Cyril Sankey Fox. Sir Cyril Sankey Fox (24 February 1886 – 28 December 1951) was an English mining engineer and geologist who worked in India. He served as director of the Geological Survey of India from 1939 until his retirement in 1943. He was knighted shortly before his retirement.

Biography 

Fox was born in Calcutta, the son of John Henry Neat Fox and was educated at the Sibpur Civil Engineering College and then at the University of Birmingham receiving a BSc in mining (1908). He then worked at the Cannock Chase Colliery and taught briefly at the University of Birmingham. He joined the Geological Survey of India in 1911 and became a director in 1939. During World War I, he served with the Royal Engineers at the Battle of Loos (1915) and lost much of his hearing from a shell explosion. In India, he was involved in the management of mica mines in Joasimar, Bihar, surveys for bauxite and coal. During World War II, he had several old mines reopened including the Zawar lead and zinc mines. He was knighted in 1943 and after an extension, retired on July 1, 1943.

Fox married Mabel Janet Dunn in 1916. He died at Calcutta.

JS Kurobe. JS Kurobe (ATS-4202) is a training support ship of Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.

Development and design 
It is a ship for anti-aircraft shooting training support, and its main purpose is to launch and guide unmanned target aircraft. It was built as a complement to the air threat, higher performance of air defense weapons, and the obsolescence of the predecessor training ship .

It is a flat deck type ship type, equipped with one  single gun on the front deck. The target aircraft will be equipped with four BMQ-34AJ Firebee and four BQM-74E Chaka III, for a total of eight. These target aircraft are launched from the rear helipad, and up to three aircraft can be simultaneously guided and controlled by a four-sided phased array radar on the top of the ship's structure. A radar for evaluating shooting results is also installed separately.

Construction and career
Kurobe was laid down on 31 October 1987 at JFE Holdings, Kure and launched on 23 May 1988. The ship was commissioned on 23 March 1989.

In September 1990, a female Self-Defense Forces officer (correspondent, Naoko Matsuo, 3rd Lieutenant) became the first ship of the Maritime Self-Defense Force to be on board. On 24 June 1994 Kurobe was reorganized into the escort fleet as a ship under direct control.

On 26 March 2008 the 1st Maritime Training Support Corps was newly formed under the escort fleet and was incorporated together with . In response to the Great East Japan Earthquake off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake, the vessel departed for the disaster area, Onagawa Town, Miyagi Prefecture, to aid in disaster relief.

James Funk. James Funk was a 19th-century New York City pilot boat built in 1862 at Greenpoint, Brooklyn for a company of New York Pilots. She was built for speed. She was assigned the "Number 22," which was displayed on her mainsail. The James Funk was captured and burned by the Confederate raiding steamer  during the American Civil War. The Charlotte Webb was built in 1865 to take the place of the James Funk that was destroyed.

Construction and service 

The James Funk No. 22, was launched in 1862 from Greenpoint, Brooklyn. She was registered with the Record of American and Foreign Shipping from 1883–1984 as James Funk. Her master was Captain A. C. Malcolm; her owners were a company of New York Pilots, belonging to the port of New York. She was 81 feet in length, her draft was 9 feet, she weighed 122-tons, and built for speed.

On October 16, 1863, when the weather was dark and thick, the pilot-boat James Funk collided with the United States supply steamer Union, near Sandy Hook. The pilot-boat was in tow and no ship light was on. She started to sink and her crew escaped in yawls. It was estimated that she was worth between $12,000 and $15,000. She was raised and then return to port.

Civil War

End of service

On August 11, 1864, during the American Civil War, the pilot-boat James Funk, No. 22, was 60 miles southeast of Sandy Hook, when the Confederate raiding cruiser the Tallahassee approached disguised with an American ensign flying at the masthead. Pilot William Smith, of the pilot-boat took a yawl to board the Tallahassee thinking she was in need of a pilot. Instead, she was captured by the  Confederate colonel, John Taylor Wood, who took control of the James Funk. His objective was to secure a pilot who could take the Tallahassee into Long Island Sound. Twenty of the Tallahassee's crew came onboard the pilot-boat and the crew of the James Funk were transferred to the Tallahassee.

The James Funk was turned into a tender and a decoy for the Tallahassee. Captain Wood used the pilot-boat to capture and burn other schooners and brigs, including the A. M. Lee. He then burned the James Funk, which he later regretted.

The same day, the Tallahassee captured and burned the pilot-boat William Bell, No. 24, Adriatic and several other boats. The Confederates then sailed the Tallahassee to Fire Island, where the crew and passengers went ashore. Robert Yates, captain of the pilot-boat provided his account of the capture of the James Funk, after he arrived safely back to his home in New York City.

In the book, "From Sandy Hook to 62", Charles Edward Russell, describes the chase of the Tallahassee cruiser against the James Funk and William Bell.

The pilot boat  Charlotte Webb was built by Eckford Webb in May 1865 at the Webb & Bell shipyard in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, to take the place of the James Funk, No. 22, that was captured and burned by the Confederate raiding steamer Tallahassee.

Balboa 24. The Balboa 24 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by W. Shad Turner and William Downing as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1981.

The Balboa 24 is a development of the similar 1980 Laguna 24S.

Production
The design was built in the United States by Coastal Recreation, Inc in Costa Mesa, California and Laguna Yachts of Stanton, California, which bought out Coastal Recreation. The boat is now out of production.

Design
The Balboa 24 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a 7/8 fractional sloop rig with anodized aluminum spars. A masthead rig was optional. The hull has a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin shoal draft keel. The cabin is equipped with a "pop-top". It has a  mast, displaces  and carries  of ballast. An optional tall rig version with a  mast and a masthead rig displaces  and carries  of ballast.

The boat has a draft of  with the standard shoal draft keel. It is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.

The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a straight settee in the main cabin and an aft berth on the port side. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner, alcohol-fired stove, an ice box and a sink. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side. The interior is trimmed with teak.

Ventilation is provided by a plexiglass hatch on the foredeck and a cabin pop-top that also provides  of headroom when in the open position.

For sailing the design is equipped with a spinnaker of  or  for the tall rig version.

The design has a Portsmouth Yardstick DP-N racing average handicap of 99.0, a PHRF of 186 and is raced with a crew of two sailors.

Operational history
In a 1994 review Richard Sherwood wrote, "Two rigs are available for this sloop. The first has a 26 1/2-foot mast; the taller rig has a 28-foot mast and 200 additional pounds of ballast. The latter is the better rig for racing."

In a 2010 review Steve Henkel noted that the boat has only  of cabin headroom and a short keel that may reduce upwind performance.
