16 Sept 1943 // HMS X.9, one of a group of midget submarines sent to attack German warships in the fjords of Norway, sank with no survivors about 140 miles north-west of Narvik. The midget submarines were being towed towards the target area by conventional submarines. [1/2]

A beautiful pic of the torpedo boat Lupo. The unit saw intense activity in the Aegean. Her action during the Battle of Crete is rather famous when she stumbled upon a superior British naval force, and despite that, she managed to protect most of the convoy under her escort.

On #September11, fire engines needed to get into the Pentagon to combat the blaze but were too large to fit through the entrance tunnels. Volunteer firefighters from Woodsboro, MD drove 60 miles in a vintage 1955 open-cab fire truck that was small enough to enter the building.

You're looking at what's believed to be one of the first ever photographs of combat as it was happening: USS New Ironsides and a flotilla of U.S. Navy monitor-class warships fire on Confederate defences in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina. It was taken on this day in 1863.
