USN:
Damage caused by a North Korean artillery shell to battleship USS Wisconsin March 15, 1952
WISCONSIN received the first direct hit in her two-war history when one of four 155mm shells fired by enemy shore batteries hit her deck on the 02 level, just outside the gun shield of the starboard 40mm gun mount which caused little damage but injured three men. Almost as if the victim of a personal affront, WISCONSIN subsequently blasted that battery to oblivion with a 16-inch salvo before continuing her mission.

Imperial Germany:
Minelaying submarine SM UC-5 is displayed in New York's Central Park to help fund Allied efforts during WWI as part of the “U-Buy-A-Bond” campaign on Liberty Day, New York, NY, Oct 25th, 1917
SM UC-5 was a German Type UC I minelayer submarine or U-boat in the German Imperial Navy (German: Kaiserliche Marine) during World War I. The U-boat had been ordered by November 1914 and was launched on 13 June 1915. She was commissioned into the German Imperial Navy on 19 June 1915 as SM UC-5. She served in World War I under the command of Herbert Pustkuchen (June - December 1915) and Ulrich Mohrbutter (December 1915 - April 1916). She ran aground and was abandoned but recovered by the Allies and displayed for propaganda purposes.

On the 31st of October marks the celebration of the thirty-eighth anniversary of the ARC “Almirante Padilla” Missile Frigate, a strategic unit of the Colombian Armada (Navy), who over time has defended and protected the maritime interests of the Nation, providing peace and tranquility to Colombians. This Unit that bears the name of our Naval Hero, has sailed more than 493,778 nautical miles (distance equivalent to more than 19 times the circumference of the earth) fulfilling multiple national and international operations. Congratulations to all its crew that always reflects professionalism, dedication and dedication to guarantee the Sovereignty of Colombia!
