	Fleet Rehabilitation and Modernization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Fleet Rehabilitation and Modernization (FRAM) program of the United States Navy might be considered the beginning of the final phase in the shift of mission for destroyers from a surface attack role to that of a submarine hunter.
		The ships received a larger combat information center (CIC) and sonar control as well as an antisubmarine rocket (ASROC) launcher, a torpedo magazine, and the 01-level afterdeck was converted to a hangar and helicopter flight deck to facilitate the use of drone antisubmarine helicopters (DASH).
		The DASH flight deck and hangar replaced the after 5-inch double mount which reduced the main surface battery to four 5-inch/38-caliber guns in two twin mounts forward and the 40 mm and 20 mm gun mounts were removed.

	Trends in Philippine Library History - 65th IFLA Council and General Conference - Conference Programme and Proceedings
		During the Spanish period, modern library trends were introduced through the establishment of the Sociedad Económica in 1780, but did not influence Philippine library culture until the later part of the 19th century.
		The roots of the modern Philippine library may be traced to the so-called Age of Enlightenment, which seized and dominated European thought during the 18th century.
		The merging of modern trends and the rise of Filipino librarians consolidated through the initiative of Trinidad Pardo de Tavera, culminating in the establishment of the Philippine Library Association (PLA) in 1923.

		Nevertheless, the consequences of a dismembered Iraq still instills the greater fear and it is precisely this opportunity that allows President Saddam Hussein backed by his still formidable armed forces to reassert himself as the defender of Arab interests against Persian expansionism in the strategically important northern Gulf.
		His slow but certain rehabilitation in Arab ranks was evidenced by the lukewarm support for Allied air raids against Baghdad to enforce U.N. sanctions.
		Iran under the Shah was modernizing society under American influence, and thus moving along the mapped route.
