General Airborne Transport XCG - 16 The XCG - 16 was a military transport / assault glider ordered by the Army Air Force , from General Airborne Transport Co . , for competition against the Waco CG - 13 A at Wright Field . Design and Development . Design of the CG - 16 evolved from the lifting fuselage theories of Vincent Burnelli laid out in Patent No . 1 , 758 , 498 issued on 13 May 1930 . which advocated the use of ' lifting fuselages ' providing a high proportion of the total lift . To enter a competition at Wright Field for a new assault glider for the USAAF , Hawley Bowlus and Albert Criz designed a Burnelli style lifting fuselage assault glider as the Bowlus - Criz MC - 1 . To prove the concept and aerodynamic qualities Bowlus designed a ½ scale prototype which flew successfully . The flight tests of the ½ scale MC - 1 maintained confidence in the full sized glider . A contract for three MC - 1 gliders , ( two flyable and one for static testing ) , was given to the Airborne and General aircraft company , which had been formed by Bowlus and Criz . This company soon transformed into the General Airborne Transport company which built the full sized MC - 1 gliders with the military designation XCG - 16 . Flight tests of the full sized MC - 1 , ( registered to the Albert Criz company on 19 July 1943 as NX21757 ) , commenced at March Field , California on 11 September 1943 , but tragedy struck on a demonstration flight with Richard Chichester du Pont , special assistant to Gen Arnold ; Col Ernest Gabel , another glider specialist on the staff of the Chief of Staff of the Air Force , and C . C . Chandler , thrice soaring champion aboard . Inadequately secured ballast came loose when the glider flew through the Lockheed C - 60 glider tug ' s propwash , causing a catastrophic rearward shift in the centre of gravity . The uncontrollable MC - 1A released from tow and entered a flat spin which it didn ' t recover from . Three of the crew and passengers jumped over board but only two survived the parachute jump . In spite of all the design problems and the MC - 1 crash , a contract was approved on 13 November 1943 for two test flight articles and one static test article of the MC - 1 glider designated as the USAAF XCG - 16 . Only one XCG - 16 , ( 44 - 76193 ) , was manufactured and tested , demonstrating good flying qualities , but major issues with military equipment and procedures precluded the CG - 16 from a production contract as it did not meet military expectations as a combat glider . The contract for all remaining work on the CG - 16 was cancelled on 30 November 1944 .

Net laying ship A net laying ship , also known as a net layer , net tender , gate ship or boom defence vessel was a type of small auxiliary ship . A net layer ' s primary function was to lay and maintain steel anti - torpedo or anti - submarine net s . Nets could be laid around an individual ship at anchor , or around harbors or other anchorages . Net laying was potentially dangerous work , and net laying seamen were experts at dealing with blocks , tackles , knots and splicing . As World War II progressed , net layers were pressed into a variety of additional roles including salvage , troop and cargo transport , buoy maintenance , and service as tugboats . US Navy . Net layers initially received the hull classification symbol YN ( for " Yard Net Tender " ) but were later reclassified AN ( for " Auxiliary Net Layer " ) . The British Admiralty knew such ships as a “ boom defence vessel " . The first 32 , all launched in 1940 ( before the attack on Pearl Harbor ) , were built of steel . Due to the chronic shortage of steel during the war , the next 30 were built of wood . The last 15 , laid down in 1944 and 1945 , were again constructed of steel . A total of 77 net layers of all classes served with the US Navy during the war . The vessels served in all theatres of war but particularly in the Pacific . Many of the ships were decommissioned after the war , but some continued in service for several more decades . Net layers were eventually made redundant by advances in underwater detection technology . Net layers have two prominent steel " horns " on the bow , used in laying nets .

This in turn resulted in the forward compartment flooding , the batteries failing , and chlorine gas developing . She was forced to surface to ventilate the boat , but when she surfaced , the rudder refused to answer the helm due to the lack of battery power . Her captain then gave orders to destroy secret documents and codebooks and set scuttling charges in the mine room and engine room . While the charges were being placed she was sighted by the armed trawler " Moravia " and the destroyers and . A 12 - pdr shell from the " Sylvia " hit the submarine ' s conning tower , killing her commander , Horst Ruhle von Lilienstern , and a second shell hit the hull and she began to sink , after which two depth - charges were dropped right beside the " UC - 55 " , resulting in the U - boat blowing up . The " Moravia " then closed with the wreck , fired two more shots into her , and dropped a final depth - charge . Of the submarine ' s crew , 17 were taken prisoner , and 10 were killed .
