Battle of Walkerton The Battle of Walkerton was an engagement of the American Civil War . It occurred March 2 , 1864 , in Walkerton , King and Queen County , Virginia during the campaign known as the Kilpatrick - Dahlgren Raid or the Dahlgren Affair . The campaign started with Brig . Gen . Hugh Judson Kilpatrick leaving Stevensburg on February 28 with 4 , 000 men , intending to raid Richmond . The force rode along the Virginia Central Railroad tearing up track , while an advance force was sent south along the James River . The plan was that the advance force , led by Col . Ulric Dahlgren , son of Rear admiral John Dahlgren , should penetrate Richmond ' s defenses from the rear , and release prisoners at Belle Isle . Yet , when Kilpatrick reached Richmond on March 1 , Dahlgren had not yet arrived . Kilpatrick had to withdraw because he was under pursuit by Confederate cavalry , led by Maj . Gen . Wade Hampton . Hampton caught up with Kilpatrick near Old Church on March 2 , but the Federals were able to take refuge with elements of Butler ' s command at New Kent Court House . Meanwhile , Dahlgren had found himself unable to penetrate Richmond ' s defenses , and tried to escape northwards . The group became separated , and on March 2 , Dahlgren , along with about 100 men , was ambushed by a detachment of the 9th Virginia Cavalry and Home Guards in King and Queen County near Walkerton . Dahlgren was killed and most of the men were captured . The gravest implications of the raid came as a result of papers found on Dahlgren ’ s body . The papers allegedly contained an official Union order to burn Richmond and assassinate Jefferson Davis and his cabinet . Meade , Kilpatrick , and Lincoln all disavowed any knowledge of the Dahlgren Papers , and their authenticity has been disputed . At the time , however , the affair caused a great public outcry among Southerners , who accused the North of initiating " a war of extermination . "

Tuas Naval Base Tuas Naval Base ( TNB ) is the second naval base in the history of the Republic of Singapore Navy ( RSN ) . Located at the western tip of Singapore , it occupies 0 . 28 km² ( 0 . 11 sq mi ) of land . It was officially opened on 2 September 1994 by Goh Chok Tong , the second prime minister of Singapore . For about two decades , Brani Naval Base was the RSN ' s only base . An expansion of the fleet in the early 1980s meant that more space was needed for the fleet and its shore infrastructure . However , this was not possible as the land around Brani was reserved for use by the port authority to develop container facilities . As a result , Tuas was selected as the site for a second naval base . Better utilisation of space at TNB resulted in two and a half times more berthing space than Brani , even though TNB only has a shoreline of 850 m ( 0 . 5 mi ) . Provision was also made for recreational facilities . Automation was incorporated into the design of TNB to reduce manpower requirements , such as mechanical ramps for the loading and unloading of vehicles and an automatic storage and retrieval system . It also has a floating dock which can lift 600 tonnes and transfer a ship from sea to land to facilitate repairs and maintenance . Currently , the missile corvettes , patrol vessels and mine counter - measures vessels are based at TNB .
