Battle of Ezra Church The Battle of Ezra Church , also known as the Battle of Ezra Chapel and the Battle of the Poor House was fought on July 28 , 1864 , in Fulton County , Georgia , during the American Civil War . The battle was part of the Atlanta Campaign , which featured Maj . Gen . William T . Sherman ' s Union Army of the Tennessee against the Army of Tennessee , commanded by Lt . Gen . John B . Hood , which was defending the Confederate stronghold of Atlanta , Georgia . Battle . Sherman ' s army stretched in an inverted U around the northern defenses of Atlanta . Sherman decided to cut off the railroad supply lines from Macon , Georgia , into Atlanta , thus forcing the defending army to withdraw without a direct assault . To accomplish this goal , Sherman commanded his easternmost army , under Maj . Gen . Oliver O . Howard , north and west around the rest of the Union lines to the far western side of Atlanta where the railroad entered the city . Hood , anticipating Sherman ' s maneuver , moved his troops out to oppose the Union army . Hood planned to intercept them and catch them completely by surprise . Although Hood ' s Confederate troops were outnumbered by the main Union army , he calculated that a surprise attack against an isolated portion of the enemy could succeed . The armies met on the afternoon of July 28 at a chapel called Ezra Church . Unfortunately for Hood , there was no surprise for Howard , who had predicted such a maneuver based on his knowledge of Hood from their time together at West Point before the war . His troops were already waiting in their trenches when Hood reached them . The Confederate army attacked , but fell back before the Union army ' s improvised breastwork of logs and rails . The rebels were defeated , although they managed to stop Howard from reaching the railroad line . In all , about 3 , 642 men were casualties ; 3 , 000 on the Confederate side and 642 on the Union side . Among the wounded was general Alexander P . Stewart , who led a corps under Hood . Another notable participant was Ernest R . Torgler , a 24 - year old Union Color Sergeant who was later awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his action during the battle . Torgler saved the life of his commanding officer , Major Hipp . His citation reads " At great hazard of his life he saved his commanding officer , then badly wounded , from capture " See 37th Ohio Infantry .
Fall of Philadelphia The Fall of Philadelphia marked the fall of the last independent Christian Greek settlement in western Asia Minor to the Muslim Turks of the Ottoman Sultanate . Ironically , the besieging army included a contingent from the Byzantine Empire , which was a vassal of the Ottomans . Prior to its fall , the city had evaded the fate of her neighbours by paying tribute to the numerous fanatical ghazis , whose bands robbed and pillaged any who did not pay protection money ( " Jizya " ) , although the city was not officially under Islamic law . In theory , the city was under the Byzantine Empire , but cut off by a sea of hostile land ensured that in reality the city remained independent . In 1378 Manuel II Palaiologos promised to hand over the city of Philadelphia to the Turks in return for the Ottoman Sultan ' s aid in a disastrous Byzantine civil war . However , the Philadelphians appeared to have refused surrender , since it was not until 1390 that Bayezid summoned the two leaders of the civil war , John VII and Manuel II and ordered them to accompany the besieging force . The city was taken by the Turks that year .
Response Boat – Medium The Response Boat – Medium ( RB - M ) is a utility boat used by the United States Coast Guard . It is intended as a replacement for the Coast Guard ' s fleet of utility boat s ( UTB ) , which have been in use by the Coast Guard since the 1970s . The Coast Guard plans to acquire 170 of these RB - Ms over a 6 – 10 year period . The boats will be built by Kvichak Marine Industries of Kent , Washington and Marinette Marine Corporation of Marinette , Wisconsin . According to the US Coast Guard , " While primarily a Search and Rescue ( SAR ) asset when the 41 ' UTB was first fielded , the evolution of missions has increased the requirement to perform many missions including Recreational Boating Safety ( RBS ) , Marine Environmental Protection ( MEP ) , Enforcement of Laws and Treaties ( ELT ) , Ports , Waterways , and Coastal Security ( PWCS ) and Defense Operations ( DO ) , including those traditional missions associated with Homeland Security . " In August 2010 the US government donated three boats for drug interdiction to Albania , where they are known as the Archangel class . General characteristics . The boat has a deep - V , double chine hull , which provides a balance of performance and stability . The vessel is self - righting if it capsizes in rough seas . Below the pilot house are six compartments : Hull numbering . In keeping with standard USCG practice , boats of this size have hull numbers and are not named . This type of boat has a hull number beginning with the length of the boat ( 45 ′ ) and then a sequential number . In the case of the RB - M boats , the hull numbers begin with 601 . Thus the first boat will be RB - M 45601 . The Albanian boats are called Archangel 01 , 02 and 03 . Boats . ! Boat ! ! Station ! ! Delivery Date } } Sources :
