 Welcome to All Hands Update. This is your week in Navy history. January 9, 1861, the Steamship Star of the West is fired on by Confederate troops, as she attempted to enter Charleston Harbor, South Carolina. The shots fired are the first pre-Confederate shots fired at a northern-based vessel. January 10, 1917, the U.S. Navy ordered the production of the first aerial photographic equipment when the Naval Observatory issued requisitions. The 20-arrow cameras and accessories were manufactured by Eastman Kodak Company. On January 12, 1953, aircraft landings began operational tests onboard USS Antietam, the first angled flight deck carrier. The day and night operation tests were flown by T2J Buckeyes in AD Sky Raiders. To find out more about naval history, visit the Naval History and Heritage Command website.
