Japanese landing ship No. 1. No. 1 was a  of the Imperial Japanese Navy during the Pacific War. Completed in early 1944, the ship was used as a convoy escort on one successful mission to resupply Imperial Japanese Army units on Saipan. On the return trip, No. 1 was badly damaged by American aircraft and towed to Palau. Redesignated as an anti-aircraft ship, she was sunk by American bombers in July 1944.

Design
No.1-class landing ships were designed as fast amphibious assault ships that could rapidly land troops, vehicles, and cargo. The ships measured  long overall, with a beam of  and a draught of . Displacing 1,500 tons at standard load, they were powered by one Kampon geared turbine. It drove one shaft using steam provided by two Kampon  water-tube boilers. No. 1 was capable of carrying four Daihatsu landing craft; it could also hold seven Type 2 Ka-Mi amphibious tanks or two Kō-hyōteki-class submarines in its hull.

The No.1-class ships were heavily armed; the main armament consisted of a  Type 89 DP gun in a twin-gun mount, as well as ten  Type 96 anti-aircraft guns in three triple, one twin and four single mounts. Forty-two depth charges were also fit on the ships for use by four throwers. No. 1 was fitted with Type 22 search radar; for anti-submarine duties, it was also fit with Type 93 sonar and Type 93 hydrophones.

History
No. 1 was laid down at Kure Naval Arsenal on 5 November 1943 and launched on 8 February 1944.  On 10 May, No. 1, with Lieutenant Commander Shinbori Masao in command, was completed and assigned to the Yokosuka Guard Force. On 29 May, No. 1 departed from Tokyo with the torpedo boat  and three submarine chasers to escort convoy No. 3530 to Saipan, consisting of nine transports carrying troops of the Imperial Japanese Army's 43rd Infantry Division as well as regular supplies. During the journey, No. 1 served as an anti-submarine vessel, conducting sweeps between 1 June to 6 June, but these did not deter American submarines, which sank five transports of the convoy in that time period. On 11 June, the convoy finally arrived at Saipan, but was forced to flee due to the invasion of the island by the United States Marine Corps.

On 13 June, while sailing between Ulithi and Guam, the convoy was attacked by Grumman F6F Hellcat fighter-bombers of Task Force 58, severely damaging No. 1 and disabling her power and navigation functions. Following five days of drifting, the ship was towed to Palau by the transport Akishima Maru on 18 June. After a month of refitting, No. 1 was deployed as a floating anti-aircraft battery off the north shore of Ngargol Island; to camouflage the ship, it was furnished with trees and branches in order to blend in with the shoreline. On 26 July, during an American air attack on Palau, six Curtiss SB2C Helldiver bombers from  attacked No. 1; they claimed one bomb hit and five near-misses. The following day, the landing ship was once again bombed by Helldivers and Grumman TBF Avenger bombers from Lexington and . Fatally damaged by four bombs, No. 1 broke in half and sank near . The ship was stricken from the navy list on 10 September 1944.

German destroyer Schleswig-Holstein. Schleswig-Holstein (D182) was the second ship of the Hamburg-class destroyer of the German Navy.

Background 
The Type 101 Hamburg class was the only class of destroyers built during post-war Germany. They were specifically designed to operate in the Baltic Sea, where armament and speed is more important than seaworthiness. They were named after Bundesländer (states of Germany) of West Germany.

The German shipyard Stülcken was contracted to design and build the ships. Stülcken was rather inexperienced with naval shipbuilding, but got the order, since the shipyards traditionally building warships for the German navies like Blohm + Voss, Howaldtswerke or Lürssen were all occupied constructing commercial vessels.

Construction and career
Schleswig-Holstein was laid down on 20 August 1959 and launched on 20 August 1960 in Hamburg. She was commissioned on 12 October 1964 and decommissioned on 15 December 1994. Finally towed to Belgium and scrapped in 1998.

Curtailment (electricity). In electric grid power generators, curtailment is the deliberate reduction in output below what could have been produced in order to balance energy supply and demand or due to transmission constraints. The definition is not strict, and several types of curtailment exist. "Economic dispatch" (low market price) is the most common.

Curtailment is a loss of potentially useful energy, and may impact power purchase agreements. However, utilizing all available energy may require costly methods such as building new power lines or storage, becoming more expensive than letting surplus power go unused.

Examples
After ERCOT built a new transmission line from the Competitive Renewable Energy Zone in West Texas to the central cities in the Texas Interconnection in 2013, curtailment was reduced from 8-16% to near zero.

Curtailment of wind power in western China was around 20% in 2018.

In 2018, curtailment in the California grid was 460 GWh, or 0.2% of generation. Curtailment has since increased to 150-300 GWh/month in spring of 2020 and 2021, mainly solar power at noon as part of the duck curve.

In Hawaii, curtailment reached 20% on the island of Maui in Hawaii in the second and third quarters of 2020.

USCGC Charles Moulthrope. USCGC Charles Moulthrope (WPC-1141) is the United States Coast Guard's 41st  cutter, and the first of six to be homeported in Manama, Bahrain.

Like her sister ships she was built in the Bollinger Shipyards, in Lockport, Louisiana.

Design

Like her sister ships, Charles Moulthrope is designed to perform search and rescue missions, port security, and the interception of smugglers.  She is armed with a remotely-controlled, gyro-stabilized 25 mm autocannon, four crew served M2 Browning machine guns, and light arms. She is equipped with a stern launching ramp, that allows her to launch or retrieve a water-jet propelled high-speed auxiliary boat, without first coming to a stop.  Her high-speed boat has over-the-horizon capability, and is useful for inspecting other vessels, and deploying boarding parties.

The crew's drinking water needs are met through a desalination unit.  The crew mess is equipped with a television with satellite reception.

Operational career

The vessel was delivered to the Coast Guard base in Key West for her acceptance trials on October 22, 2020. She was commissioned in Portsmouth, Virginia on January 21, 2021.

Charles Moulthrope began her trip from Puerto Rico to Manama, Bahrain on April 1, 2021 accompanied by the cutters Robert Goldman and . The ships arrived at Naval Station Rota in Spain on April 14, 2021 after their Atlantic crossing. Charles Moulthrope and her sister ship Robert Goldman reached their homeport of Manama, Bahrain on May 25, 2021.

Namesake

In 2010, Charles "Skip" W. Bowen, who was then the United States Coast Guard's most senior non-commissioned officer, proposed that all 58 cutters in the Sentinel class should be named after enlisted sailors in the Coast Guard, or one of its precursor services, who were recognized for their heroism.  The Coast Guard chose Charles Moulthrope as the namesake of the 41st cutter.  Moulthorpe was serving on the Revenue Service cutter USRC Commodore Perry, exploring Alaska, in 1896, when he died after a fall to its deck. Not long before, he had saved four of his shipmates after their small boat capsized while unsuccessfully trying to rescue a fifth shipmate.
