Cilurnum Cilurnum or Cilurvum was a fort on Hadrian ' s Wall mentioned in the " Notitia Dignitatum " . It is now identified with the fort found at Chesters ( also known as Walwick Chesters to distinguish it from other sites named Chesters in the vicinity ) near the village of Walwick , Northumberland , England . It was built in 123 AD , just after the wall ' s completion . Cilurnum is considered to be the best preserved Roman cavalry fort along Hadrian ' s Wall . There is a museum on the site , housing finds from the fort and elsewhere along the wall . Construction . The site guarded a bridge carrying the military road behind the wall across the River North Tyne at this point , whose abutments survive . It was a cavalry fort at its foundation , for retaliatory raids into barbarian areas north of the wall , then given over to infantry later . Hadrian himself encouraged the " Cult of Disciplina " amongst legions stationed at the wall , and an early inscription on an altar dedicated to Disciplina , found in 1978 , indicates the earliest known military presence was a wing of cavalry , " ala Augusta ob virtutem appellata " ( " named Augusta because of its valour " ) . Inscriptions have also been found showing the First Cohort of Dalmatians and the First Cohort of Vangiones from Upper Rhineland in Germany were also stationed here . Excavation . In the early 19th century Nathaniel Clayton , owner of Chesters House and Estate , moved hundreds of tons of earth to cover over the last remains of the fort as part of his parkland landscaping , thereby creating a smooth uninterrupted grassland slope down to the River Tyne ; he collected , before they disappeared , a number of Roman artefacts which he preserved in the family . However his son John Clayton , a noted antiquarian , removed all his father ' s work , exposing the fort , excavating , and establishing a small museum for his finds . John Clayton also made excavations at Housesteads Fort , Carrawburgh Mithraic Temple , and Carvoran , amongst others . Museum . The museum was commissioned in 1895 and opened in 1903 . It is a grade II * listed building and was designed by Richard Norman Shaw . It displays part of John Clayton ' s collection of Roman finds .

John Henry Helms John Henry Helms ( March 16 , 1874 – February 17 , 1919 ) was a United States Marine and a recipient of the United States military ' s highest decoration , the Medal of Honor , for saving a shipmate from drowning . Biography . Helms was born on March 16 , 1874 in Chicago , Illinois , and enlisted in the Marines on July 6 , 1897 , at the Marine Corps headquarters in Washington , D . C . At one point in his service , he jumped overboard from a tugboat in rough seas and rescued a drowning sailor , Fireman Second Class W . Gallagher . Helms later served as a sergeant aboard the , the flagship of the South Atlantic Squadron . On January 10 , 1901 , the " Chicago " was anchored in the harbor of Montevideo , Uruguay , and the crew was allowed to go swimming . One sailor , Warrant Officer ' s Steward Ishi Tomizi , began struggling in the water and was " in imminent danger of drowning . " Helms jumped overboard in full uniform and saved the man . For this action , Helms was awarded the Medal of Honor , although his nomination was not without controversy . He was first recommended for the Medal of Honor by the " Chicago " ' s captain , Charles H . Rockwell . The nomination was endorsed by Admiral Winfield Scott Schley , commander of the South Atlantic Squadron , and forwarded to the Bureau of Navigation , which was in charge of personnel affairs . The bureau chief , Admiral Arent S . Crowninshield , advised that the nomination be rejected . Crowninshield believed that , since the " Chicago " had been at anchor in calm seas , Helms ' actions did not put himself in danger and did not constitute " extraordinary heroism . " The Commandant of the Marine Corps , General Charles Heywood , felt otherwise , stating that Helms " displayed extraordinary heroism in saving lives at the risk of his own . " The final decision was made by the Secretary of the Navy , John Davis Long . Long agreed with Crowninshield that the rescue of Tomizi by itself was not sufficient for the decoration , but added that Helms ' previous rescue of Gallagher and the endorsements by Admiral Schley and General Heywood were enough to warrant the medal . Crowninshield ' s opposition to the award led to accusations of " snobbishness " , with the " Baltimore American " alleging that Helms ' nomination had been objected to because he was not a commissioned officer . Helms was officially awarded the Medal of Honor and a $ 100 gratuity on March 23 , 1901 , two and a half months after his rescue of Tomizi . His citation reads : Serving on board the U . S . S . " Chicago " , for heroism in rescuing Ishi Tomizi , ship ' s cook , from drowning at Montevideo , Uruguay , 10 January 1901 . Helms died at age 44 , while still serving in the Marine Corps . He was buried at Mound Grove Cemetery in Kankakee , Illinois .

Ford " - class carrier program include a two - reactor complex intended to replace the A4W reactor design used on the " Nimitz " - class carriers . The new A1B reactor plant is a smaller , more efficient design that provides approximately three times the electrical power of the " Nimitz " - class A4W reactor plant . The modernization of the plant led to a higher core energy density , lower demands for pumping power , a simpler construction , and the use of modern electronic controls and displays .
