Scania SBA111 The Scania SBA111 is a military 4x4 cross - country truck . Special Bulldog Allwheeldrive Generation 1 11 - liter diesel engine . It was designed and manufactured by Scania division of Saab - Scania , for the Swedish Defence , who designated it Terrängbil 30 ( " Tgb 30 " ) . Scania SBAT111S is a similar three - axle truck in 6x6 . Special Bulldog Allwheeldrive Tandem Generation 1 11 liter Supercharged dieselengine designated Terrängbil 40 ( " Tgb 40 " ) . Tests begun in 1971 , and Scania was rewarded a SEK 1500 million order in 1975 . About 1700 SBA111 and 800 SBAT111S were delivered to the army , air force and navy , until 1981 , when production stopped , but was restarted 1986 after an Indian order . On Tgb 40s used for towing the 12 - ton 155mm Bofors field howitzer FH77B , the APU of the self - propelled howitzer can be operated by the truck driver with a control unit to the left of the driver ' s seat to add traction on difficult cross country passages . The Swedish Air Force operates 50 SBAT111S as airport crash tender s . The airforce also uses 80 SBA111 with double - cabin with three steering wheels in a special snow blower version , fitted with a Scania 258 - kW ( 350 hp ) DS14 V8 diesel engine to power the Rollba snow blower . The capacity is approx . 30 tons / minute of snow thrown 30 meters . The SBA111 is a forward control truck with a 6 - cylinder Scania diesel engine , a six - shift Scania automatic gearbox integrated with a mechanical two - shift transfer case driving all axles , the winch and optional two other power - take - offs . Due to ample ground clearance , low center of gravity , locking differential s on all axles and automatic transmission , it has very good cross - country mobility . It is fitted with a 87 kN winch . Beside having one more axle and a larger capacity than the SBA111 , the SBAT111S has a turbocharged engine , a 100 - kN winch and a power take - off when a 55 - kNm hydraulic crane is fitted or other hydraulic operated units . There were limited export Finland . The SBAT111S was thoroughly tested by Australia , USA and Canada , but no purchases were made mainly by political reasons . In a minor number , some solo trucks were sold to China , Libya , Mozambique , Iceland , Iraq , and some other countries . The Egyptian army also ordered 590 units in the late 1980s . When India , in 1986 , purchased 410 FH77B Bofors howitzers , they also ordered 660 of an SBAT111S that was somewhat modified for the Indian Army . The Swedish Army then purchased 83 units of the improved SBAT111S and adopted them as Terrängbil 45 ( " Tgb 45 " ) . For civilian purposes , certain trucks where sold when extreme cross - country mobility was required . They were equipped for fire - fighting , sewer - emptying , sky - lifting , highlifting loading - cranes , water and oil - drilling and as recovery vehicles .
USCGC Elm ( WLB - 204 ) USCGC " Elm " ( WLB - 204 ) is the fourth of the U . S . Coast Guard ' s Juniper - class seagoing buoy tender s . She is outfitted with advanced technological and navigational capabilities . She is also the flagship of the Coast Guard ' s Fifth District . Missions . " Elm " is capable of performing almost every Coast Guard mission . Her primary mission is servicing 240 Aids to Navigation between Shark River , NJ and the NC / SC border . " Elm " has also participated in Search and Rescue , Law Enforcement , Marine Environmental Protection , Icebreaking , and Ports , Waterways and Coastal Security Missions . Capabilities . All of the " Juniper " class of buoy tenders were designed with an optimally manned crew . As a result , " Elm " has a comparatively small crew for a ship her size , and she has to leverage technology quite extensively to make the most out of her crew . To this end , " Elm " is equipped with an integrated computer system that monitors all spaces within the ship , and is capable of performing mundane tasks that would normally require human intervention . " Elm " also takes full advantage of the latest developments in electronic navigation and charting . The ECPINS system provides deck officers with real time information about almost all the variables that concern them , and the dynamic positioning system aboard ship is fully capably of maintaining station in anything short of a severe storm . The spilled oil recovery system that all " Juniper " class buoy tenders are equipped with is another unique feature . This system allows " Elm " to serve as a first responder to an oil spill . With the deployment of two booms from the sides of the ship , and the deployment of a bladder behind the ship , " Elm " is capable of skimming up a significant amount of oil on very short notice .

Spider hole A spider hole is U . S . military parlance for a camouflage d one - man foxhole , used for observation . A spider hole is typically a shoulder - deep , protective , round hole , often covered by a camouflaged lid , in which a soldier can stand and fire a weapon . A spider hole differs from a foxhole in that a foxhole is usually deeper and designed to emphasize cover rather than concealment . The term is usually understood to be an allusion to the camouflaged hole constructed by the trapdoor spider . According to United States Marine Corps historian Major Chuck Melson , the term originated in the American Civil War , when it meant a hastily - dug foxhole . Spider holes were used during World War II by Japanese forces in many Pacific battlefields , including Leyte in the Philippines and Iwo Jima . They called them for a fancied resemblance to the pots used to catch octopuses in Japan . Spider holes were also used by Vietnamese Communist fighters during the Vietnam War . The American columnist William Safire claimed in the December 15 , 2003 , issue of the " New York Times " that the term originated in the Vietnam War . According to Safire , one of the characteristics of these holes was that they held a " clay pot large enough to hold a crouching man . " If the pot broke , the soldier was exposed to attack from snakes or spiders , hence the name " spider hole " . On December 13 , 2003 , during the Iraq War , American forces in Operation Red Dawn captured Iraqi president Saddam Hussein hiding in what was characterized as a " spider hole " in a farmhouse near his hometown of Tikrit .

Siege of High Ercall Hall The siege of High Ercall Hall in High Ercall , Shropshire , England took place during the English Civil War . There were a total of three sieges , In each the Hall was held by Royalists ( Cavaliers ) and besieged by Parliamentarians ( Roundheads ) . The final and longest siege took place from July 1645 to March 1646 , when the Cavalier commander surrendered the hall to the Roundheads . History of the building . High Ercall Hall , in the village of High Ercall , was a fortified 13th - century manor built by the Arkle family . In the seventeenth century the estate was owned by the Newport family and a new mansion had been built in 1608 for Richard Newport alongside the older house . Siege . The Newports were prominent royalists and during the English Civil War by Lord Newport ( Sir Richard was raised to the peerage in 1643 ) , garrisoned the Hall for the King with 200 troops . A large earthen bank was raised over the north and north - west curtain walls to provide a defence against cannon and musket fire . Between 1644 and 1646 the house was besieged three times by Parliamentary forces . The first siege caused damage to the nearby church and resulted in the loss of the drawbridge , but ended with a Parliamentarian withdrawal . The second siege ended when the now reinforced garrison again beat off the Parliamentarian attack . The third siege however , which started in July 1645 , proved to be decisive . The Parliamentary forces were now in a position to effect an artillery bombardment of the buildings and , in spite Lord Newport arriving with more reinforcements , the Royalist commander , Sir Vincent Corbet , surrendered on 28 March 1646 . Under the terms of surrender the 212 surviving members of the garrison , were allowed to leave for the Royalist city of Worcester . 40 of the cavalry were allowed to keep their arms , but the rest of the garrison had to leave their arms behind along with the all the other materiel " of which there was a great plenty " . The new building erected in 1608 was severely damaged in the shelling . Only a fragment of the loggia remains as a short row of arches in the garden of the older house . With the loss of High Ercall , Ludlow was the only garrison in Shropshire left in the control of the Royalists , and it fell in May of that year .
