Spähkreuzer 1938 Spähkreuzer was the type of a planned class of large destroyer s or reconnaissance cruiser s of the German Kriegsmarine . There were 2 main designs proposed for this ship class , the 1938 design and the 1940 design . The 1940 design was slightly larger and heavier however it was planned to install a slightly more powerful power plant to keep or exceed the 1938 design performance . Both main designs , along with a few design variations all planned the main artillery layout of 6 - 5 . 9 inch guns in 3 double turrets . One turret positioned on the bow and the remaining 2 on the stern . This was to allow a more offensive retreat as these vessels were designed to scout ahead of the Z plan battle groups . A design designated as 1939 introduced the plan to carry a sea plane in the mid ship area and no torpedo ' s to facilitate this . The catapult was suggested to be mounted between the 2 funnels of the design , however there never seemed to be line drawings , or blueprints that actually reflect this fact , even though the first 3 ships were ordered in February 1941 . These ships were designated SP1 , SP2 , and SP3 , and formally named Z40 , Z41 , and Z42 . The order was placed for the Germania Shipyard in Kiel to build these vessels . In December 1941 , 3 engines for SP4 , SP5 and SP6 were ordered but not the ships . SP1 was the only ship that the keel was laid down and construction started on . During an air raid in April 1942 the ship plans were destroyed and construction was halted . The metal was scrapped and used to build submarines and regular destroyers that were already further along in their build programs .

Spur castle A spur castle is a type of medieval fortification that uses its location as a defensive feature . The name refers to the location on a spur projecting from a hill . Ideally , a spur castle would be defended on three sides by steep hillsides , with the only vulnerable side the one where the spur joins the next hill . Depending on the local topography , a spur castle may depend mostly on its inaccessible location , or combine it with defensive features such as walls and towers . A typical feature is a neck ditch cutting off the spur from the rest of the hill . When the spur is long and narrow , the term ridge castle is sometimes used as well . A long spur castle is sometimes , but not always , subdivided into a lower ward and a more strongly defended upper ward ( or even a succession of more wards ) .
Battle of Ballymore - Eustace The Battle of Ballymore - Eustace was one of the events in the United Irish rebellion of 1798 . It took place on 24 May 1798 after the stationing of the 9th Dragoons , and members of the Tyrone , Antrim and Armagh Militia s at Ballymore in County Kildare near the Kildare - Wicklow border on 10 May . The town had been recently garrisoned by almost 200 soldiers and militia who had been sent to repress sedition in the area . The troops had been dispersed in billet s among the populace as per counter - insurgency practice of " free - quarters " where responsibility for the provisioning and sheltering of militia was foisted onto the populace . During this time a quantity of arms were surrendered and letters of protection issued . On 23 May , 120 soldiers were recalled , leaving a garrison of around 40 - 50 men . At around 1 a . m . on 24 May , the rebel force of approx . 500 attacked the town . As in the attacks on Naas and Prosperous , the rebels sought to surprise and overwhelm the garrison by coordinated attacks before it could react and rally against them . The houses containing troops of the 9th Dragoons and the Tyrone Militia were to be attacked simultaneously . However , the attack on garrison headquarters was miscarried due to lack of coordination and numbers so that the building became a rallying point for the Government troops . Other isolated billets were attacked but some units managed to cut themselves free and fight their way through the streets to the headquarters . A number of properties , including the Protestant church , were set on fire . For two hours , the rebels attacked the strongpoint but without artillery , were unable to take the building and lost many men in the process . The momentum had by now slipped away from the rebels , and a decisive counter charge by dragoon s routed them leaving behind around 100 dead but at a cost to the garrison of at least 12 dead and 5 wounded . The battle led directly to the Massacre of Dunlavin Green , in which fears of a possible rebel attack on the garrison at nearby Dunlavin led to the mass execution of rebel prisoners .
