While the battleship had evolved primarily around engagements between armoured ships with large-caliber guns, the torpedo allowed torpedo boats and other lighter surface ships, submersibles, even ordinary fishing boats or frogmen, and later, aircraft, to destroy large armoured ships without the need of large guns, though sometimes at the risk of being hit by longer-range shellfire.

While the V bombers no longer held precedence in Britain's nuclear strategic planning, superseded by aircraft such as the SEPECAT Jaguar and Panavia Tornado, which carried smaller tactical nuclear weapons, the Avro Vulcan would be perhaps best remembered for its conventional long range bombing raids during the 1982 Falklands War.

While MIDI 1. 0 by itself provides a communications protocol which ensures that different instruments can interoperate at a fundamental level ( e. g., that pressing keys on a MIDI keyboard will cause an attached MIDI sound module to play musical notes ), GM goes further in two ways: it requires that all GM-compatible synthesizers meet a certain minimal set of features, such as being able to play at least 24 notes simultaneously ( polyphony ), and it attaches specific interpretations to many parameters and control messages which were left under-specified in the MIDI 1. 0 spec, such as defining instrument sounds for each of the 128 possible program numbers.

While APCO International's current position states that plain speech communications over public safety radio systems is preferred over the traditional 10-Codes and dispatch signals, an APCO Bulletin of January 1940 lists 17 codes assigned as part of APCO Project 4 ; in 1973, APCO Project 14 provided a core list of codes from 10-1 to 10-39 with " optional " codes above 10-39.
