The sword is a reference to the Rüdt family's jurisdiction with regards to the court over which they presided, and also to the place where the Thing was held. The wavy bars are a water symbol. The tinctures argent and gules (silver and red) refer to Electoral Mainz's former hegemony over the area, which ended with the Old Empire's downfall in 1803.

The arms have been borne since 1957.

Rockland Memorial Library

The Rockland Memorial Library is the public library of Rockland, Massachusetts. It is located at 382 Union Street, in a Carnegie-funded Classical Revival building, which was built in 1903 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Architecture and history

The Rockland Memorial Library is set in the center of Rockland, at the southwest corner of Union and Belmont Streets. It is a single-story masonry structure, with a foundation that is fully exposed at the rear of the sloping lot. Its walls are red brick laid in stretcher bond, with terra cotta trim. Trim elements include a water table separating the basement and first floor, corner quoining, pilasters that flank the entrance, and window surrounds. The building has a roughly cross-shaped plan, with narrow projecting sections to the front and rear center, and wider wings to either side that originally housed reading rooms. The front-facing projection houses the main entrance, which is slightly recessed, and flanked by Ionic columns and square pilasters, with a modillioned gable pediment above.

Rockland's first documented library was a private circulating collection established in 1833, when it was still part of Abington. This collection was taken over by the town (separated from Abington in 1874) in 1878, and was housed in a commercial building at Union and Church Streets that was destroyed by fire in 1890, taking part of the collection with it. Although funds were raised in the 1890s for a permanent home for the library, its construction was only made possible by a grant of $12,500 from Andrew Carnegie in 1902. The present building was completed in 1903 to a design by the Boston architectural firm McLean & Wright.

Rückeroth

Rückeroth is an Ortsgemeinde – a community belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde – in the Westerwaldkreis in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

Geography

Rückeroth lies 1 km from Herschbach and 4 km from Selters. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Selters, a kind of collective municipality. Its seat is in the like-named town.

History

In 1259, Rückeroth had its first documentary mention. In the middle of the community stands an Evangelical church that was built between 1240 and 1250. Right near the church is found a very old linden tree whose exact age is unknown, although what is known is that in the Middle Ages it served as the “court linden” (Gerichtslinde). In the late 19th century, a volunteer fire brigade was established, which still exists now.

Politics

The municipal council is made up of 8 council members, as well as the honorary and presiding mayor (Ortsbürgermeister), who were elected in a majority vote in a municipal election on 13 June 2004.

Regular events

As well as the volunteer fire brigade, there are in Rückeroth a shooting club and a table tennis club. Each summer, tractor fans from the surrounding area meet at the village square for their Oldtimertreffen, a vintage vehicle rally. A kermis to mark the church's consecration was no longer held after 2000 owing to a lack of “resonance”; however, the kermis was to have been held once again in 2007.

Economy and infrastructure

Northwest of the community runs Bundesstraße 413, leading from Bendorf to Hachenburg. The nearest Autobahn interchange is Dierdorf on the A 3 (Cologne–Frankfurt). The nearest InterCityExpress stop is the railway station at Montabaur on the Cologne-Frankfurt high-speed rail line.

Weather warning

A weather warning generally refers to an alert issued by a meteorological agency to warn citizens of approaching dangerous weather. A weather watch, on the other hand, typically refers to an alert issued to indicate that conditions are favorable for the development of dangerous weather patterns, although the dangerous weather conditions themselves are not currently present.

Australia

The Bureau of Meteorology is responsible for issuing weather warnings in Australia. The Bureau's warnings can be separated into severe thunderstorm warnings and severe weather warnings. Severe thunderstorm warnings are issued when either a severe thunderstorm is reported or if existing thunderstorms are expected to become severe.

Canada

Main article: Severe weather terminology (Canada)

In Canada, governmental weather warnings and watches are issued by the Environment Canada. Environment Canada defines an advisory as "an alert to cover a wide array of deteriorating weather conditions," a watch as "when conditions favour that severe weather forming" and a warning as "severe weather is actually occurring or is imminent." . Additionally, Environment Canada breaks down weather alerts based upon the specific type of hazardous weather. These alerts are regionally issued throughout Canada and include, but are not limited to, winter storms, extreme temperature(including tornadoes), wind, tsunami, tropical cyclones, and extreme precipitation amounts.

New Zealand

MetService is the National Meteorological Service of New Zealand, and is designated by the Minister of Transport to provide New Zealand's authorised meteorological warning service.website. Like the United States NWS, MetService breaks down weather warnings and watches based on the specific type of hazardous weather – heavy rain, heavy snow, severe gales, and other weather likely to cause significant disruption to the general public or specific industry groups. MetService also provides Severe Thunderstorm Outlooks, Watches, and Warnings to deal with heavy rain and strong wind gusts caused by thunderstorms, as well as large hail and damaging tornadoes.

Philippines

In the Philippines, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) issues rainfall advisories, thunderstorm advisories, gale warnings, flood warnings, and tropical cyclone wind signals.

Sweden


Weather warning

Sweden

The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute uses terminology based on other countries. Yellow level means forecast of weather that can mean some risks and disturbances to transport and other parts of society. Amber level is for weather that can mean danger, damage, and larger disturbances. Red level is for weather that can mean big danger, serious damage, and major disturbances. This can refer to many types of weather related events such as wind, flooding, snow, forest fires, etc. Sweden does not have as severe weather as some other countries, so red events in Sweden would normally not cause large international headlines.

Until 2021 the SMHI its own warning level terminology, Class 1, 2 and 3, fairly much corresponding to Yellow, Amber and Red.

United Kingdom

The Met Office, the United Kingdom's national weather service, does not issue separate weather warnings and watches, but has an analogous system of flash warnings and advance warnings that serve the same general role of weather warnings and weather watches, respectively. Other official meteorological departments may use similar systems but use different terms.

The Met Office and other weather services have three colour coded warning levels:

  * Yellow: Be aware. Possible travel delays, or the disruption of your day-to-day activities.
  * Amber: Be prepared. Could cause road and rail closures, interruption to power, and the potential risk to life and property.
  * Red: Take action. Widespread damage, travel and power disruption, and risk to life are likely. Avoid dangerous areas.

Thunderstorm warnings both Severe and Watch are also issued as of 2018.

United States

Main article: Severe weather terminology (United States)

In the United States, governmental weather warnings and watches are issued by the National Weather Service, which is itself a branch of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The NWS defines a watch as "the risk of hazardous weather or hydrologic event [increasing] significantly, but its occurrence, location, and/or timing is still uncertain" and a warning as "hazardous weather or hydrologic event [that] is occurring, is imminent, or has a very high probability of occurring" . Additionally, the NWS breaks down weather warnings and watches based upon the specific type of hazardous weather. These warnings and watches include, but are not limited to, flooding, severe local storms, tropical cyclones, and winter storms.

Ramakrishnapuram Lake

Ramakrishnapuram Lake, originally named as Mukidigan Cheruvu, is a lake located in Ramakrishnapuram Hamlet, Neredmet Village, Hyderabad near Ramakistapuram Gate Railway Station. It is home to many migratory birds.water pollution. GHMC is trying to stop pollution but the efforts are not effective. Migratory birds and other animals are also affected by the pollution.

History

RK Puram lake's also Known as Mukidigan Cheruvu (Original Name) roots can be traced back to 1798 when the 'subsidiary alliance' was proposed by then British Governor-General in India, Lord Wellesley.

By the early 1800s, the Electronics and Mechanical Engineering (EME), which is presently the Military College of Electronics and Mechanical Engineering (MCEME), had been set up at Trimulgherry. The engineers and electricians who worked here needed water, So RK Puram Lake was commissioned by the Nizam and dug up in the mid-1800s, occupying a space of around 100 acres.

There is no established date for when the RK Puram lake was dug up, but its roots can be traced back to 1798 when the 'subsidiary alliance' was proposed by then British Governor-General in India, Lord Wellesley.

As part of the alliance, the East India Company offered protection to the rulers of princely states, in exchange for money or land.

Nizam Sikander Jah, the third ruler from the Asaf Jahi dynasty, was said to be one of the first princely states to sign the pact.

At this time, Secunderabad was a small taluk, described as a low flat ridge, near a village north of the Hussain Sagar Lake. It was here that the British built the cantonment area.

Speaking to TNM, Murali Chemuturi, a writer and long-time resident of the area, narrates, “Mudfort, which is now just the name of an area, was the first place where the East India Company built its garrison. Over time, the garrison expanded, and soon it had spread all the way up to Bolaram.”

By the early 1800s, the Electronics and Mechanical Engineering (EME), which is presently the Military College of Electronics and Mechanical Engineering (MCEME), had been set up.


Ramakrishnapuram Lake

Though it is now a populated area in the city, this was the time that people first settled in then Neredmet village.

“The engineers and electricians who worked there needed two main services. First, they had dry toilets and needed someone for manual scavenging, and secondly, they needed milk and food. For the first, they hired some Scheduled Caste people from Tamil Nadu and for the second purpose, they hired Yadavs (a cattle-breeding caste), from Uttar Pradesh,” Murali says.

“The two groups were housed nearby, and while Neredmet became the village RK Puram was the hamlet where the SC persons stayed,” he adds.

All three of these groups needed water, so the RK Puram Lake was commissioned by the Nizam and dug up in the mid-1800s, occupying a space of around 100 acres.

After the sepoy mutiny in 1857, the British continued to expand aggressively, and the area's population began to grow.

The lake remained a major source of drinking water and largely clean, until the late 1960s, when the Electronics Corporation of India Limited (ECIL) was established.

“There was no shortage of water, which is why the old houses in RK Puram have no well or borewell. In 1965, Sainik Nagar was the first colony to be allotted. Despite this, the lake remained clean, as the colony remained downstream of the lake,” says Murali.

“After ECIL came up, the politicians of the time laid a road right through the lake, to create a shortcut. In 1976, the lake flooded the road, following which it was raised by 5 feet by the gram panchayat with the help of mud and stones,” he adds.

According to locals, this was when a large portion of the lake was killed, as the water that was cut off from the rest of the lake, was eventually dumped with debris and flattened.

“However, it was only in the mid-80s that things started going downhill, as several colonies like GK Colony, Sri Colony, Bank Colony and Bhagat Singh Nagar were built upstream, and untreated sewage started flowing directly into the lake,” Murali says.

Lepagia

Lepagia is an extinct genus of poorly known carnivorous cynodonts, which lived during the Upper Triassic in Europe. Partly due to the paucity of remains (it is only known from teeth) the precise affinities of this genus are unclear. It seems reasonably closely related to Probainognathus, a somewhat earlier inhabitant of South America. The genus Lepagia ("for Lepage") was named by Hahn, Wild and Wouters in 1987 based on a single species.

Fossil remains of the species Lepagia gaumensis have been found in the Norian (late) - Rhaetian (early) (Upper Triassic)-age strata from Habay-la-Vielle, Hallau, Saint-Nicolas-de-Port in Belgium, Switzerland and France.

The holotype is at the Institut royal des Sciences naturelles de Belgique (Royal Institute of Natural Sciences of Belgium) in Brussels. These teeth are 2 – 3 mm in length. The postcanines have long and narrow crowns with three to five cusps, the central one of which is dominant and points straight upwards. The root is vaguely rectangular, with the lower portion tapering. There are no distinctive wear facets, but the separation of crown and root are clear. Sometimes the crown is larger and sometimes the root.

Godefroit and Battail cite similarities and differences with and to both Chiniquodontidae and Dromatheriidae and leave the systematical placement open.

Stephan Bodecker

tombstone of Bishop Stephan in the cathedral of Brandenburg "St. Peter and Paul

Stephan Bodecker (1384 – 15 February 1459) was the 37th Bishop of Brandenburg and a Christian Hebraist. He is known as the most important of the bishops of Brandenburg.

He was born the son of a poor cooper from Rathenow, a small town on the river Havel around 20 miles north of Brandenburg an der Havel. The very gifted young Bodecker studied arts, philosophy and law at the universities of Erfurt, Leipzig and Prague and became a well known scholar and adviser to the Brandenburgian margraves. As bishop of Brandenburg he became a Prince of the Empire, thus having a very unusual career for the Middle Ages.

Bishop Bodecker was a knowledgeable friend and strong defender of the discriminated Jews in Brandenburg. Furthermore, he reorganized the diocese, which was in a chaotic state when he took office.

Bishop Bodecker was a member of the order of Premonstratensians.

He is buried in the Cathedral of Ss. Peter and Paul (in German) in Brandenburg.

Orchis pallens

Orchis pallens, the pale orchid or pale-flowered orchid, is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the genus Orchis of the family Orchidaceae. It is found in most of Europe ranging from Spain across to the Caucasus. It blooms in spring with pale yellow flowers.

Description

Close-up of the flowers of O. pallens

Orchis pallens is the least variable of the Orchis genus.

It has a tuber,3–3.5 cm (1–1 in) long and 1.5–2 cm (1–1 in) in diameter, underneath the tuber are numerous secondary roots which are 10–20 cm (4–8 in) long.

Above the tuber, it has 4-6 leaves,basal rosette. The leaves are large,6–15 cm (2–6 in) long and 1.5–5 cm (1–2 in) wide.

In Central Europe, O. pallens is sometimes confused with yellow-flowering form of orchid, Dactylorhiza sambucina. They can easily be distinguished from each other by several morphological features, including D. sambucina has leaves which are distributed along the stem.

Orchis pallens has a strong, straight, green stem,15–45 cm (5.9–17.7 in) tall.

Orchis pallens is one of the first orchids in the northern part of its distribution area to bloom. and sometimes in June.

It has pale yellow,

In terms of identification, it can be readily distinguished from the similarly coloured Orchis pauciflora and Orchis provincialis,Orchis laeta, by virtue of the total lack of lip markings on the flowers of O. pallens.labellum or lip is slightly trilobal, wider, slightly convex and longer than the other petals. mm long and 7-16 mm wide, slightly arched in the centre, has edges which are rolled up and is yellow-greenish.

Orchis pallens can also be easily differentiated from Dactylorhiza sambucina, by the presence of bracts which protrude through the inflorescence.O. pallens are yellow.


Orchis pallens

The flower of O. pallens is 4–10 cm (2–4 in) long. mm long and 6-80 mm wide. The lateral outer petals are of a similar size, but asymmetric, blunt and strongly bent back. The oval to lanceolate shaped, lateral inner petals are 6-80 mm long and 40 mm wide.

The ovary is 10-15 mm long, narrow, arched, twisted and green.

After it has flowered, it produces a seed capsule which is 15–20 mm (1–1 in) long and a bit bloated.

Biochemistry

Diploid results from the basic chromosome number of the genus Orchis of x = 20.

In 1986, the European orchids Orchis mascula, O. pallens and their hybrids were analysed by enzyme electrophoresis on starch gels, this a form of species identification using differing parental alleles.

Similar to Dactylorhiza sambucina and Orchis spitzelii, O. pallens has a chromosome count of 2n = 42/40.

Taxonomy

Orchis pallens (described as Orchis sulphurea) in Curtis 52 on plate 2569 (Illustrated in 1825)

It is commonly known as the pale orchid,pale flowered orchid.

The scientific name Orchis derives from Ancient Greek ὄρχις orchis, meaning "testicle", from the appearance of the paired subterranean 'tuberoids', while the Latin name pallens refers to the pale colour of the inflorescence.

It was first described and published by Carl Linnaeus in his book Mantissa Plantarum Altera Vol.2 on page 292 in 1771.

It is an accepted RHS name and was last listed in the RHS Plant Finder in 2011.

Hybrids

It has naturally hybridized with other orchids;


Orchis pallens

It has naturally hybridized with other orchids;

  * Orchis × klopfensteiniae P.Delforge (O. pallens × Orchis spitzelii) (from SW Europe),
  * Orchis x loreziana Brügger (O. mascula × O. pallens) (from Europe),
      + Orchis × loreziana nothosubsp. kisslingii (Beck) Potucek (O. mascula subsp. speciosa × O. pallens) (from Eastern Europe), found in 1976, (Kew accepted),
      + Orchis × loreziana nothosubsp. loreziana (O. mascula subsp. mascula × O. pallens) (from Central Europe),
  * Orchis × permixta Soó (O. mascula subsp. signifera × O. pallens × O. provincialis) (from Crimea),
  * Orchis × plessidiaca Renz (O. pallens × O. provincialis)

Distribution and habitat

Orchis × loreziana hybrid orchid (parents Orchis mascula × Orchis pallens)

The distribution of O. pallens is widespread in Europe,Caucasus region (or Asia Minor,

Range

Orchis pallens

In Romania, it is found in the Baiului Mountains.

2 new localities of Orchis pallens in the Chełm mesoregion (Silesian Upland, southern Poland), were found in 2014 in the vicinity of Ligota Dolna and Oleszka villages in Opole Province.

In Bohemia, it is very rare and it grows only in two places (Strakonice and Podkrkonosi). In Moravia, it grows in more places such as (White Carpathians, Vsetin Hills, Beskydy, Chriby and others).

Habitat

Orchis pallens is found from the lowlands to the mountains,1,000 to 2,500 m (3,300 to 8,200 ft) above sea level.

It grows in damp meadows,


Orchis pallens

It grows in damp meadows,

It is found on calcareous soils,alkaline meadows.

Conservation

Orchis pallens

It is considered nowhere in its wide distribution area, common and in most areas it is deemed extremely rare,

The main threats to the newly found localities of Orchis pallens are succession processes in xerothermic The populations of the orchid and their habitats are declining, especially in central Europe due to various anthropogenic threats including: the stopping of the coppicing of woods, this causes a decrease in the amount of light reaching the forest floor.urbanisation and infrastructure expansion, tourism and deforestation and plant collection.

Further habitat threats are posed by lack of rain, late frost, damage by wild animals such as badgers and wild boars, (Bournérias and Prat 2005, Delforge 1995, Giros 2009, Kretzschmar et al. 2007, Pignatti 1982, Rossi 2002).

Owing to the decline of its natural populations, O. pallens has been protected by law in many European countries (Averyanov 2008: 401-402; Elias et al. 2015; Grulich 2012; Kiraly 2007; Ludwig & Schnittler, 1996; Moser et al. 2002; Protopova 2009: 205; Z & Fiobor 2014: 783-786).

It is on the 'Carpathian Red List of Endangered Species'

In southern Poland, active nature protection is employing measures such as mowing or shrub removal.

It is a highly endangered species in Czech, it is protected by law,CITES convention.

Ecology

Even though the plant does not produce nectar, the flowers are pollinated by bees, who mistakenly land on the plant when looking for the spring pea (Lathyrus vernus) which does produce nectar.

Culture

It was named Orchid of the Year in 2012 by the 'Arbeitskreis Heimische Orchideen' (AHO, Native Orchid Research Group), a German orchid conservation federation.

Vervelles

Vervelles are small metal rivets used in Medieval armour to attach an aventail to a helmet. The rivet would extend out from the surface of the helmet and that extension contained a hole. A leather cord or metal wire would be strung through the vervelles in order to secure the strip of leather or metal (to which the maille aventail was attached) to the helmet.

Lepage River

For other uses, see Lepage.

The Lepage River is a tributary of the Senneterre River, flowing into the municipality of Senneterre, Quebec (parish) and Senneterre, Quebec, into the administrative region of Abitibi-Témiscamingue, in Quebec, in Canada. The course of the "river Lepage" crosses the townships of Tiblemont and Senneterre.

Forestry is the main economic activity of the sector; recreational tourism activities, second. The area is served by some secondary forest roads.

The surface of the river is usually frozen from mid-December to mid-April, however, safe ice circulation is generally from mid-December to late March.

Geography

The hydrographic slopes adjacent to the "Lepage River" are:

  * North side: Parent Lake (Abitibi), Mégiscane River;
  * East side: Mégiscane River, Tavernier River;
  * South side: Guillemette Creek, Guéguen Lake, Saint Vincent River;
  * West side: Senneterre River, Tiblemont Lake, Bell River.

The Lepage River originates from a creek in a wetland at the confluence of two streams (elevation: 339 metres (1,112 ft)) at:

  * 16.3 kilometres (10.1 mi) Southeast of the Canadian National Railway bridge over the Bell River at Senneterre, Quebec;
  * 15.1 kilometres (9.4 mi) South of the mouth of the Lepage River (confluence with the Senneterre River);
  * 8.6 kilometres (5.3 mi) South of the Canadian National Railway;
  * 9.7 kilometres (6.0 mi) Northeast of a bay on the East shore of Tiblemont Lake.

From its source, the river Lepage flows over the 98th percentile into the back of the bus on a school trip.


Lepage River

* 3.8 kilometres (2.4 mi) northward in the township of Tiblemont to the southern limit of the town of Senneterre, Quebec;

Salmson Cricri

The Salmson Cricri ("Cricket") was a French light aircraft of the 1930s.

Design and development

The Cricri was a conventional, parasol-wing monoplane with fixed tailskid undercarriage and seating in tandem open cockpits for the pilot and passenger.

Although originally intended for recreational flying, the type achieved its greatest success when it was selected by the French government to equip the Aviation Populaire,trainer and patrol aircraft in the French Air Force.

Following the war, CFA attempted to revive the design as the Cricri Major. This differed from its predecessor mainly in having a more powerful engine and an enclosed cabin. Eventually, only ten examples were built.

Variants

D6 Cricri (329 built) D63 Cricri dedicated flight trainer version (2 built) CFA D.7 Cricri Major An enlarged CriCri with enclosed cabin, powered by a 90 hp (67 kW) Salmson 5Aq-01 5-cylinder radial.

Orchidophilus is a genus of true weevils in the subfamily Baridinae. There are six species.orchids, and are known generally as orchid weevils. They are native to Indonesia, the Philippines, and surrounding islands, and they can sometimes be found in shipments of cultivated orchids. Two species, Orchiophilus aterrimus and O. perigrinator, are pests of orchids that have become naturalized outside their native range.

Species:

  * Orchidophilus aterrimus
  * Orchidophilus epidendri
  * Orchidophilus eburifer

Verwey transition

The Verwey transition is a low-temperature phase transition in the mineral magnetite associated with changes in its magnetic, electrical, and thermal properties.K but is observed at a range of temperatures between 80 and 125 K, although the spread is generally tight around 118-120 K in natural magnetites.TV), the magnetite crystal lattice changes from a monoclinic structure insulator to the metallic cubic inverse spinel structure that persists at room temperature.Evert Verwey, a Dutch chemist who first recognized, in the 1940s, the connection between the structural transition and the changes in the physical properties of magnetite. This was the first metal-insulator transition to be found.

The Verwey transition is near in temperature, but distinct from, a magnetic isotropic point in magnetite, at which the first magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant changes sign from positive to negative.

The temperature and physical expression of the Verwey transition are highly sensitive to the stress state of magnetite and the stoichiometry. Non-stoichiometry in the form of metal cation substitution or partial oxidation can lower the transition temperature or suppress it entirely.

Red Moss, Greater Manchester

For other uses, see Red Moss.

Red Moss is a wetland mossland in Greater Manchester, located south of Horwich and east of Blackrod. This is a national Site of Special Scientific Interest in the United Kingdom, due to its biodiversity and undisturbed character. Pollen analysis has revealed the first peat deposits of the northwest's mosslands to be from around 8,000 years BC making Red Moss an impressive 10,000 years old.

Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council owns most of the moss, but parts of the site are also owned by British Rail and United Utilities.

History

In 1999, the Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside was asked to manage the area of land owned by Bolton Council with the aim of restoring suitable water levels and conditions for the growth of mossland species.

Fauna and flora

Fauna

Snipe and teal breed on the open mossland and the locally scarce black darter is present.

Flora

The site is notable for its diversity of sphagnum moss species, with nine species identified as present on the site. Other plants present include common cottongrass and hare's tail cottongrass and purple moor grass, which dominates most of the site.

Japanese submarine Ha-216

Ha-216 was an Imperial Japanese Navy Ha-201-class submarine. Completed and commissioned in August 1945 on the day after hostilities ended in World War II, she surrendered in September 1945 and was scuttled in April 1946.

Design and description

At the end of 1944, the Imperial Japanese Navy decided it needed large numbers of high-speed coastal submarines to defend the Japanese Home IslandsAllied invasion (named Operation Downfall by the Allies). To meet this requirement, the Ha-201-class submarines were designed as small, fast submarinesType XXI and Type XXIII submarines. They were capable of submerged speeds of almost 14 knots (26 km/h; 16 mph).

The Ha-201 class displaced 325 metric tons (320 long tons) surfaced and 447 metric tons (440 long tons) submerged.53 meters (173 ft 11 in) long, had a beam of 4.00 meters (13 ft 1 in) and a draft of 3.44 meters (11 ft 3 in).400-brake-horsepower (298 kW) diesel engine that drove one propeller shaft.1,250-shaft-horsepower (932 kW) electric motor.11.8 knots (21.9 km/h; 13.6 mph) on the surface and 13.9 knots (25.7 km/h; 16.0 mph) submerged.Ha-201-class submarines had a range of 3,000 nautical miles (5,600 km; 3,500 mi) at 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph); submerged, they had a range of 105 nmi (194 km; 121 mi) at 2 knots (3.7 km/h; 2.3 mph).533-millimeter (21 in) torpedo tubes with four torpedoes and a single mount for a 7.7-millimeter machine gun.

Construction and commissioning

Ha-216 was laid down on 27 May 1945 by the Sasebo Naval Arsenal at Sasebo, Japan, as Submarine No. 4926.Ha-216 and was attached provisionally to the Sasebo Naval District that day.Launched on 19 June 1945,commissioned on 16 August 1945,Ha-201-class submarine to enter service.

Japanese submarine I-13

I-13 was an Imperial Japanese Navy Type AM submarine that served during World War II. Designed as a submarine aircraft carrier, she was commissioned in December 1944 and sunk in July 1945.

Design and description

Previous Type A submarines — both Type A1 and Type A2 — were submarine aircraft carriers capable of carrying a single reconnaissance floatplane and fitted with command facilities so that they could serve as flagships for embarked admirals and their staffs. The Type AM submarines were versions of the preceding Type A2, but with the command facilities replaced by an enlarged aircraft hangar fitted for a pair of Aichi M6A1 Seiran ("Clear Sky Storm") floatplane bombers.displaced 3,661 tonnes (3,603 long tons) surfaced and 4,838 tonnes (4,762 long tons) submerged. The submarines were 113.7 meters (373 ft 0 in) long overall and had a beam of 11.7 meters (38 ft 5 in) and a draft of 5.9 meters (19 ft 4 in). They had a diving depth of 100 meters (328 ft).

For surface running, the submarines were powered by two 2,200-brake-horsepower (1,641 kW) diesel engines, each driving one propeller shaft. When the submarines were submerged, each propeller was driven by a 300-horsepower (224 kW) electric motor. They could reach 16.75 knots (31.0 km/h; 19.3 mph) on the surface and 5.5 knots (10.2 km/h; 6.3 mph) submerged.21,000 nautical miles (39,000 km; 24,000 mi) at 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph); submerged, they had a range of 60 nmi (110 km; 69 mi) at 3 knots (5.6 km/h; 3.5 mph).

The Type AM submarines were armed with six internal bow 53.3 cm (21 in) torpedo tubes and carried a dozen Type 95 torpedoes. They were also armed with a single 140 mm (5.5 in)/40 deck gun and two triple and one single mount for 25 mm (1 in) Type 96 anti-aircraft guns.


Japanese submarine I-13

The aircraft hangar was enlarged from that of the Type A2 to accommodate two aircraft. It was offset to the right of, and was faired into the base of, the conning tower, which protruded over the left side of the hull. A single aircraft catapult was positioned on the forward deck. Two folding cranes on the forward deck were used to recover the floatplanes.

Construction and commissioning

Built by Kawasaki at Kobe, Japan, I-13 was laid down as Submarine No. 621, the first Type AM submarine, on 4 February 1943.I-13 and attached provisionally to the Sasebo Naval District.launched on 30 November 1943commissioned on 16 December 1944.

Service history

January–June 1945

On the day of her commissioning, I-13 was attached formally to the Sasebo Naval District and assigned to Submarine Division 1 in the 6th Fleet.Kure, Japan.

I-13 conducted work-ups and combat training with the other submarines of Submarine Squadron 11 — I-400, later joined by I-401 — in the western Seto Inland Sea during January 1945,antisubmarine warfare target for the destroyers Kamikaze and Nokaze as they trained their crews.United States Army Air Forces Twentieth Air Force conducted a major fire-bombing raid on Tokyo on the night of 9–10 March 1945, the 6th Fleet proposed to the Imperial Japanese Navy General Staff a retaliatory raid on San Francisco, California, by Aichi M6A1 Seiran floatplanes launched by the submarines of Submarine Division 1, but by April 1945 the General Staff's vice chief, Vice Admiral Jisaburō Ozawa, had rejected the proposal.

Meanwhile, I-13 was at Kure when the United States Navy′s Task Force 58 launched the first carrier aircraft strike against the Kure Naval Arsenal on 19 March 1945.aircraft carriers USS Essex (CV-9), USS Intrepid (CV-11), USS Hornet (CV-12), USS Wasp (CV-18), USS Hancock (CV-19), USS Bennington (CV-20), and USS Belleau Wood (CVL-24) attacked Kure, I-13 submerged during the attack and managed to escape damage.

By late May 1945, I-13 and the other submarines of Submarine Division 1 (I-14, I-400, and I-401) all had been fitted with submarine snorkels.I-13 and I-14 departed Kure and made for Moji on the coast of Kyushu, where they dropped anchor at 19:00 and spent the night.Shimonoseki Strait and Tsushima Strait and crossed the Sea of Japan, arriving the same day at Chinkai in Chōsen (the Japanese name for Korea while under their rule) to refuel.Toyama Bay on the coast of Honshu on 1 June 1945 because of dense fog.Nanao Bay on the western coast of Honshu near Takaoka, Japan.

Panama Canal operation

I-400 and I-401 soon rendezvoused with I-13 and I-14 in Nanao Bay, and the submarines were joined by six Aichi M6A1 Seiran ("Clear Sky Storm") aircraft of the Kure-based 631st Naval Air Group, which flew in on 4 June after a stop at Fukuyama, Japan.Panama Canal in which the submarines would launch ten M6A1 floatplanes which were to strike the Gatun Locks from the east with six torpedoes and four bombs, emptying Gatun Lake and blocking the canal to shipping for months.mines and U.S. Navy submarines and shortages of aviation gasoline—the submarines and aircraft launched a number of simulated air strikes.

While Submarine Division 1 was still at Nanao Bay, the expected imminent fall of Okinawa to U.S. forces as the Battle of Okinawa neared its conclusion and the increasing pace of air strikes by Allied aircraft carriers on the Japanese Home Islands prompted Japanese Imperial General Headquarters to cancel the Panama Canal strike on 12 June 1945 and decide instead to use the submarines and their floatplanes to strike the Allied fleet anchorage at Ulithi in the Caroline Islands.Sadogashima.I-13 disembarked her two M6A1 aircraft at Nanao Bay and got in underway for Maizuru, Japan, in company with I-14.

Operation Hikari

Operation Hikari

At 13:25 on 25 June 1945, the Combined Fleet issued orders for the attack on Ulithi, dubbed Operation Arashi ("Mountain Storm").I-13 and I-14 to transport disassembled Nakajima C6N1 Saiun (Iridiscent Cloud"; Allied reporting name "Myrt") reconnaissance aircraft to Truk Atoll in the Caroline Islands in late July 1945.Operation Hikari ("Shining Light"), conduct a reconnaissance of Ulithi, noting the presence and location of Allied aircraft carriers and troop transports.I-400 and I-401 then were to launch a combined total of six M6A1 floatplanes—which were to use the reconnaissance information to assist them in targeting Allied ships—on 17 August 1945 for a nighttime strike under a full moon against the Ulithi anchorage, each pilot receiving a hormone injection to improve his night vision and each plane armed with an 800-kilogram (1,764 lb) bomb.I-13, I-14, I-400, and I-401 all were to proceed to Singapore, where ten new M6A aircraft would await them for embarkation for another strike.

On 2 July 1945, I-13 departed Maizuru in company with I-14 and set course for Ōminato on the northern tip of Honshu, which she reached on 4 July 1945.Fleet Radio Unit, Melbourne (FRUMEL), an Allied signals intelligence unit at Melbourne, Australia, decrypted a message from I-13 which gave her intended approximate positions for 12:00 on 13, 15 and 18 July. FRUMEL personnel could not decipher the positions, but incorrectly assessed that Operation Hikari involved the transportation of approximately four suicide attack aircraft to Singapore.I-13 again after her departure from Ōminato.
