Also today, Sept 28, is National Drink Beer Day. I found this on another site about its origin.

National Beer Day celebrates the day in 1933 that the Cullen-Harrison act was signed into law, reversing the prohibition on selling beer in the United States. In 2009, a Virginian man named Justin Smith decided to commemorate this historic day, and created his own unofficial National Beer Day.

Oct. 24, 2007: The Navy says its Arleigh Burke-class of destroyers, some of which were built at Bath Iron Works in Maine, need about $59.8 million worth of upgrades to their bows because they tend to sustain structural damage when fully loaded and traveling in rough seas.

[]('https://www.pressherald.com/tag/this-day-in-maine-history/')
A Navy spokesman says defense industry reports of “serious structural defects” appear to be exaggerated, however. The ships are fully capable of carrying out their missions, he said, and the repairs should assure the Navy that it will get the full 35 years of life expectancy out of them.

The bows on ships under construction are strengthened, and those recently delivered are upgraded after shakedown cruises. The rest of the fleet will be retrofitted during docking opportunities, the spokesman says.

BIW built the first Arleigh Burke-class destroyer. The shipyard was unaware of the defect until 2003, a shipyard spokesman says. The ships were built to Navy specifications, but the standards didn’t match the force of actual sea conditions, he says.

The match is patented.

Farmer Joseph F. Glidden applies for a patent on barbed wire. Glidden eventually received five patents and is generally considered the inventor of barbed wire.
