The 1.1"/75 caliber gun was an American anti-aircraft weapon of World War II. The name means that it had a bore diameter of 1.1 inches (28 mm) and barrel length of 75 × 1.1 inches = 82.5 inches (2.1 m), using the "caliber" nomenclature common to large artillery pieces.
It was developed when the U.S. Navy Bureau of Ordnance (BuOrd) decided that the .50 caliber machine gun was not adequate for future AA duties:
During the early part of World War II, they were deployed on most U.S. Navy warships of destroyer and larger size.
Due to teething problems that were never rectified, the gun was very unpopular with its crews. It was replaced with the Bofors 40 mm gun whenever possible, but served until the end of the war on some ships.
The guns were sometimes referred to as "Chicago Pianos."
David Fuster Torrijos (born 3 February 1982 in Oliva, Valencia) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Olympiacos F.C. of the Superleague Greece, as an attacking midfielder.
Aged already 22, Fuster was signed from his hometown club by Villarreal CF, but spent four years exclusively with its reserves, helping the team promote to the third division in 2006–07. In 2008, he was sold to neighbours Elche CF, with an option to rebuy afterwards.
After a solid 2008–09 in the second level – he was Elche's topscorer at 13, tied for 10th in the league – Fuster was rebought by Villarreal for a mere €500.000. He received relative amount of playing time in his debut year, scoring his first goal for the club in the 2–3 away defeat against Sevilla FC on 8 November 2009; on 2 January 2010, he added another, in the club's 1–1 draw at La Liga and UEFA Champions League champions FC Barcelona.
In late August 2010, 28-year old Fuster signed for Olympiacos F.C. in Greece for the amount of €1.500.000, rejoining former Villarreal acquaintances Ariel Ibagaza and Ernesto Valverde (manager). In his first season, he won the league and reached the quarterfinals in the domestic cup, ranking third in the goal scorers' chart and leading the team in minutes played.
Juan Manuel Mata García (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈxwan manˈwel ˈmata]; born 28 April 1988) is a Spanish footballer who currently plays for English club Chelsea in the Premier League. He primarily plays as an attacking midfielder and a winger. Mata is known for his creativity, acceleration, speed, versatility, and technical ability and is described as a "creative spark".

Mata spent three years in the club's academy progressing through their junior teams and, at the age of 18, made the switch to Real Madrid Castilla for the 2006–07 season, where he finished the season as the side's second best scorer with 10 goals. In the start of the 2007–08 season, Mata signed for fellow La Liga side Valencia CF, through a contractual clause at Real Madrid. He was voted the team's Best young player, at the end of that season. Since making his debut for Valencia in 2007, Mata had become an integral part of the club's midfield, making over 174 appearances for the duration of four seasons. In the 2011–12 season, Mata moved to England, signing for Premier League club Chelsea in August 2011, for a fee in the region of £23.5 million. On 27 August 2011, Mata made his debut and scored a goal for Chelsea against Norwich City, where he came on as a substitute.
