Originally ''78 T'', a ''250t''-class torpedo boat of the Austro-Hungarian Navy built in 1914, she saw active service during World War I, performing convoy, escort and minesweeping tasks, anti-submarine operations and shore bombardment missions. Following Austria-Hungary's defeat in 1918, she was allocated to the Navy of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, and was renamed ''T3''. The ship was captured by the Italians during the German-led Axis invasion of Yugoslavia in 1941. She served with the Royal Italian Navy under her Yugoslav designation, although she was only used for coastal and second-line tasks. Following the Italian capitulation in 1943, she was captured by Germany, and she served with the German Navy or the Navy of the Independent State of Croatia as ''TA48''. She was sunk by Allied aircraft in 1945 while in the port of Trieste. #boat <span style="color:darkgreen;">(<b>low importance</b>): Croatia, Italy, Germany, Yugoslavia</span>

The convoy involved five transports, which were protected from Japanese warships during their trip across the Indian Ocean and along the Australian coastline by several Allied naval task forces. No contact was made between Allied and Japanese ships, and the 9th Division arrived in Australian ports during late February with no losses from enemy action. #NavalConvoy  <span style="color:darkgreen;">(<b>low importance</b>: Australia; Australia, New Zealand and South Pacific military history task force )</span>

The ship was armed with a main battery of four {{convert|24|cm|in|abbr=on}} guns in two twin gun turrets supported by a secondary battery of eighteen {{convert|15|cm|abbr=on}} guns. ''Kaiser Friedrich III'' was extensively modernized in 1908; her secondary guns were reorganized and her superstructure was cut down to reduce top-heaviness.

This cockatoo usually lays a clutch of one to two eggs. It generally takes 28 to 29 days for the female to incubate the eggs, and the young fledge ten to eleven weeks after hatching. The young will stay with the family until the next breeding season, and sometimes even longer. With much of its habitat lost to land clearing and development and threatened by further habitat destruction, Carnaby's black cockatoo is listed as endangered by the Federal and Western Australian governments.

Banded stilts migrate to these lakes in large numbers and assemble in large breeding colonies. The female lays three to four eggs on a scrape.

''Kaiser Friedrich III'' was extensively modernized in 1908; her secondary guns were reorganized and her superstructure was cut down to reduce top-heaviness. After returning to service in 1910, she was placed in the Reserve Formation; and spent the next two years laid up, being activated only for the annual fleet maneuvers. Though obsolete, ''Kaiser Friedrich III'' and her sister ships served in a limited capacity as coastal defense ships in the V Battle Squadron in the early months of the World War I. By February 1915, she was withdrawn from service and eventually decommissioned in November, thereafter being employed as a prison ship and later as a barracks ship. She was scrapped in 1920.

Principally a hunter of privateers, she was also designed to be a match for small French frigates, but with a broader hull and sturdier build at the expense of some speed and manoeuvrability. Launched in 1758, ''Levant'' was assigned to the Royal Navy's Jamaica station from 1759. The ageing frigate was removed from Navy service in 1779, and her crew discharged to other vessels. She was broken up at Deptford Dockyard in 1780, having secured a total of 31 victories over 21 years at sea. #boat

The ship was laid down as HMS ''Hercules'' for the British Royal Navy during World War II, but construction was put on hold when the war ended. India purchased the incomplete carrier in 1957, and construction was completed in 1961. ''Vikrant'' was commissioned as the first aircraft carrier of the Indian Navy and played a key role in enforcing the naval blockade of East Pakistan during the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971. In the later years, the ship underwent major refits to embark modern aircraft, before being decommissioned in 1997. She was preserved as a museum ship until 2012. In 2014, the ship was sold through an online auction and scrapped after final clearance from the Supreme Court. #boat
