Pollsmoor Prison. Here, the ANC leader Nelson Mandela got infected by tuberculosis, and was executed on 1985. When the riots on Cape Town during the South African Wars sparked a rebellion on Pollsmoor Prison, ANC members and anti-apartheid activists who were imprisoned tried to flee the prison, but they were executed by the Cape Town white/boer militias that later would became the RZA Union Defence Force. After the invasion of the RZA, the ANC and the United Democratic Front (UDF) would get legalized, and a plaque outside the prison could be add by the ANC resistance leaders. The same prison became the scenario for the trials against the RZA dictatorship, described to being similar to the Nuremberg Trials

(I think that a riot on Cape Town and a mutiny it´s better than have the remnants of the Republic of South Africa to spend planes to kill any rebels if their have huge rebellions of any faction there)

Type 092 submarine (NATO: Xia-class SSBN) of the People's Liberation Army Navy Submarine Force. Launched in April 1981, the first Xia-class SSBN was commissioned as the Changzheng 6 (406) in August 1983, about a month after Doomsday. However, it was not yet armed with nuclear missiles. Changzheng 6 was one of the casualties of Doomsday as it was in port in Qingdao Naval Base.
