Fort of Leça de Palmeira The Fort of Leça da Palmeira ( ) , or alternately the Castle of Matosinhos ( ) is a 17th - century fort located in civil parish of Leça da Palmeira , municipality of Matosinhos in the Greater Porto region of Portugal . History . The fort was begun in 1638 in the area known as " Santa Catarina " by João Sá e Meneses , then Count of Penaguião , which they initially designated as the " Forte de Nossa Senhora das Neves da Barra de Leça " ( " Fort of Our Layd of the Snows of the Leça Sandbar " ) . The objective of this fortification was to reinforce the sandbar of the mouth of the Douro , in conjunction with the Fort of São Francisco Xavier do Queijo , and the Fort of São João da Foz . With the beginning of the Portuguese Restoration War in 1640 , the conclusion of the project took on a greater importance . But , by 1642 , the fort was not yet completed , such that officials of the municipal council of Porto petitioned King John IV to force the quick conclusion of the public works . The construction only continued in 1646 , and two years later the first garrison of six soldiers was instituted by royal order . But , the establishment of the garrison did not mean the construction was concluded . In 1655 , a new petition was sent to the King , yet the construction would drag onto the next century . In 1701 , the fort , still uncompleted , was home for a larger group of soldiers , artillery emplacements and four cannons . It was only in 1720 that the fort was finally completed . During the Liberal Wars , around 1832 , the fort had suffered some damage , and reconstruction were completed in the warehouses , the drawbridge , internal staircase and the parapets . A few years later , the fort lost its military function , with the removal of the garrison , and in 1844 the main square became the location of the customs house of Porto . In the 20th century , the fort was transferred to the Captaincy of the Port of Leixões , where they installed their services . In 1962 , a landscaping project was completed by Ilídio de Araújo , who beautified the grounds and area around the fort . Architecture . The fort is located along the urban shoreline of the civil parish of Leça da Palmeira , implanted in front of the Port of Leixões , and encircled by homes and residences . The fort is a typical design in the form of a star pattern , with four points , protected by angular curtain wall and barbican s . The fort still has some cannons along its battlements . Apart from a few dependencies associated with its service as fortification , the rest of the interior is occupied by constructions uncharacteristic of this service , constructed to service the Captaincy of the Porto Leixões , including arrials , communications antennas and service buildings .

Grand Army of the Republic Cemetery ( Seattle ) The Grand Army of the Republic Cemetery on Seattle , Washington ' s Capitol Hill is a cemetery situated just north of Lake View Cemetery on the hill ' s northern slope , on E . Howe Street between 12th and Everett Avenues E . It was established in 1895 by Seattle ' s five Grand Army of the Republic posts ( Stevens Post # 1 , Miller Post # 31 , Cushing Post # 56 , Saxton Post # 103 , and Green Lake # 112 ) on land donated by Huldah and David Kaufman , two of the first Jews in Seattle , having arrived there in 1869 . The cemetery was maintained by the G . A . R . posts until 1922 , at which point the property exclusive of the 526 gravesites was transferred to the city of Seattle , the gravesites were transferred to the Stevens Post , and the neighboring Lake View Cemetery was hired to maintain the grounds . The cemetery went into decline over the following decades , however , because of confusion over land title , the failure in 1939 to secure a WPA project , the imposition during World War II of the Coast Artillery on the grounds , and so on . In 1960 an attempt was made to transfer maintenance to the Veterans Administration , either in place or by moving the graves to Fort Lawton in Magnolia , now Discovery Park , but the VA was unable to spend money on cemeteries owned by others , and the graves were never moved . The land surrounding the graves came under the jurisdiction of Seattle ' s Department of Parks and Recreation . In 1996 , the parks department proposed that the park become an off - leash dog - run ; in response to this , the Friends of the GAR Cemetery Park was formed the next year . They now staff monthly work parties , are involved in headstone replacement , and perform daily flag raising .

The lead ship of the class was the , laid down 16 May 1961 and commissioned 15 June 1963 , at Avondale Shipyards , Louisiana . This class comprised the second generation of post - World War II destroyer escorts . These ships can be considered developmental vessels as many new systems were installed to test for future use , such as a new hull design , larger bow - mounted AN / SQS - 26 AX sonar system , and ASW weaponry . This class was a new design from the keel up , incorporating the FRAM improvements , and was specifically designed to operate the DASH drone helicopter . The sonar was later upgraded to the AN / SQS - 26AX ( R ) . The top weight of the new ASW equipment and the large bow - mounted sonar made the " Bronstein " frigates too slow to operate with the ASW task forces for which they had been designed . Thus the US Navy decided against any further procurement of ships of this class . The later s were given a larger power plant and greater speed . Ships . Only two ships of this class were built : and . Both were later sold to the Mexican Navy . " McCloy " .

One of the tugs crew was wounded by . 50 cal fire and was helo ' d off . A Coast Guard detachment estimated the amount and an attempt was made to tow the tug to port . The tug had too much damage and sank in the night after several attempts to salvage her . The " McCloy " made many drug busts late in her life , received several citations and was painted with Marijuana leaves for each bust . The " McCloy " sustained major damage during Hurricane Floyd in 1987 losing a large portion of its mast during the storm . Shelter was sought in the city of Morehead NC while the storm passed and damage was assessed . Other notables include involvement in the rescue of the crew of the . One of the last U . S . Navy diesel submarines , it had a battery compartment fire and was abandoned by her crew off the coast of Florida .

Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility A Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility ( NISMF ) is a facility owned by the U . S . Navy as a holding facility for decommissioned naval vessels , pending determination of their final fate . All ships in these facilities are inactive , but some are still on the Naval Vessel Register , while others have been struck from that Register . The ships that have been stricken from the NVR are disposed of by one of several means , including foreign military sale transfer , ship donation as a museum or memorial , domestic dismantling and recycling , artificial reefing , or use as a target vessel . Others are retention assets for possible future reactivation , which have been laid up for long - term preservation and are maintained with minimal maintenance ( humidity control , corrosion control , flood / fire watch ) should they need to be recalled to active duty . The Naval Sea Systems Command ' s Inactive Ships Management Office ( INACTSHIPOFF ) is based in Portsmouth , Virginia . There are NISMFs in : In addition , parts of Norfolk Naval Shipyard and Puget Sound Naval Shipyard are designated for the storage of inactive nuclear powered vessels .
