While engaged in heavy fighting in the Kerch Peninsula in December , and with Soviet landings both at the tip of the Kerch Peninsula and at Feodosiya , the 42nd Corps commander , General von Sponeck gave the order to pull back . This order was countermanded by the 11th Army commander , von Manstein , but since von Sponeck had already disassembled his wireless set , the order to hold ground was not received . The 46th Infantry Division avoided encirclement and eventually helped stem the tide of the Red Army landings at Feodosiya . General von Sponeck was dismissed and subject to a trial in which Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring oversaw the proceedings . General von Sponeck was sentenced to death but this order was commuted by Adolf Hitler and reduced to seven years imprisonment . When Feldmarschall von Reichenau took command of Army Group South , he relayed a message to the divisional commander , Lieutenant - General Himer which read " Because of its slack reaction to the Russian landing on the Kerch Peninsula , as well as its precipitate withdrawal from the peninsula , I hereby declare 46th Division forfeit of soldierly honour . Decorations and promotions are in abeyance until countermanded . Signed : von Reichenau , Feldmarschall " .

Archer - class submarine The Archer class submarines are the newest class of diesel - electric submarine s in active service with the Republic of Singapore Navy ( RSN ) . Originally launched as the Swedish Navy Västergötland class submarine s HMS " Hälsingland " and HMS " Västergötland " in 1986 and 1987 , the two submarines were sold to Singapore in November 2005 and relaunched in June 2009 and October 2010 respectively after extensive modernisation by Kockums , which included a refit to " Södermanland " class standards , the insertion of a new hull section with an air independent propulsion system , and additional climatisation for use in tropical waters . History . Singapore ' s Ministry of Defence ( MINDEF ) signed an agreement with Kockums for the supply of two " Archer " class ( formerly " Västergötland " class ) submarines to the RSN on 4 November 2005 . More than 20 years old and previously in reserve with the Swedish Navy , the submarines will be transferred to the RSN on completion of the modernisation and conversion for operation in tropical waters . RSS " Archer " was launched on 16 June 2009 . RSS " Archer " has undergone sea trials following its launch and is now operational . The second submarine , RSS " Swordsman " , was launched on 20 October 2010 . The " Archer " class submarines are expected to enter service from 2010 and may replace some of the " Challenger " class submarines . Design and construction . The " Archer " class submarines were designed and built by Kockums AB as single - hull , double compartment submarines optimised to reduce noise and magnetic signature . The two pressure - tight compartments also enhance safety and survivability of the crew . The submarines were designed to operate in the shallow waters of the Baltic Sea and are therefore also optimised for operation in Singapore waters , which have similar depth profiles . The " Archer " class submarines are also equipped with Stirling AIP engines . This enables the submarines to have longer submerged endurance and lower noise signature , enhancing the stealth capability of the submarines . The advanced sonar system allows the submarines to detect contacts at a further distance , while the torpedo system has a better target acquisition capability , which allows the submarines to engage contacts at a further range .
Greek submarine Xifias ( 1911 ) Xifias ( , " swordfish " ) was a Greek submarine ( actually called a " submersible " , " καταδυόμενον " , according to the then current French terminology ) which served during World War I . It was the third submarine to enter service in the Greek navy , and the second and last vessel of the " Delfin " class . It was taken over by the French in 1916 , and decommissioned in 1920 without seeing action . History . Along with its sister ship " Delfin " , the " Xifias " was ordered in 1910 from the Toulon shipyards in France . It was delivered to the Royal Hellenic Navy in March 1913 , shortly after the end of the First Balkan War . It was thus unable to participate in any naval operations against the Ottoman fleet . Like its sister ship , " Xifias " was plagued by mechanical problems and had insufficient operational capabilities ; its use was minimal in the years that followed . " Xifias " and the rest of the Greek fleet were confiscated by the French in 1916 , during the Greek National Schism . When the ships were returned in 1919 , the two submarines were in a bad shape , and the following year , they were decommissioned . Tradition . A second vessel of the Hellenic Navy has received the name " Xifias " : the British " U " class submarine HMS " Untiring " ( P59 ) , which was leased to Greece in 1945 – 1952 .

Tung Fort Tung Fort ( or Kathingad ; " difficult fort " in Marathi ) is a hill fort in Pune District , India . Location . It is about 12 km from Malawli railway station and can also be approached from Lonavala . Tung Fort has an elevation of 1075 m above sea level . Since Pawna dam was built , it is now surrounded by water on three sides . One can ferry across in a boat from Pawna dam to its base village , Tungi . Tung fort is also named as Kathingad fort . The word " Kathin " in Marathi means difficult . While climbing , one can experience the difficult challenge of reaching this fort . The fort is conical and has steep climbs with a very narrow route on the edge of the mountain throughout . From Pawana dam , reaching this fort requires a 400 - metre climb . From Lonavala , one can reach the base village Tungwadi around 20 km via Bushy Dam - INS Shivaji - Peth Shahapur - Tungwadi . From Tungwadi village , reaching this fort requires about a 300 - metre climb . History . Tung Fort was built before 1600 CE . It was built by the Adil Shahi dynasty but was captured by Shivaji . It is small , and not able to hold more than 200 troops at a time . As such , it would not have been able to defend itself on its own for a long time . Its shape and structure suggest that its main function was as a watchtower guarding the road to Pune city . The Dhamale family , one of the Deshmukh from the Maval region , was charged with ensuring the security of Tung Fort . During invasion , it served to provide a temporary distraction for invaders . Thus , the major forts of Visapur and Lohagad would have time to prepare themselves to meet the invading army . This fort served as a watchtower in the past because from top of the fort , a lot of area in the Maval region of the Pawana and Mulshi valleys can be seen , and thus , from the top of the fort , a watch on these areas can be kept . Major features . Its sharp , conical peak makes Tung Fort a prominent landmark , even from a distance . It has an oval shape , thick walls and numerous bastions . A steep climb on grassy slopes leads to the ruins of a temple at the summit . A rocky staircase leads several feet down to a water reservoir . From the top of the fort , the Lohagad , Visapur , Tikona and Korigad forts are clearly visible .
