ORP Bizon | orphan | ORP Bizon was a Polish minesweeper from the Cold War era, one of nine vessels built under a Soviet license as part of the Project 254M series. Launched on 31 December 1957 at the Stocznia Gdynia, the ship entered service with the Polish Navy on 21 September 1958. Bearing hull designations T-65 and later 605, this heavily utilized vessel spent most of its career with the 12th Base Minesweeper Squadron of the 8th Coastal Defence Flotilla in Świnoujście. After over 30 years of service, it was decommissioned in May 1990 and subsequently scrapped. |
ORP Bizon | Design and construction | Design and construction
thumb|left|Final stages of construction of Polish T43-class minesweepers
Development of a seagoing base minesweeper began in the Soviet Union in 1943, drawing on experience from constructing and operating Project 58 and Project 263 minesweepers. Initial design work was handled by the CKB-370 design bureau, followed by CKB-17, with the final concept completed by CKB-363 in 1946. The new ships were designed to identify minefield boundaries, clear them, conduct control and reconnaissance sweeps, create passages through minefields, escort vessels behind sweeps, and lay mines. An additional requirement was the ability to detect and destroy submarines. Serial production started in 1947, yielding approximately 180 vessels across variants 254, 254K, 254M, and 254A.
In the early 1950s, Poland's State Economic Planning Commission and Polish General Staff decided to initiate licensed construction of these ships in Polish shipyards, including minesweepers. Technical documentation for Project 254K arrived in Poland in January 1953. Designated "500-ton Minesweeper", "Project 4", and "B 4", the design was approved for serial production on 8 February 1954 by a special commission of the Polish Navy Command. Although construction of a prototype was initially planned for 1953, delays arose as Gdańsk's Central Ship Design Bureau No. 2 struggled to adapt the Soviet documentation to Polish standards, pushing the start to mid-1955. Further delays occurred in September 1955 when an order was issued to build the newer 254M variant, but since construction had already begun – and equipment had been purchased from the Soviet Union – it was decided that the first three vessels (which later became , , and ORP Łoś) would be completed in the original configuration.
The technical documentation for the M version arrived in Poland in March 1956, but continued revisions led to additional delays in the construction program. The main differences compared to the K version included enhanced armament (replacing four twin 2M-1 12.7 mm heavy machine gun mounts with two twin 2M-3M 25 mm automatic cannon mounts and two twin 2M-7 14.5 mm heavy machine gun mounts) and upgraded minesweeping equipment (MKT-1 contact sweeps, BGAT acoustic sweeps, and TEM-52M electromagnetic sweeps). The M-version ships also featured a redesigned stern, which extended the hull length by one metre. The original plan was to build a series of 27 vessels based on Project 254. However, changes in versions and the political thaw of October 1956 resulted in the series being limited to just 12 ships – three of Project 254K and nine of Project 254M.
ORP Bizon was constructed at the Stocznia Gdynia. Its keel was laid on 2 September 1957, it was launched on 31 December that same year, and it was commissioned into the Polish Navy on 21 September 1958. The minesweeper was named after a land animal – the American bison (bizon in Polish) – breaking with the Navy's existing naming convention for this class of ships, which had previously referenced birds and marine animals. |
ORP Bizon | Technical specifications | Technical specifications
ORP Bizon was a large, oceangoing minesweeper. Its length overall was 59 metres (54 metres at the waterline), with a beam of 8.7 metres and a draft of 2.3 metres. Constructed entirely of steel with a fully welded hull, the ship was divided into 11 watertight compartments, listed from the bow: I – forepeak and storage, II – chain locker and food stores, III – living and service quarters plus storage, IV – tanks and crew quarters, V – ammunition magazine, VI – auxiliary machinery, VII – engine room, VIII – storage and ammunition magazine, IX – propeller shafts and crew quarters, X – minesweeping gear storage, and XI – steering gear room and chemical/uniform stores. A double hull running nearly the full length of the hull housed fuel tanks, water tanks, and bilges. Beneath the raised forecastle were a paint store, anchor gear, officers' mess, officers' cabins, and petty officers' quarters. Further aft, the superstructure contained radio equipment rooms, a galley, chimney ducts, an auxiliary generator, and the cable drum for the electromagnetic sweep.
The two-and-a-half-level forward superstructure included the commander's quarters, cipher room, radio cabins, radar operator room, bridge, navigation cabin with a sonar station, and, atop, a covered command post with a tall tripod mast supporting radar antennas and a searchlight. Standard displacement was 549 tons, with a full load of 605 tons. Propulsion came from two reversible, turbocharged, four-stroke diesel engines (9D model) with a total output of 2,200 horsepower, driving two controllable-pitch WRSz propellers via drive shafts. Maximum speed was 15 knots (8.3 knots while sweeping). Range was 2,100 nautical miles at 15 knots and 3,500 nautical miles at 10 knots. Endurance was 7 days.
thumb|W-11M 37 mm artillery mount
The ship's artillery armament consisted of two twin W-11M 37 mm L/70 anti-aircraft guns, mounted on the forecastle and boat deck, with 1,000 rounds per barrel. Their practical range was 7,000 metres horizontally, with an effective anti-aircraft ceiling of about 4,000 metres. On the boat deck, on both sides of the funnel, were two twin 2M-3M 25 mm L/112 autocannons, with a total of 2,000 rounds of ammunition. Mounted on the forward superstructure were two twin 2M-7 heavy machine gun mounts with 14.5 mm L/89 barrels, each supplied with 2,000 rounds per barrel. Anti-submarine warfare armament included two BMB-2 depth charge throwers with a stock of 10 B-1 depth charges. The ship had two mine rails, capable of carrying 10 KB-3 naval mines or 16 wz. 08/39 mines. Minesweeping gear included two MT-1 contact sweeps with cutting shears, one TEM-52 electromagnetic sweep, and two BGAT acoustic sweeps.
Electronic equipment comprised the Kremnij-2 IFF system (with Fakieł-MZ transmitter and Fakieł-MO receiver), an UHF R-609 radio, a HF R-644 transmitter, an HF R-671 receiver, a full-range R-675 receiver, an ARP-50-1.2M radio direction finder, a Tamir-11 sonar, and a Lin-M general surveillance radar, and the Rym-K radionavigation system (comprising Receiver Station No. 4 and the Koordinator unit). Additional gear included launchers for eight MDSz smoke candles, an 800 kilogram-force cable winch, two 5.8-ton minesweeping davits, a 10-oar lifeboat, and life rafts. The crew numbered 80 officers, petty officers, and sailors. |
ORP Bizon | Service history | Service history
thumb|left|A Polish Project 254 minesweeper during sweeping operations
The vessel, initially bearing the hull number T-65, it served in the Minesweeper Squadron of the Main Base Water Area Defence Brigade, stationed at Hel. In 1959, the ship made its public debut to Polish audiences during Sea Holiday in Szczecin. That same year, it swept the roadstead off Kołobrzeg. On 4 January 1960, its hull number changed to 605. In the same year, it searched for mines near the port of Oksywie. In July 1964, it participated in sweeping the shipping route from Osetnik to Cape Rozewie, and in the autumn of the following year, it searched for mines in the waters of the Gdańsk Bay.
In the late 1960s, the vessel underwent a general overhaul at the Naval Shipyard in Gdynia. Upon completion, by order no. 010/Org. of the Commander of the Navy dated 24 June 1969, it was transferred – along with the twin minesweepers and – to Świnoujście and incorporated into the 12th Base Minesweeper Squadron of the 8th Coastal Defence Flotilla. That year, it joined its Świnoujście-based sister ships in the Warsaw Pact exercise Odra – Nysa 69, and on 28 June 1970, it took part in a naval parade marking the 25th anniversary of the Polish People's Republic Navy.
In addition to its minesweeping duties, the ship was used for patrol service, including in the Danish straits region, and participated in joint exercises with units of the 2nd Landing Ship Brigade. In he second half o August 1970, it searched for British non-contact mines in international waters of the Bay of Mecklenburg. In summer 1972, it inspected the northern waterway to Świnoujście used by passenger ferries. In subsequent years, it frequently participated in landing support exercises, training cruises with cadets from the Polish Naval Academy, and lengthy patrol missions. The minesweeper's routine service was occasionally broken by foreign visits: Sassnitz, Peenemünde, and Warnemünde in July and to Stockholm in September 1962, as well as to Stralsund, Warnemünde, Rostock, and Wismar in May 1978. In June 1975, the ship took part in an exercise codenamed Posejdon-75, and between 4 and 26 May 1983, it participated in the large-scale Reda-83 naval exercise.
During its long service, the ship's electronic equipment was upgraded. In the 1970s, the Lin-M radar was replaced with the TRN-823, the R-609 radio with the R-619, and the ARP-50-1.2M direction finder with receivers for the British Decca radionavigation system. In the 1980s, the Bras radionavigation system (with a Hałs receiver) was installed. ORP Bizon was decommissioned on 18 May 1990 after over 30 years of service. After removal of usable armament and equipment in Świnoujście's port, the ship was scrapped. |

Eiji Shigeta | Infobox person
| Eiji Shigeta ( November 8, 1877 -?), was born in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. He was once a soldier and later a businessman during the Japanese colonial period in Taiwan. He is well known for opening the Kikumoto Department Store (菊元百貨店) in Taipei City. Kikumoto Department Store was later confiscated by the then Kuomintang government of Taiwan, and Eiji Shigeta and his family were sent back to their hometown in Yamaguchi, Japan. |
Eiji Shigeta | Career | Career
Shigeta was born in Kuga-gun (玖珂郡), Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan (today's Iwakuni, Yamaguchi Prefecture). He joined the Imperial Japanese Army and fought in China during the Eight-Nation Alliance (June 1900), until returning home in November 1900. The following year, he was awarded the Order of the Rising Sun. Shigeta later participated in the Russo-Japanese War. He later decided to go into business instead.
In 1903, at the age of 26, Shigeta came to Taiwan to work and engage in the cotton cloth wholesale business. At first, he worked for a wool fabric wholesaler run by locals on South Street (Dadaocheng area) in Taipei. In 1926, Shigeta founded the Kikumoto Shoten (菊元商店) in Taihei-cho (太平町, an administrative division of Taipei during the Japanese occupation of Taiwan; now known as Yanping North Road, 延平北路) in Taipei City. It mainly deals in fabrics and gofuku (呉服), and has branches in Minatocho (港町, now known as Tainan) and Xiamen. On November 28, 1932, Shigeta opened the Kikugen Department Store in Sakae-machi (榮町, an administrative divisions of Taipei during the Japanese occupation of Taiwan; now known as Jhongjheng District, 中正區), Taipei City. It was the first department store in Taiwan during the Japanese colonial period and one of the three largest department stores in Taiwan. In 1933, Shigeta provided financial support to Nakaji Toshiro (中治稔郎) to build a temple on the eastern hillside of Sanjiaopu (三角埔), Shilin (士林), Taipei City, dedicated to the Mazu (媽祖, lit. Holy Mother of Heaven), and founded the Tianmu religion (天母教). This is the origin of the place name Tianmu (天母). After the end of WW2 in 1945, all of Shigeta's property was confiscated and he was repatriated to Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. Former employees of Kikugen Department Store later formed the "Kikueikai" (菊栄会) and met regularly to reminisce about the past.
Shigeta had seven children, three sons and four daughters. The second son, Sawada Shigeta, was influenced by his father and joined the anti-war movement; but he was later arrested and executed by the Special Higher Police, and his body has not been found to date.
When Eiji Shigeta boarded the ship on the day of his repatriation, his eldest son Heitaro Shigeta (重田平太郎) recalled: “My 40 years in Taiwan seemed like a dream.”
Shigeta was a member of the Taipei Rotary Club during the Japanese colonial period and was also a member of the Taipei City Council. In addition, his hobby was gardening. |

Northern Coast Sundanese | Short description | Northern Coast Sundanese or Northern Sundanese, (SPU) can be shortened to Pantura Sundanese, is a geographical grouping of forms of Sundanese that exist as mother tongues for people living along the northern coast of the Sundanese-speaking region. The area covers several regencies, such as Serang Regency, Tangerang Regency, Bekasi Regency, Karawang Regency, Subang Regency, Indramayu Regency, and Cirebon Regency. Northern Coast Sundanese has a language structure that is more or less the same as standard Sundanese. If we look at the morphological, phonological and syntactic systems, we do not find many differences. The differences are only found in a small part of vocabulary and intonation. Some words have the same form, but different meanings, and vice versa.
In pronouncing sentences, Northern Coast Sundanese has its own distinctive intonation, the difference of which can be heard and compared with standard Sundanese. If in standard Sundanese a news sentence ends with a descending intonation, then in Northern Coast Sundanese the opposite happens, the sentence ends with rising intonation, sometimes the intonation between news sentences is the same as the intonation of question sentences. Another difference lies in several cases of the use of prepositions, if standard Sundanese uses the preposition tina, In Northern Coast Sundanese, it is often replaced with ku, for example, tulaléna tina inten 'the trunk is made of diamonds' becomes tulaléna ku inten'.
Basically, Northern Coast Sundanese does not recognize language levels like in Priangan Sundanese. However, when Northern Coast Sundanese speakers interact with Priangan Sundanese speakers, Northern Coast Sundanese speakers will try to use language that Priangan Sundanese speakers consider polite. Polite language, which in Priangan Sundanese is called basa lemes, in Northern Coast Sundanese is called basa alusan. |
