Archers ( Egyptian pítati ) The Pítati ( pí - ta - ti ) were a contingent of archers in the Egyptian Empire , often requested and dispatched , to support the Egyptian vassalage in Canaan , or northern Canaan . They are recorded in the correspondence of the 1350 BC Amarna letters , and were often requested to defend against the Habiru , also rogue vassal - kings and foreign troops of neighboring kingdoms - ( for example Hatti ) , who were on the attack . The vassal cities , and ' city - states ' were constantly requesting the services - ( protection ) of the Pharaoh ' s armies , by means of this " archer - army " force , basically garrison forces . A request for lodging , and preparations of food , drink , straw , and other supplies required , is often demanded by the pharaoh , for a small , or a large contingent . The pítati archer force were mercenaries from the southern Egyptian " land of Kush " - ( named " Kaša " , or " Kaši " in the letters ) . The first use of Nubian mercenaries was by Weni the Elder of the 6th Dynasty , ( the Old Kingdom of about 2300 BC ) . A letter example - - no . 337 . A vassal – state letter example from Hiziru , a ' mayor ' - ( often referred to as the " Man of the City " - ( Lú ) ) , in ancient Palestine is EA 337 - ( EA for ' el Amarna ' ) , entitled : " " Abundant supplies ready " " . The letter is short , and undamaged : " Archers and myrrh " . Letter no . 3 of 5 by Milkilu of " Gazru " , modern Gezer : Analysis . Part of the debate in analyzing the army - archer - force is whether the army just annually accompanied the pharaoh ' s commissioner / envoy and were then extracting tribute , or whether the archer - force duty was strictly military , and in support of the Egyptian borderlands control and influence . The short time period of the Amarna letters , 15 – 20 years , ( 17 ? ) , may give an answer to the influence of the archer - forces .

USS Zumwalt ( DDG - 1000 ) USS " Zumwalt " ( DDG - 1000 ) is to be the lead ship of the " Zumwalt " class of guided missile destroyers and the first ship to be named for Admiral Elmo Zumwalt . Name and hull number . Elmo Russell Zumwalt , Jr . ( 29 November 1920 – 2 January 2000 ) was an American naval officer and the youngest man to serve as Chief of Naval Operations .

A highly - decorated war veteran , Admiral Zumwalt reformed Naval personnel policies in an effort to improve enlisted life and ease racial tensions . After he retired from a 32 - year Navy career , he launched an unsuccessful campaign for the United States Senate . The hull classification symbol for the USS " Zumwalt " will be DDG - 1000 . In doing so , the U . S . Navy will eschew the guided missile destroyer sequence that goes up to DDG - 118 ( presently the last of the named " Arleigh Burke " - class destroyers ) , and continue in the previous " gun destroyer " sequence left off with the last of the " Spruance " - class , USS " Hayler " ( DD - 997 ) . With the production run of the " Zumwalt " class limited to three units , plans are underway for a third " flight " of " Arleigh - Burke " class destroyers . History . Many of the ship ' s features were originally developed under the DD21 program ( " 21st Century Destroyer " ) . In 2001 , Congress cut the DD - 21 program by half as part of the SC21 program ; to save it , the acquisition program was renamed as DD ( X ) and heavily reworked . The initial funding allocation for DDG - 1000 was included in the National Defense Authorization Act of 2007 . A contract worth $ 1 . 4bn was awarded to General Dynamics on 14 February 2008 , for the construction of USS " Zumwalt " at Bath Iron Works in Bath , Maine . Full rate production officially began on 11 February 2009 . As of July 2008 , the construction timetable was for General Dynamics to deliver the ship in April 2013 , with March 2015 as the target for " Zumwalt " to meet her initial operating capability . However , by 2012 , the planned completion and delivery of the vessel had slipped to Fiscal Year 2014 . The first section of the ship was laid down on the slipway at Bath Iron Works on 17 November 2011 . By this point , fabrication of the ship was over 60 % complete . The naming ceremony was planned for 19 October 2013 , but was canceled due to the United States federal government shutdown of 2013 .
Oerlikon Millennium 35 mm Naval Revolver Gun System The Oerlikon Millennium 35mm Naval Gun System is a Close - in weapon system designed by Oerlikon ( a Rheinmetall subsidiary ) for mounting on ships . It is based on the new Oerlikon 35 mm revolver cannon land based Air defense system , and uses AHEAD ammunition . A device at the muzzle end of the barrel measures the exact speed of each round as it is fired , and automatically sets the fuse to detonate the round as it approaches a pre - set distance from the target . Each round disperses 152 small projectiles to strike the incoming target . Whilst these are too small to do major damage in themselves , the accumulation of damage from multiple strikes is expected to destroy wings and control surfaces , sensors and aerodynamics , causing the target to crash . Other firing modes are designed to be effective against surface targets such as small fast attack boats . The Millennium gun is easy to install as it requires no through deck penetration and needs no supply of coolant , air or ship ' s power to operate . However , it does need a power supply to recharge its batteries . Installation can take as little as sixty minutes and requires only six square metres of deck space . A Millennium gun and 252 rounds weighs 3 , 200 kg . The gun ' s cupola is claimed to have a low radar cross section . The weapon is designed to be controlled by an external fire - control system using either radar or electro - optical trackers . It is fitted with an optional onboard observation TV camera which relays imagery to an operator console from which it can also be aimed and fired in an emergency mode . The computer system uses an open architecture and is claimed to be compatible with many existing fire control systems .

During the early phases of the assault , the leading elements of his battalion were halted by a minefield and immobilized by heavy hostile fire . Advancing alone into the mined area , Col . Mabry established a safe route of passage . He then moved ahead of the foremost scouts , personally leading the attack , until confronted by a boobytrapped double concertina obstacle . With the assistance of the scouts , he disconnected the explosives and cut a path through the wire . Upon moving through the opening , he observed 3 enemy in foxholes whom he captured at bayonet point . Driving steadily forward he paced the assault against 3 log bunkers which housed mutually supported automatic weapon s . Racing up a slope ahead of his men , he found the initial bunker deserted , then pushed on to the second where he was suddenly confronted by 9 onrushing enemy . Using the butt of his rifle , he felled 1 adversary and bayoneted a second , before his scouts came to his aid and assisted him in overcoming the others in hand - to - hand combat . Accompanied by the riflemen , he charged the third bunker under pointblank small arms fire and led the way into the fortification from which he prodded 6 enemy at bayonet point . Following the consolidation of this area , he led his battalion across 300 yards of fire - swept terrain to seize elevated ground upon which he established a defensive position which menaced the enemy on both flanks , and provided his regiment a firm foothold on the approach to the Cologne Plain . Col . Mabry ' s superlative courage , daring , and leadership in an operation of major importance exemplify the finest characteristics of the military service .
