Tippu Tip Tippu Tip or Tib ( 1837 – June 14 , 1905 ) , real name Hamad bin Muḥammad bin Jumah bin Rajab bin Muḥammad bin Sa ‘ īd al - Murghabī , ( ) , was a Swahili - Zanzibari trader . He was famously known by the natives of East Africa as Tippu Tib after the sounds that his many guns made . A notorious slave trader , plantation owner and governor , who worked for a succession of sultans of Zanzibar , he led many trading expeditions into Central Africa , involving the slave trade and ivory trade . He constructed profitable trading posts that reached deep into Central Africa . He built himself a trading empire that he then translated into clove plantations on Zanzibar . Abdul Sheriff reported that when he left for his twelve years of " empire building " on the mainland , he had no plantations of his own . However , by 1895 , he had acquired " seven " shambas " [ plantations ] and 10 , 000 slaves . " His mother , Bint Habib bin Bushir , was a Muscat Arab of the ruling class . His father and paternal grandfather were coastal Swahili who had taken part in the earliest trading expeditions to the interior . His paternal great - grandmother , wife of Rajab bin Mohammed bin Said el Murgebi was the daughter of Juma bin Mohammed el Nebhani , a member of a respected Muscat ( Oman ) family , and an African woman from the village of Mbwa Maji , a small village south of what would later become the German capital of Dar es Salaam . He met and helped several famous western explorers of the African continent , including Henry Morton Stanley . Between 1884 and 1887 , El Murgebi claimed the Eastern Congo for himself and for the Sultan of Zanzibar , Bargash bin Said el Busaidi . In spite of his position as protector of Zanzibar ' s interests in Congo , he managed to maintain good relations with the Europeans . When , in August 1886 , fighting broke out between the Swahili and the representatives of King Leopold II of Belgium at Stanley Falls , El Murgebi went to the Belgian consul at Zanzibar to assure him of his " good intentions . " Although he was still a force in Central African politics , he could see by 1886 that power in the region was shifting . In early 1887 , Stanley arrived in Zanzibar and proposed that Tippu Tip be made governor of the Stanley Falls District in the Congo Free State . Both Leopold and Sultan Barghash bin Said agreed and on February 24 , 1887 , Hamed bin Mohammed el Murgebi accepted . Around 1890 / 91 , he returned to Zanzibar where he retired . He wrote his autobiography , which is the first example of this literary genre in Swahili . El Murgebi wrote his autobiography in Swahili in Arabic script . Dr . Heinrich Brode , who knew him in Zanzibar , transcribed the manuscript into Roman script and translated it into German . It was subsequently translated into English and published in Britain in 1907 . He died June 13 , 1905 , of malaria ( according to Brode ) in his home in Stone Town , the main town on the island of Zanzibar .
Anglo - Spanish War ( 1762 – 63 ) The Anglo – Spanish War was fought between Britain and Spain as part of the Seven Years ' War . It lasted from January 1762 until February 1763 when the Treaty of Paris brought it to an end . Background . When war was declared between France and Great Britain in 1756 , Spain remained neutral . King Ferdinand VI of Spain ' s prime minister Ricardo Wall effectively opposed the French party who wanted to enter the war on the side of France . Britain made an attempt to persuade Spain to join the war on their side , by offering Gibraltar in exchange for Spanish help in regaining Minorca , but this was rejected by Madrid . Everything changed when Ferdinand VI died in 1759 and was succeeded by his younger brother Charles III of Spain . Charles was more ambitious than his melancholy brother . One of the main objects of Charles ' s policy was the survival of Spain as a colonial power and , therefore , as a power to be reckoned with in Europe . By 1761 France looked like losing the war against Great Britain . Furthermore , Spain suffered from attacks by English privateers in Spanish waters , and claimed compensation . Fearing that a British victory over France in the Seven Years ' War would upset the balance of colonial power , he signed the Family Compact with France ( both countries were ruled by branches of the Bourbon family ) in August 1761 . This brought war with Great Britain in January 1762 . The war . Spain agreed with France to attack Portugal which remained neutral , but which was an important economical ally of Great Britain . France hoped that this new front would draw away British forces , now directed against France . On May 9 Spain invaded Portugal , capturing Almeida , and made Great Britain send a force of 8 , 000 men to Portugal , but little more was achieved . The British could now attack the Spanish colonies . A British expedition against Cuba took Havana and Western Cuba in August 1762 , along with fourteen ships of the line , the bulk of Spain ' s Caribbean fleet . One and a half months later , the British took Manila , which meant the loss of both the capitals of the Spanish West Indies and the Spanish East Indies , a serious blow and loss in prestige for Spain . An attack by the British East India Company in South America was not successful , when the warship Lord Clive was sunk by Spanish coastal fire . By the Treaty of Paris ( 1763 ) Spain handed over Florida and Minorca and had to withdraw from Portugal and Brazil , in exchange for British withdrawal from Cuba . As compensation for their ally ' s losses , the French ceded Louisiana to Spain by the Treaty of Fontainebleau ( 1762 ) .

New Threat Upgrade The Program . New Threat Upgrade ( NTU ) was a United States Navy program to improve the capability of ships equipped with Terrier and Tartar anti - aircraft systems . was selected to install and test the Terrier New Threat Upgrade ( NTU ) Combat System with the improved Standard Missile Two Block II ( Extended Range ) . Testing lasted from October 1981 - March 1985 . This New Threat Upgrade system made USS MAHAN the most capable AAW ship afloat . New Threat Upgrade allowed the full use of newer Standard missile s ( SM - 2 ) and improved the interoperability of the radar and computer systems aboard the ships . The system allows the ships to which it was fitted to time share illumination radars for multiple missile interceptions in a manner similar to the Aegis Combat System . Some sources indicate that NTU ships were superior in some respects to Aegis ships of the same era , particularly in the area of user interface . They were inferior in that they could not deal with a saturation missile attack as well as Aegis vessels . The lower levels of funding available to the USN after the Cold War lead to most of the NTU ships being retired early , because of high cost of operation compared to newer vessels . As a result , the United States Navy no longer fields any NTU capable ships and most newly constructed ships have the Aegis weapon system . Modifications to Existing Ships . The New Threat Upgrade to the " Leahy " class included massive remodeling of the ship from food service space rehabilitation to a main propulsion system overhaul . Entire systems were removed and replaced , for example the AN / SPS - 40 air - search radar was replaced with the AN / SPS - 49 air - search radar . The upgrade was also quite expensive and the ships modified didn ' t serve much longer after the modification . For example , USS " Gridley " ( CG - 21 ) received NTU in 1991 at a cost of $ 55 million but was decommissioned in early 1994 . End of the Cold War . The Cold War ended shortly after the expensive New Threat Upgrade occurred and all ships that received the upgrades were decommissioned within six years of their upgrade . The USS Texas ( CGN - 39 ) was decommissioned during the upgrade . KDX - II Class . The Navy of the Republic of Korea uses a NTU derived system for its Chungmugong Yi Sunshin class destroyers . NTU ships . These classes had some of their units modified with the New Threat Upgrade .
