Battle of Tangdao The naval Battle of Tangdao ( 唐岛之战 ) took place in 1161 between the Jurchen Jin and the Southern Song Dynasty of China on the East China Sea during the Jurchen campaigns against the Song Dynasty . It was an attempt by the Jin to invade and conquer the Southern Song Dynasty , yet resulted in failure and defeat for the Jurchens . The Jin Dynasty navy was set on fire by firearm s and Fire Arrow s , suffering heavy losses . For this battle , the commander of the Song Dynasty squadron , Li Bao , faced the opposing commander Zheng Jia , the admiral of the Jin Dynasty . On the fate of Zheng Jia , the historical text of the " Jin Shi " states : This battle was followed by another naval confrontation , the Battle of Caishi ( 采石之战 ) taking place in 1161 . On the significance of these battles and the development of China ' s first permanent standing navy during the Song , the historian Joseph Needham stated that from a total of 11 squadron s and 3 , 000 men the Song navy rose in one century to 20 squadrons totalling 52 , 000 men , with its main base near Shanghai . The needs of the regular striking force of the Song navy could also be supported by substantial Chinese merchants in the south . In this Jin campaign of 1161 AD , some 340 ships participated in the battles on the Yangtze . Yet there was a long process leading up to this battle ; in 1129 ( AD ) trebuchet s throwing gunpowder bombs were decreed standard equipment on all warships , between 1132 AD and 1183 AD a large number of treadmill - operated paddle - wheel craft , large and small , were built , including stern - wheelers and ships with as many as 11 paddle - wheels a side ( the invention of the remarkable engineer Gao Xuan ) . In 1203 AD some of these were armored with iron plates ( to the design of another outstanding shipwright Qin Shi - Fu ) . The navy of the Southern Song Dynasty thus successfully held off the Jurchen Jin Dynasty and then the invading Mongols for the span of nearly two centuries , gaining complete control of the East China Sea .
Carcass ( projectile ) A carcass was an early form of incendiary bomb or shell , intended to set targets on fire . It comprised an external casing , usually of cast iron , filled with a highly flammable mixture , and having three to five holes through which the burning filling could blaze outward . Carcasses were shot from howitzer s , mortars , and other cannon s to set fire to buildings and defenses ; on impact , the shell shattered , spreading its incendiary filling around the target . Congreve rocket s were also sometimes fitted with carcass heads . They were named " carcass " because the circles which pass from one ring , or plate , to the other , were thought to resemble the ribs of a human carcass . History . Carcasses were used for the first time by the French under Louis XIV in 1672 . They were also fired from bomb vessel s . The carcass shell as used by the Royal Navy in the 18th century , most famously in the attack on Fort McHenry , was a hollow cast iron sphere weighing . Instead of the single fuse hole found on a conventional mortar shell of the period , the carcass had 3 openings , each in diameter . Its filling burned for 11 minutes upon firing . It was especially useful during night bombardments , as the burning projectile assisted in the aiming of the cannon . Composition . For the composition of the flammable material used in a carcass , 18th century philosopher Christian Wolff prescribed 10 parts of pounded gunpowder , 2 of nitre , 1 of sulfur , and 1 of colophony ; or 6 of gunpowder , 4 of nitre , 4 of sulfur , 1 of beaten glass , 0 . 5 of antimony 0 . 5 of camphor , 1 of sal armoniac , and 0 . 25 of common salt . For the shell , he started with two iron rings ( others used plates ) , fitting one at one extreme , near the aperture at which the carcass was to be fired , and the other at the other . These he braced with cords drawn lengthwise ; and across these , at right angles , laced other cords , making a knot at each intersection . Between the folds of the cords , he made holes , inserted copper tubes , and filled them half full of powder and lead bullets , packing it in with a tow . The internal shell ' s aperture was then plugged up , and it was immersed in a mixture of 4 parts of melted pitch , 20 of rosin , 1 of oil of turpentine , and as much ground gunpowder as was needed to reduce it to the consistency of a paste . After immersion , the shell was to be covered with tow , and immersed again , until it was the proper size for the mortar . Carcass shells as used by the Royal Navy from the 18th to the 19th centuries were filled with a mixture of saltpeter , sulfur , rosin , sulfide of antimony , tallow and turpentine .

On 16 May 2011 the " Bulkeley " responded to a mayday call from the Panamanian flagged very large crude carrier " Artemis Glory " by dispatching a Seahawk ( SH - 60B of HSL 48 ) to its position . Seeing that a piratical skiff carrying four men was firing upon the " Artemis Glory " , the Seahawk investigated the skiff . The pirates opened fire on the helicopter with small arms and were summarily neutralized by crew served weapons from the helicopter in self defense . The helicopter then withdrew without any casualties to its own crewmembers or that of the " Artemis Glory " . The ship returned to Norfolk on 15 July 2011 . During its deployment , it had participated in operations which had captured 75 Somali pirates and had missile strikes by its carrier strike group against the Libyan government .

45 mm anti - tank gun M1937 ( 53 - K ) The 45 mm anti - tank gun model 1937 ( factory designation 53 - K ) was a light quick - firing anti - tank gun used in the first stage of the German - Soviet War . It was created by Soviet artillery designer M . N . Loginov . Due to insufficient armor penetration it was replaced in service by the long - barreled 45 mm anti - tank gun M1942 ( M - 42 ) . History . The gun bearing factory designation 53 - K ( Cyrillic " 53 - К " ) was a combination of a modified carriage of the 37 mm anti - tank gun model 1931 ( built according to a documentation bought from Rheinmetall ) with a 45 mm barrel . The resulting light semi - automatic anti - tank gun was adopted for Red Army service in 1937 , and thus known as " 45 mm anti - tank gun M1937 " ( ) . These guns were used in the first stage of the German - Soviet War , but their anti - armor capabilities allowed them to fight successfully only with German light tanks and armored personnel carriers . Early models of the Panzer III and Panzer IV could also be knocked out at close range , but this put Soviet artillerymen in greater danger . Due to these circumstances , model 1937 guns were replaced with the all - new design , the more powerful model 1942 . The mass production of outdated model 1937 guns was stopped in 1943 . The total number of guns produced was 37 , 354 . Two such guns were employed as an anti - tank platoon s , organic to each rifle battalion . Additionally a dozen ( 12 guns ) was in anti - tank battalions at a level of a rifle division . It was also used by separate anti - tank regiment s ( 4 - 5 batteries of 4 guns each ) . Anti - aircraft gun 21 - K . The barrel of the 53 - K was placed on a pedestal mount and used by the Soviet Navy as an anti - aircraft gun beginning in 1934 . It was not very effective in this role since it had to be loaded by hand , which kept its rate of fire down to about 25 - 30 rounds per minute , and its lack of a time fuze meant that it had to score a direct hit to damage its targets .
