HNoMS Ellida ( 1880 ) The HNoMS " Ellida " was a 1 . class gunboat built for the Royal Norwegian Navy . Like all other Norwegian gunships of her era , she carried a reasonable heavy armament on a diminutive hull . A distinct feature of " Ellida " was that her funnel could be raised and lowered as needed . The vessel was built at the Naval Yard at Horten , and had the yard number 59 . It is unclear from the sources if the listed armament is the original armament , or if " Ellida " originally was armed with a much heavier main gun like the slightly older 1 . class gunboat " Sleipner " . " Ellida " , like " Sleipner " , carried an underwater torpedo tube in her bow for firing Whitehead torpedoes , and she was the second vessel in the Royal Norwegian Navy equipped with this weapon . " Ellida " underwent a refit in 1896 , and was reclassified as a steam corvette . From 1898 she was used as a training vessel for cadets . In 1914 " Ellida " was refitted once more , and became the mother ship and support vessel for the early Norwegian submarines ( the A class ) . She was decommissioned and sold off in 1925 .
SS A . J . Cermak SS " A . J . Cermak " ( Hull Number 1836 ) was a Liberty ship built in the United States during World War II . She was named after Anton Cermak , who was mayor of Chicago from 1931 until his assassination in 1933 . The ship was laid down on 9 November 1943 , then launched on 30 November 1943 . The ship survived the war only to suffer the same fate as nearly all other Liberty ships that survived did ; she was scrapped in 1964 .
SM UB - 37 SM " UB - 37 " was a German Type UB II submarine or U - boat in the German Imperial Navy ( ) during World War I . The U - boat was ordered on 22 July 1915 and launched on 28 December 1915 . She was commissioned into the German Imperial Navy on 17 June 1916 as SM " UB - 37 " . The submarine sank 31 ships in 10 patrols . " UB - 37 " was sunk by British Q ship in the English Channel on 14 January 1917 . The wreck of " UB - 37 " was identified by marine archaeologist Innes McCartney in 1999 .
Fuze Keeping Clock The Fuze Keeping Clock ( FKC ) was a simplified version of the Royal Navy ' s High Angle Control System analogue fire control computer . It first appeared as the FKC MkII in destroyers of the 1938 Tribal class , while later variants were used on sloops , frigates , destroyers , aircraft carriers and several cruisers . The FKC MkII was a non - tachymetric anti - aircraft fire control computer . It could accurately engage targets with a maximum speed of . Operation . The FKC received aircraft altitude , range , direction , and speed input information from the " Rangefinder - Director " , vertical reference information from a " Gyro Level Corrector " and output to the guns the elevation and deflection data needed to hit the target , along with the correct fuze timing information , so that the shells fired would explode in the vicinity of the target aircraft . Most guns controlled by the FKC had " Fuze Setting Pedestals " or " Fuze Setting Trays " where the correct fuze timing was set on a clockwork mechanism within the AA shell warhead . Development . Type 285 radar was an early addition to the FKC system , being fitted on new destroyers from mid 1941 onward , and retrofitted to existing destroyers as time and opportunity permitted . Later variants increased the maximum target speed to 500 knots , and were combined with Gyro Rate Unit s ( GRU ) which gave tachometric capabilities to the system , and radar which greatly improved ranging and rate keeping accuracy . Wartime use . The FKC saw extensive use during the war on British Commonwealth naval ships , typically on destroyers and sloops . Prior to the widespread use of radar , optical detection and ranging on high altitude aerial targets was a daunting task as shown by " H . M . A . S . Parramatta " ' s Report of Proceedings , for 3 September 1940 : Occasionally conditions would conspire to favour the surface ships during an aerial attack , as again revealed by HMAS " Parramatta ' s " Report of Proceedings , for 20 September 1940 : The FKC was used throughout the war and its effectiveness was increased by the use of radar for gunnery and to provide warning against surprise attack , as demonstrated by this account of H . M . A . S . " " WARREGO " " , in 1944 :
Junior post captain Junior post captain is an obsolete alternative form of the rank of captain in the Royal Navy , but with less than 3 years seniority . A junior post - captain would usually command a frigate or a comparable ship , while a senior post - captain ( i . e . a more senior post captain ) would command a ship of the line . After 1795 , when they were first introduced on Royal Navy uniforms , the number and position of epaulettes distinguished between commanders and post - captains of various seniorities . A commander wore a single epaulette on the left shoulder . A post - captain with less than three years seniority wore a single epaulette on the right shoulder , and a post - captain with three or more years seniority was the same as captain and wore one epaulette on each shoulder from then .
Canon Court de 105 M ( montagne ) modele 1909 Schneider The Canon Court de 105 M ( montagne ) modèle 1909 Schneider ( 105 mm mle . 1909 ) was a French mountain gun , manufactured by Schneider et Cie . According to Kennblatter fremden Gerätz , Germany used the former French gun as the 10 . 5 cm GebH 343 ( f ) . The gun could be towed by a horse or mule . According to Russian sourсes the 105 M Mle 1909 was evaluated and found suitable for Russian use , but needed to be rebuilt to accept 107mm Russian ammunition and was never used by Russian army .

In 1838 Krabbe was appointed the General Staff of the Imperial Navy , as aide - de - camp to prince L . S . Menshikov . In 1839 he was sent to the Azov Sea to organize a naval expedition along the northern coast of the Black Sea , being in command of a squadron under admiral Mikhail Petrovich Lazarev at that time in head of the Black Sea Fleet . Promoted captain lieutenant in 1842 , he was part of the Russian mission led by admiral Yevfimy Vasilievich Putyatin to Iran . Thereafter , in 1847 , he was in charge of a naval expedition exploring the delta of the Syr Darya .

Sisinnios Triphyllios Sisinnios Triphyllios ( , died 26 July 811 ) was one of the senior dignitaries of the Byzantine Empire during the reign of Byzantine empress Irene of Athens ( 797 – 802 ) and Nikephoros I ( 802 – 811 ) . Sisinnios first appears in Irene ' s unique triumphal procession on Easter Monday , 1 April 799 , through the imperial capital , Constantinople . At the time , he held the post of " strategos " ( military governor ) of Thrace , the theme closest to Constantinople , and holder of the supreme dignity of " patrikios " . He was one of the four " patrikioi " ( along with Bardanes Tourkos , Constantine Boilas , and Sisinnios ' brother Niketas ) leading the four white horses which drew the imperial carriage , a role which marked these men out as the most prominent of Irene ' s supporters among the high dignitaries of the state . Despite their earlier support of Irene , the Triphyllioi brothers opposed the rising influence of the eunuch Aetios ( who replaced Sisinnios as " strategos " of Thrace with his own brother Leo sometime in 801 / 802 ) and the fiscal policies adopted by Irene over the next years . They were thus among the leaders of her overthrow by the General Logothete , Nikephoros I , on 31 October 802 . As a " patrikios " , Sisinnios remained influential under Nikephoros , but is not recorded as having held any specific post . The death of his brother on 30 April 803 is rumoured by some Byzantine chroniclers to have been ordered by Nikephoros , but given Sisinnios ' close relations with the emperor throughout the latter ' s reign , this is unlikely . Sisinnios was among the magnates who accompanied Nikephoros on his campaign against the Bulgars in spring - summer 811 , and was among those slain in the disastrous Battle of Pliska on 26 July .

It can be fitted with the No 61 pressure fuze or a No 62A tilt rod fuze . The mine is found in the Falkland Islands , Israel , Lebanon and Oman .
Resistance to interrogation R2I , RTI , or resistance to interrogation is a name for a set of techniques taught to elite UK troops , and other NATO soldiers with the express purpose of preparing them , after capture by the enemy , to resist interrogation techniques such as humiliation and torture . The trainees undergo practices such as hood ing , sleep deprivation , time disorientation , prolonged nakedness , sexual humiliation and deprivation of warmth , water and food . Many of these techniques are against international law if used in interrogations . According to " The Guardian " this training influenced the interrogation of Iraqi detainees by US soldiers at Abu Ghraib prison . These techniques were allegedly taught specifically to US military intelligence officers who later went to Iraq to perform interrogations . The story in " The Guardian " tells of a correlation between techniques routinely used in RTI and those allegedly used on prisoners at Abu Ghraib , but offers no definitive proof of causation . Standard RTI for most special military branches of American and European governments covers both tortures that are condemned by the United Nations and interrogation techniques that are considered legitimate , usually presented along a sliding scale . For instance , a soldier would be subjected to slight discomforts before being subjected to more torturous techniques . The most intense RTI was supposedly carried out by the Russian special purpose regiment ( Spetsnaz ) when the Soviet Union was still intact . The training of this regiment ( more accurately referred to as a corps as there were as many as 20 , 000 members at its peak ) was world - renowned , especially in military circles , for its brutality . RTI is a product of the market for military information , which has been in place since as early as when Sun Tzu wrote " The Art of War " . Especially moving into modern times , when information and technology is often more important than numbers in combat , and when torture has been used less often to humiliate and more often to extract information , RTI has become an integral part of military training in most Western countries in one way or another .

U . S . – British Staff Conference ( ABC – 1 ) Secret discussions between United States and British military staff members on American , British and Canadian ( ABC ) military coordination in the event of U . S . entry into World War II . The conference took place in Washington , D . C . from January 29 , 1941 to March 27 , 1941 . The US - British Staff Conference Report of 1941 established the general military principles , resources , and deployment strategies for a joint Allied military strategy . The plan assumed that if the U . S . went to war with Germany , it would likely go to war with both Italy and Japan as well . The general principles of agreement stated that : < br > Offensive policies included : Finally , if Japan entered the war , military strategy in the Far East would be defensive . Although the ABC - 1 agreement was not a military alliance , it nevertheless signified that the United States was preparing to enter the war on the side of the Allied powers , that the United States would make every effort to maintain the security of the British Commonwealth , and that the United States military was modifying existing war plans ( e . g . the RAINBOW plans ) to incorporate military integration and cooperation with other nations .
Yangkai Airfield Yangkai Airfield is a former World War II United States Army Air Forces airfield in the People ’ s Republic of China . Its current status is undetermined . History . The airfield , located approximately 33 miles northeast of Kunming , was the home of the B - 24 Liberators of 373rd Bombardment Squadron ( 308th Bombardment Group ) , from 20 Mar 43 to Sep 44 , when it moved to Luliang , China . The 373rd participated in attacks on airfields , coalyards , docks and warehouses , oil refineries and fuel dumps ; as well as attacking shipping in the East and South Seas , the Formosa Strait and the Gulf of Tonkin . The B - 25 Mitchell - equipped 341st Bombardment Group , was based at Yangkai from Jan 1944 to Sep 1945 . Units of the 341st ( 11th Bombardment Squadron , 22nd Bombardment Squadron , 491st Bombardment Squadron ) flew missions from Yangkai , Kweilin and Liuchow against targets in Japanese - occupied China , Burma , Thailand and French Indochina . Primarily targets were Japanese river shipping , road convoys , airfields and other targets of opportunity , as well as sea sweeps over the offshore shipping lanes following the China coast and also attacked Japanese targets on Hainan Island . The Group ' s crews became quite proficient at destroying bridges in using their variation on ' Skip ' and ' Glide ' bombing . The 11th and 22nd had converted to A - 26 Invaders for their final missions from Yangkai in late July and early August 1945 . Yangkai was also used by Air Transport Command as a supply hub in South China and also as a terminal for air shipments ( Station 14 , India , China Wing ) from India over " the Hump " . The Americans closed their facilities at the airfield in early 1946 .

Burgruine Starhemberg Burgruine Starhemberg is a castle in Lower Austria , Austria . History . The name is derived from the original name of ' high mountain ' or ' Starkenberg ' . A small castle was built here by Ottokar III , Margrave of Styria between 1140 and 1145 . At the time , the Piesting river was the border between Styria and the March of Austria . In 1192 , Styria — and , thus , the castle — was acquired by the Babenberg s . The last Babenberger duke of Austria , Frederick II the Warlike , expanded and fortified the castle , leaving Starhemberg as one of the most important castles in Lower Austria in the 13th century . In wartime , the archives and the family treasure was hidden here , and were guarded by the Teutonic Knights . After the Battle on the Marchfeld in 1278 , the castle was acquired by the Habsburgs . In 1482 , the castle was captured by Matthias Corvinus , king of Hungary . In 1683 , the castle offered protection from the Turks to the surrounding population . To escape a new roof - tax the counts of Heusenstamm around 1800 had the roof covering removed , as well as doors and window frames , beginning the decline of the castle . Around 1870 , a large part of the great hall collapsed . Until the mid - 20th century , the ruins were used for the extraction of construction materials by the local population . In the spring of 1945 a unit of the Waffen - SS used the ruined tower above the chapel as an observation post . Russian artillery fire inflicted heavy damage to the walls . In the second half of the 20th century a local organisation , Friends of the Castle Starhemberg , has sought to restore the ruins . Since 2007 , the castle has been closed to visitors , for security .

" Templeton ' s Crossing " was named in honour of Captain Sam Templeton . It is the first point where the Kokoda Track , from Port Moresby , crossed Eora Creek . Search for his remains . Wayne Wetherall , a PNG campaign historian and the founder of the Kokoda Spirit trekking company , travelled to Japan in 2009 to meet Kokichi Nishimura , one of the last survivors of the Japanese 144th Regiment to ask him about Templeton . Templeton ' s son Reg wanted to know what happened to his father , as there had been various conflicting stories , none confirmed . Nishimura believed that he had buried Templeton . Nishimura said he had not been present at Templeton ' s death , but that he had been captured and when interrogated before Lieutenant Colonel Hatsuo Tsukamoto , commander of the 144th regiment , lied and said " There are 80 , 000 Australian soldiers waiting for you in Moresby " and laughed at Tsukamoto , who became enraged and killed him with his sword . Nishimura later found the body with a sword or bayonet blade protruding from its side , and buried it because of the smell . Nishimura returned to PNG in 2010 at 90 years of age , and showed Wetherall the place he believed Templeton was buried , but no body was found .
