USS William P. Lawrence (DDG-110) is an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer built by Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding. She is the 60th ship in her class and is currently in service.
The ship is named for Vice Admiral William P. Lawrence (1930–2005), a Naval Aviator, fighter pilot, test pilot, Mercury astronaut finalist, Vietnam War Prisoner of War, a U.S. Third Fleet commander, a Chief of Naval Personnel, and a Superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy.
William P. Lawrence's keel was laid down on 16 September 2008, at the Ingalls Shipbuilding shipyard, in Pascagoula, Mississippi. William P. Lawrence was launched on 15 December 2009, and was christened on 17 April 2010, sponsored by Vice Admiral Lawrence's widow, Diane Lawrence, and his daughters, Dr. Laurie Lawrence and Captain Wendy Lawrence (USN Ret, and former shuttle astronaut).Lawrence's plankowning captain is CDR Thomas R. Williams, II. The ship was commissioned at the Port of Mobile, Alabama on 4 June 2011.William P. Lawrence departed Naval Station San Diego, California, on 14 January 2013 for its first overseas deployment as part of a four-ship surface action group from Carrier Strike Group 11.
The China Seas consist of a series of marginal seas in the Western Pacific Ocean, around China. They are the major components signifying the transition from the continent of Asia to the Pacific Ocean. They have been described in terms of their collective vastness and complexity:
Seas included in the China Seas are:
South China (simplified Chinese: 华南; traditional Chinese: 華南; pinyin: huá nán) is a geographical and cultural region that covers the southernmost part of China. Its precise meaning varies with context.
In the broadest sense, Southern China can denote the entire portion of the country south of the line demarcated by the Qin Mountains and Huai River. Between 1945 and 1949, the Republic of China defined Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Fujian and Taiwan as the "Seven Provinces of South China" (simplified Chinese: 华南七省; traditional Chinese: 華南七省; pinyin: huá nán qī shěng). The term can also be used to denote the Lingnan region; but today, the phrase is generally used to refer only to Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Hong Kong and Macau (historically also known as Liangguang). Defined as such, South China is also contained within South Central China.
The South China Sea is a marginal sea that is part of the Pacific Ocean, encompassing an area from the Singapore and Malacca Straits to the Strait of Taiwan of around 3,500,000 square kilometres (1,400,000 sq mi). The area's importance largely results from one-third of the world's shipping sailing through its waters and that it is believed to hold huge oil and gas reserves beneath its seabed.
It is located
The minute South China Sea Islands, collectively an archipelago, number in the hundreds. The sea and its mostly uninhabited islands are subject to competing claims of sovereignty by several countries. These claims are also reflected in the variety of names used for the islands and the sea.
South China Sea is the dominant term used in English for the sea, and the name in most European languages is equivalent, but it is sometimes called by different names in China's neighboring countries, often reflecting historical claims to hegemony over the sea.

South China Sea - Destroyer USS William Lawrence patrol near Fiery Cross Reef U.S. sends guided missile destroyer, the USS William Lawrence within 12 nautical miles of the Fiery Cross Reef. The first ever patrol close to the heart of the disputed water in the South China Sea. China foreign minister Lu Kang said that the U.S. action threatened China's sovereignty and security interests, endangered the staff and facilities on the reef, and damaged regional peace and stability. It has scrambled two fighter jets and sends three warships to shadow the USS William Lawrence asking it to leave the area. Fiery Cross is considered as the future hub of Chinese military operations in the South China Sea. It has already extensive infrastructure, including its large and deep port and 3,000-metre runwa...

Sir William Lawrence Bragg CH, OBE, MC, FRS was an Australian-born British physicist and X-ray crystallographer, discoverer of Bragg's law of X-ray diffraction, which is basic for the determination of crystal structure. He was joint winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1915: "For their services in the analysis of crystal structure by means of X-ray", an important step in the development of X-ray crystallography. Bragg was knighted in 1941. As of 2014, Lawrence Bragg is the youngest ever Nobel Laureate in physics, having received the award at the age of 25 years. Bragg was the director of the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, when the discovery of the structure of DNA was reported by James D. Watson and Francis Crick in February 1953.

This poetic short film uses Robert French photographs from the William Lawrence Collection held in the National Library, to illustrate the Dublin of 1904 which served as a backdrop to James Joyce’s Ulysses. Directed by renowned drama and documentary maker Kieran Hickey in 1968, the film traces Joyce’s childhood and adolescence, and his meeting with Nora Barnacle on June 10th, 1904. The film conjures up the Dublin of 1904, a city of trams and horse-drawn carriages, of sailing ships and barges on the Liffey, and of lively bandstands filled with summer music. It provides a fine illustration of the Dublin through which Joyce’s fictional Leopold Bloom wandered on June 16th 1904 (the date now celebrated annually as Bloomsday). The music in the film references some of Joyce’s favourite songs many...
In 1965 the BBC commissioned a programme to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Sir William Lawrence Bragg winning the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1915, jointly with his father William Henry Bragg, for the development of X-ray Crystallography. The Nobel Foundation were already celebrating the anniversary and work of WL Bragg by inviting him to speak about the developments in his area of study and to present the first ever Nobel guest lecture in the same year. Everyone was taking such a keen interest not only because the field of x-ray crystallography had spread into all areas of science, creating further Nobel Prize winners and helping to determine the structure of DNA, enzymes, haemoglobin, myoglobin and Vitamin B12, but also as WL Bragg won the Nobel Prize at the age of 25 (still the youn...

The reflection of waves is described and their expansion and compression is then illustrated experimentally. Sir Lawrence demonstrated the effect of waves crossing each other and explains this effect with the aid of models and animated diagrams. The Doppler Effect is described and illustrated dramatically by means of ASDIC recordings. Finally, Sir Lawrence considers and demonstrates the effect when a body is travelling through a medium faster than the waves travel in that medium. From the original programme notes: Sir Lawrence Bragg at the Royal Institution of Great Britain Since 1826 a series of lectures, planned for young people, has been given at the Royal Institution during the fortnight after Christmas. These lectures, 'adapted to a juvenile auditory' to use the nineteenth-century p...
