German submarine U - 210 The German submarine " U - 210 " was a Type VIIC U - boat that served with the Kriegsmarine during World War II . Laid down on 15 March 1941 as ' werk 639 ' at F . Krupp Germaniawerft in Kiel , she was launched on 23 December and commissioned on 21 February 1942 . Service History . " U - 210 " undertook a single war patrol , departing Kiel on 18 July 1942 under the command of Rudolf Lemcke and heading for the north central Atlantic ocean . The patrol was uneventful until 6 August 1942 when Convoy SC 94 was located . Despite heavy fog , " U - 210 " was spotted on radar by the Canadian destroyer . The U - boat nearly escaped into the fog but the destroyer suddenly reappeared a mere 50 yards away as " U - 210 " crossed its bow . Both ships opened fire ; while the range was too close for the destroyer ' s main guns , machine gun fire shot up the bridge and conning tower , preventing use of the deck gun . As the destroyer passed astern , a shell from her rear battery hit the conning tower , killing the entire bridge crew ; fifty caliber machine gun fire silenced the submarine ' s flak gun . The senior surviving officer of " U - 210 " ordered her to dive , but forced a slow straight course which allowed " Assiniboine " to ram her just abaft the conning tower as she dove . This resulted in the submarine ' s electric motors failing and damage to the propellers . The ballast tanks were blown and the attacking destroyer rammed again as " U - 210 " surfaced ; a pattern of shallow - set depth charges were dropped at the same time . As the submarine sank , " Assiniboine " hit her with another 4 . 7 inch shell . 37 survivors were pulled from the water and became prisoners of war . Six men of her crew died during this battle .

Detroit Arsenal Tank Plant The Detroit Arsenal Tank Plant ( DATP ) was the first manufacturing plant ever built for the mass production of tank s in the United States . Established in 1940 under Chrysler , this plant was owned by the U . S . government until 1996 . It was designed by architect Albert Kahn . The building was designed originally as a " dual production facility , so that it could make armaments and be turned into peaceful production at war ' s end . Notwithstanding its name , the site was located in Warren , Michigan , Detroit ' s largest suburb . Chrysler ' s construction effort at the plant in 1941 was one of the fastest on record . During World War II , the Detroit Arsenal Tank Plant built a quarter of the 89 , 568 tanks produced in the U . S . overall . The Korean War boosted production for the first time since World War II had ended ; the government would suspend tank production after each war . In May 1952 , Chrysler resumed control from the army , which had been unable to ramp up production . As a Government - Owned , Contractor Operated ( GOCO ) facility , Chrysler retained operational control of the production facility until March 1982 , when Chrysler sold its Chrysler Defense division to General Dynamics Land Systems . General Dynamics produced the M1 Abrams tank at the facility ( and at another plant in Lima , Ohio ) until 1996 , when the plant was closed and tank assembly and maintenance operations were consolidated at the Lima plant . The plant and some of the adjoining property were transferred to the City of Warren in 2001 . The site of the original tank plant has been parcelled up and is now dedicated to civilian uses . This important Arsenal of Democracy is memorialized by a Michigan Historical Marker . The structure of the plant was designed to survive bombardment by the weapons of the day . It included concrete walls in some areas and a reinforced roof with slats to direct bombs away from vulnerable windows and exhaust fans . The base ' s fire station has a Thunderbolt siren on top . It is a model 1000 . The portion of the property not sold to the city remains an active Army facility as the headquarters of the United States Army Tank Automotive Research , Development and Engineering Center ( TARDEC ) and the United States Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command . TACOM continues to function at the location , is in fact in a major building boom as of 2010 . The Ground Systems Power and Energy Lab ( GSPEL ) was recently opened as part of the TARDEC complex . GSPEL is the only facility in the world that will be able to simulate the weather and terrain conditions of almost any locale in the world for the purposes of testing fuel cells and hybrid systems in ground combat vehicles . The Power and Energy Vehicle Environmental Lab ( PEVEL ) is one of the eight laboratories that make up GSPEL and it can simulate conditions from - 60F up to 160F , wind speeds up to 60 MPH and humidity of 95 % . It can also simulate any road condition or off - road terrain found anywhere in the world .
