2007 Saab 17 was a Swedish bomber-reconnaissance aircraft. The project was initiated in response to a request in 1938 from the Swedish air force for a reconnaissance aircraft that could replace the Fokker S 6. Design work began at the end of the 1930s as the L 10 by ASJA, but after the merger with Saab in 1939 it was renamed Saab 17. The wings were reinforced to make it possible for use as a dive bomber. Since there was a shortage of engines the aircraft were flown to their destination, where the engines were removed and returned for use by the next delivery. The aircraft was also made in three versions with different engines.

Another notable aspect of her service was the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.

L 2 H 43 ja L 2 H 143 "Krupp-Protze” (unofficial designation) was a six-wheeled 6×4 German truck and artillery tractor produced between 1934 and 1941 and heavily used in World War II. It was powered by a 4-cylinder, 55 hp or, from 1936, 60 hp Krupp M 304 petrol engine. Its main purpose was to tow artillery, especially the PaK 36, and transport motorized infantry. This vehicle was extensively used on the Eastern Front, during the North African campaign and in France and Sicily. The “Krupp-Protze” was of relatively advanced design. Its fuel consumption was relatively high (24 Litres / 100 km on road) in comparison to the comparable Opel Blitz 1.5 t truck (16.5 liters / 100 km, produced 1938 – 1942). Total production was about 7,000 units.

2007 Tüüp A Ko-hyoteki (甲標的甲型 Kō-hyōteki kō-gata, Target ‘A’, Type ‘A’) class was a class of Japanese midget submarines (Ko-hyoteki) used during World War II. They had hull numbers but no names. For simplicity, they are most often referred to by the hull number of the mother submarine. Thus, the midget carried by I-16-class submarine was known as I-16’s boat, or “I-16tou.” This class was followed by: Type B (甲標的乙型 Kō-hyōteki otsu-gata), Type C (甲標的丙型 Kō-hyōteki hei-gata), and Type D (甲標的丁型 Kō-hyōteki tei-gata), the last one better known as Kōryū

USS Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. (DD-850) on endine Ameerika Ühendriikide mereväe gearing-klassi hävitaja. Laev sai nime mereväe aviaatori leitnant Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., endise Suurbritannia suursaadiku Joseph P. Kennedy vanema poja ja tulevase presidendi John F. Kennedy vanema venna järgi. Joseph P. Kennedy noorem teenis moderniseerimise katkestustega kuni 1973. aastani. Tema teenistuse tipphetkede hulgas on Kuuba blokaad Kuuba raketikriisi ajal ning Gemini 6 ja Gemini 7 pinnal olevad taastamismeeskonnad. Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. on eksponeeritud muuseumilaevana Battleship Cove'is, Fall Riveris, Massachusettsis. Ta lisati 1976. aastal ajalooliste paikade riiklikku registrisse ja määras 1989. aastal riikliku ajaloolise maamärgi üheks vähestest ellujäänud Gearing-klassi hävitajatest.

A PT paat (lühend patrull-torpeedopaat) oli torpeedoga relvastatud kiirrünnakulaev (MTB), mida kasutas Teises maailmasõjas Ameerika Ühendriikide merevägi. See oli väike, kiire ja odav ehitada, mida hinnati selle manööverdusvõime ja kiiruse poolest, kuid mida sõja alguses takistasid ebaefektiivsed torpeedod, piiratud relvastus ja suhteliselt habras ehitus, mis piiras mõningaid variante rannikuvetega.

Following service during World War II, the ship was transferred to Greece and renamed Aetos. Decommissioned in 1991, the destroyer escort was returned to the United States. USS Slater is now a museum ship on the Hudson River in Albany, New York, the only one of its kind afloat in the United States. (USS Stewart (DE-238) is exhibited at Seawolf Park in Galveston, Texas, but located on dry land and USS Atherton (DE-169) is still in service in the Philippine Navy.) Slater was designated a National Historic Landmark on 2 March 2012

2007 Lynx reconnaissance vehicle (manufacturer’s name: M113½ Command and Reconnaissance Vehicle, abbr. M113 C&R) is a United States-built tracked reconnaissance armoured fighting vehicle, which was employed by the armed forces of the Netherlands and Canada. Dutch vehicles were exported in the 1990s to Bahrain[1] and Chile, according to SIPRI 35 and 8 vehicles respectively. The M113½ was developed in 1963 as a private venture by FMC Corp., the manufacturer of the M113. It competed with the M114 but the US Army chose the M114 for production. The design was then offered to foreign buyers and gained the name Lynx when purchased by Canada.
