Autonomous Sailing Boats
An online event, Anahita Laverack will talk about how these vehicles can endure multi-month missions, and how their compact size makes deployment straightforward: a ten-strong constellation of C-Stars can be launched from a small fishing vessel. These robots allow users to harness the power of mass-deployed ocean sensor networks to unlock breakthrough insights in climate and weather research, industry operations, and marine domain awareness.

British Large Light Cruisers: The Town, Fiji & Minotaur classes in action 1939-1945
During the 1930s, with the London Naval Treaty of 1930 placing limitations on heavy cruiser warship construction and characteristics, the US, Japanese and British navies attempted to circumvent the restrictions on heavy cruiser construction by building light cruisers (vessels with an armament no heavier than 6.1in / 155mm) of similar size and fighting power to conventional heavy cruisers with 8in artillery.
