhouse on September 7 , 1754 . Military involvement . New Store became an important role for the military on operations regarding the French and Indians early in the conflict . On September 7 , 1754 , Governor Dinwiddie wrote to Governor Sharpe of Maryland that he had ordered Colonel James Innis at Fort Cumberland to take possession of the Ohio Company ’ s storehouse and to make a magazine out of it . Dinwiddie also reported that he had directed the building of a breastwork on the company property and had authorized cannon to be mounted for its defense . However Fort Ohio was never formally garrisoned by troops from the Virginia regiment . Because of the fact that it was only away from Fort Cumberland , although separated by the river , it did not seem necessary that it should be garrisoned . The Ohio Company had employed many frontiersmen to trap the fur animals , and these riflemen were expected to defend the fort if it was to be attacked by Indians . Soldiers from Fort Cumberland spent time at Fort Ohio when not on duty , therefore it was deemed not necessary to place regular troops at the fort .
USS Engstrom ( DE - 50 ) USS Engstrom ( DE - 50 ) was an Evarts class destroyer escort constructed for the United States Navy during World War II . She was sent off into the Pacific Ocean to protect convoys and other ships from Japanese submarines and fighter aircraft . She performed escort and antisubmarine operations in dangerous battle areas and returned home safely to the States . She was launched on 24 July 1942 by Philadelphia Navy Yard as HMS " Drury " ( BDE - 50 ) ; reallocated to the USN ; assigned the name Engstrom on 4 March 1943 ; and commissioned on 21 June 1943 , Lieutenant D . A . Nienstedt in command . Service history . World War II . " Engstrom " sailed from Philadelphia , Pennsylvania , on 20 August 1943 for Norfolk , Virginia , where she joined a convoy bound for the Panama Canal Zone and San Diego , California , arriving on the west coast on 9 September . On the 27th , she got underway for Adak and over a year of duty in northern waters . Often fighting weather almost as dangerous as the enemy , she escorted combatant and auxiliary ships , acted as radar picket ship for air operations between Attu and Paramushiro , and screened surveying ships . The escort vessel returned to Mare Island , California , on 19 January 1945 for overhaul and , after training at Pearl Harbor , sailed on convoy duty to Eniwetok and Saipan , her base from 31 March through the end of the war for escort assignments to Eniwetok , Ulithi , Guam , and Iwo Jima . The men and supplies , whose movement she guarded , saw action on Okinawa . Post - War . From 12 September - 11 October 1945 , " Engstrom " patrolled out of Guam . She reached San Pedro , California on 24 October , and was decommissioned on 19 December 1945 , being sold on 26 December 1946 .

Fokker F27 Friendship The Fokker F27 Friendship is a turboprop airliner designed and built by the defunct Dutch aircraft manufacturer Fokker . Design and development . Design of the Fokker F27 started in the 1950s as a replacement to the successful Douglas DC - 3 airliner . The manufacturer evaluated a number of different configurations before finally deciding on a high - wing twin Rolls - Royce Dart engine layout with a pressurised cabin for 28 passengers . The first prototype , registered PH - NIV , first flew on 24 November 1955 . The second prototype and initial production machines were 0 . 9 m ( 3 ft ) longer , addressing the first aircraft ' s slightly tail - heavy handling and also providing space for four more passengers , bringing the total to 32 . These aircraft also used the more powerful Dart Mk 528 engine . Production . The first production model , the F27 - 100 , was delivered to Aer Lingus in November 1958 . Other early Friendship customers included Braathens SAFE , Luxair , Ansett , New Zealand National Airways Corporation , Trans Australia Airlines and Turkish Airlines . In 1956 , Fokker signed a licensing deal with the US aircraft manufacturer Fairchild for the latter to construct the F27 in the USA . The first U . S . - built aircraft flew on April 12 , 1958 . Fairchild also independently developed a stretched version , called the FH - 227 . Most sales by Fairchild were made in the North American market . Basic price for an RDa . 6 powered F - 27 in 1960 was £239 , 000 . At the end of the Fokker F27 ’ s production in 1987 , 586 units had been built ( plus another 207 F - 27s and FH - 227s in the USA by Fairchild ) , more than any other western European civil turboprop airliner at the time . Many aircraft have been modified from passenger service to cargo or express - package freighter roles and remain in service in 2009 . The last major cargo user of the F27 in the United States was FedEx Express , as cargo " feeder " aircraft . These were retired and replaced by ATR42 and ATR72 aircraft by the end of 2009 , with the last of the aircraft being donated to Hickory Aviation Museum . The United States Army Parachute Team continues to use a C - 31A Troopship for its diving exhibitions in 2011 . In the early 1980s , Fokker developed a successor to the Friendship , the Fokker 50 . Although based on the F27 - 500 airframe , the Fokker 50 is virtually a new aircraft with Pratt & Whitney Canada engines and modern systems . Its general performance and passenger comfort were improved over the F27 .
