Kingman Air Force Station Kingman Air Force Station ( ADC ID : M - 128 ) is a closed United States Air Force General Surveillance Radar station . It is located southwest of Kingman , Arizona . It was closed in 1958 . History . Kingman Air Force Station was established in 1954 by Air Defense Command as one of a planned deployment of forty - four Mobile radar stations to support the permanent ADC Radar network in the United States sited around the perimeter of the country . This deployment was projected to be operational by mid - 1952 . Funding , constant site changes , construction , and equipment delivery delayed deployment . This site became operational in July 1955 when the 659th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron was assigned to Kingman by the 27th Air Division , and initially the station functioned as a Ground - Control Intercept ( GCI ) and warning station . As a GCI station , the squadron ' s role was to guide interceptor aircraft toward unidentified intruders picked up on the unit ' s radar scopes . The squadron operated AN / MPS - 7 and AN / MPS - 14 radars from the site briefly until it was placed in standby status in December 1957 and deactivated in February 1958 . A gap - filler radar site was planned for Vincent AFB ( SM - 162 ) but never opened there . In addition to the main facility , Kingman operated several AN / FPS - 14 Gap Filler sites : Today the radar site is being used for radio transmitters . Some USAF buildings remain of the station , being used for civil uses . . * * Note : The site at Poston was originally constructed for the Colorado War Relocation Camp to house Japanese during World War II . However , apparently was never activated as an AC & W radar station . Instead , the gap - filler radar site M - 128D / SM - 162I was built there ( but was not activated ) .

NATO Consultation , Command and Control Agency The NATO Consultation , Command and Control Agency ( NC3A ) was formed in 1996 by merging the SHAPE Technical Centre ( STC ) in The Hague , Netherlands ; and the NATO Communications and Information Systems Agency ( NACISA ) in Brussels , Belgium . NC3A is part of the NATO Consultation , Command and Control Organization ( NC3O ) and reports to the NATO Consultation , Command and Control Board ( NC3B ) . In July 2012 , NC3A merged into the NATO Communications and Information Agency ( NCIA ) . The agency has around 800 staff , of which around 500 are located in The Hague and 300 in Brussels . Broadly speaking , the Netherlands staff are responsible for scientific research , development and experimentation , while the Belgian staff provide technical project management and acquisition support for NATO procurement programmes . The Agency is organised using a balanced matrix model , with four main areas : the Production area , Sponsor Accounts , Core Segment and Resources Division . The Production area comprises nine capability area teams ( CATs ) with various areas of expertise . The Sponsor Accounts area has Directors for each of the Agency ' s major sponsors , providing a single point of contact with the Agency . The Core Segment comprises a Chief Operating Officer , Chief Technology Officer and Director of Acquisition , who ensure coherency of the Agency ' s business , technical and acquisition processes respectively . The Resources Division handles Agency operations such as Human Resources , Finance , Graphics , Building Maintenance , etc . Since 2004 , the Agency has used the PRINCE2 and PMI project management methodologies . General Manager Georges D ' hollander and Deputy General Manager Kevin Scheid split their time between their offices in The Hague and Brussels . Staff are recruited directly from the 28 NATO nations , the majority holding degrees at the Masters level or above . The working language of the Agency is English . NC3A ' s prime customers are Allied Command Transformation and Allied Command Operations , as well as the NATO Air Command and Control System ( ACCS ) Management Agency ( NACMA ) , NATO Airborne Early Warning ( NAEW ) Force Command and individual NATO nations . Its annual budget is roughly 100 million euros . Major growth areas are the NATO Network Enabled Capability ( NNEC ) , Theatre Missile Defence ( TMD ) and the Alliance Ground Surveillance and Reconnaissance ( AGSR ) projects . The Agency has traditionally had a strong emphasis on prototyping and currently aims to follow a spiral development model . The agency aims to complement , not compete with , national research and development , and is primarily concerned with improving C4ISR interoperability between the nations and supporting major acquisition C4ISR programmes .

Copenhagenization ( naval ) Copenhagenization refers to the practice of confiscating the warship s of a defeated enemy . It first occurred when the British fleet under Admiral Gambier defeated the Dano - Norwegian fleet in the Second Battle of Copenhagen in 1807 . After the British Navy confiscated the Dano - Norwegian navy , the practice of confiscating all ( or most ) of the ships of a defeated enemy became more common and would be expressed by the term Copenhagenize . In 1830 American author Richard Emmons published an " epic poem on the late war of 1812 " , the " The fredoniad , or Independence preserved " in which he wrote of the merits of the independents merits : Aw ' d by the naval sceptre of the king — Our fleet would Copenhagenize each town , And with the torch burn every hamlet down . The term would later be used by Justin Winsor in his " Narrative and critical history of America " ( 1888 ) where he described the outfitting of independent vessels to warfare was done somewhat covertly , in order to avoid the vessels might " be Copenhagenized at once by the invincible British Navy " at the outbreak of hostilities and also in the 1881 " Political Science , Political Economy , and the Political History of the United States " , John J . Lalor , editor : But , even when [ the embargo ] was repealed in 1809 , the belief that Great Britain would " Copenhagenize " any American navy which might be formed was sufficient to deter the democratic leaders from anything bolder than non - intercourse laws , until the idea of invading Canada took root and blossomed into a declaration of war . In 1940 after the fall of France , the British destroyed the French navy of neutral Vichy stationed in the ports of Oran and Dakar with the Attack on Mers - el - Kébir , fearing that the French ships would fall into German hands .

German submarine U - 227 German submarine " U - 227 " was a Type VIIC U - boat of the German " Kriegsmarine " built for service in the Battle of the Atlantic . She was cursed with repeated bad luck during her brief service life . Her commander was " Kapitänleutnant " Jürgen Kuntze , an officer with just five months U - boat experience at the time of his promotion . Construction . " U - 227 " was built during 1941 and 1942 by the Germaniawerft shipyard in the fleet base at Kiel as ' werk ' 657 , and was completed in August 1942 , in preparation for operations over the coming winter . During the initial working - up period , disaster struck one month into the program , when " U - 227 " ran onto a Royal Air Force mine dropped by an aircraft in Danzig Bay . The crippled boat survived without any serious injuries , but only just managed to limp into port . The mining of coastal waters was a new tactic for the RAF , but one which would reap dividends amongst the port - based German Navy . The repairs to the boat following this misfortune meant that she was not ready for operations until the following April , when Kuntze , having worked his crew hard , embarked on his only war patrol . Operational patrol . " U - 227 " lasted a mere six days on her first operational patrol , when she was ordered to proceed with all haste to the North Atlantic Ocean to interdict Canadian convoys . Passing through the ' gap ' between the Faroe Islands and Iceland , she was spotted , despite bad weather , by a Hampden bomber of No . 455 Squadron , Royal Australian Air Force , which swooped onto the submarine and dropped a bomb on her . " U - 227 " went into an uncontrolled dive following the attack and never resurfaced , presumably hitting the sea floor hundreds of feet below , where she still lies with all 49 of her crew .
