Hobart Gap The Hobart Gap is a strategic pass and road through the Watchung Mountains in Northern New Jersey . The confluence of the two branches of the Rahway River is located here . During the American Revolutionary War , Hessian General Baron Wilhelm von Knyphausen attempted to seize the Hobart Gap , now crossed by present - day Route 24 , in order to attack the American headquarters in Morristown for the British . He was met with successful resistance by General Nathanael Greene , and was eventually defeated by the Continental Army and the New Jersey Militia at the Battle of Springfield . For thousands of years the pass in the mountain range was an important aspect of the traditional Lenape " Minisink Trail " . From the pass , the trail led to a landing at the best place to ford what the Native Americans called " the Fishawack " ( the Passaic River ) . The trail was a portion of the Great Trail and always had been used by the Lenape on their route to the Hudson River and south from their hunting grounds in what is now Sussex County . That traditional part of the Great Trail would become Route 24 , and leads from the pass through Chatham , Madison , Morristown , Mendham , and Chester ; it is called Main Street in all but Morristown , the county seat , which is dominated by a square in the center of its downtown . Route 24 was recently redirected around the old road in order to retain the historical downtowns of the colonial villages through which the trail led . The portion of the original path is now labeled Route 124 .

Type 4 grenade The was a “ last - ditch ” hand grenade developed by the Imperial Japanese Navy in the closing stages of World War II . History and development . By late 1944 and early 1945 , much of the industrial infrastructure of Japan had been destroyed by Allied strategic bombing , and there was a growing shortage of raw materials due to Allied naval blockade s and submarine warfare . Lacking in metals to mass produce hand grenades in the vast quantities that would be needed against the projected Allied invasion of Japan , the Imperial Japanese Navy Technical Bureau developed a design for a cheap , easy - to - make grenade made of ceramic or porcelain materials . Kiln s famous for the production of traditional Japanese pottery , such as Arita , Bizen and Seto were pressed into service to manufacture these relatively crude weapons . There were a tremendous number of variants on shape , size and color , because the design depended on each kiln . Design . The Type 4 grenade had a fragmentation body made of terra cotta or porcelain materials . The grenade was round - shaped with a bottle neck with a rubber cover and a simple fuse . This detonator was no more than a blasting cap crimped on to a five - second length of fuse . The other end of the fuse , which was outside the rubber plug , was covered with a match - head composition . A slip - on rubber cap covered the whole neck , and fuse . A small , loose wooden block with an abrasive composition on one side was contained in the rubber fuse cover . Combat record . The Type 4 grenades were passed out in large quantities to civil defense organizations , such as the Volunteer Fighting Corps , " Yokusan Sonendan " , and to reservist organizations involved in preparations against the possible invasion of the Japanese home islands by Allied forces . They were also supplied to front line combat troops in large quantities , and are known to have been employed at the Battle of Iwo Jima and Battle of Okinawa .

In 1970 , " Minerva " , like many other British vessels including other Leanders , deployed on Beira Patrol , an operation designed to prevent oil from reaching the landlocked Rhodesia via Mozambique , before visiting various ports around Asia and the Pacific . The following year , " Minerva " deployed on her second Beira Patrol which proved relatively quiet . In November 1972 , the Prince of Wales joined " Minerva " . The following year , in February , " Minerva " , along with the Prince , deployed to the Caribbean . While there " Minerva " was involved in a number of exercises , including Exercise " Rum Punch " at Puerto Rico , involving British and American forces . The ship returned to the UK in November . In 1975 , " Minerva " returned to the Caribbean , performing a variety of duties there . Between December 1975 and March 1979 , " Minerva " underwent modernisation , including the addition of Exocet missiles . While she was undergoing post refit trials " Minerva " suffered a Stbd boiler explosion which destroyed both boiler uptakes forcing her to be towed to Chatham Dockyard for repairs . In December the following year , a dockyard crane smashed into " Minerva " during a storm , causing damage to the ship ' s superstructure . In 1980 , " Minerva " deployed to the Mediterranean where she carried out exercises with other NATO warships . While there " Minerva " got involved in the Cold War when she shadowed the " Kiev " , the nameship of a three - ship class of large aircraft carriers . In 1981 , " Minerva " was involved in further exercises in the Persian Gulf . In 1982 during the Falklands War " Minerva " was part of the ' Bristol Group ' and thus joined the war rather late , not reaching the Falkland Islands until the 26 May . While there , " Minerva " performed a number of duties , including escort for other vessels . She suffered no damage during her deployment during the Falklands War . She returned to Devonport in September , crowds greeting her upon her return . In November , " Minerva " accidentally rammed the " Rothesay " - class frigate " Yarmouth " . In late 1984 , " Minerva " returned to the South Atlantic on a deployment that encompassed all British South Atlantic territories , a deployment which lasted into 1985 . She continued service throughout the rest of the 1980s , seeing much of the world , including being involved in a number of exercises with NATO allies and acting as patrol ship in a number of deployments . By the early 1990s , " Minerva ' s " age was showing , and in March 1992 , her long and eventful career came to an end . The following year " Minerva " was sold for scrap .
Declaration to the Seven The Declaration to the Seven was a document written by Sir Henry McMahon and released by the British Government in response to a memorandum issued anonymously by seven Syrian notables in Cairo who were members of the newly formed Party of Syrian Unity , which had been established in the wake of the Balfour Declaration of 1917 and the publication by the Bolsheviks of the secret Sykes - Picot Agreement . The memorandum requested a " guarantee of the ultimate independence of Arabia " . The Declaration stated the British policy that the future government of the regions of the Ottoman Empire occupied by Allied forces in World War I should be based on the consent of the governed . Significance of the Declaration . The Declaration to the Seven is notable as the first British pronouncement to the Arabs advancing the principle of national self - determination . Although the British sought to secure their position by adopting that foremost Wilsonian doctrine , neither Britain nor France was prepared to implement their promises to the Arabs nor to abdicate the position won by victory over the Ottoman Empire . Although it was not a widely publicized document , the Declaration may explain the action of General Allenby in September 1918 after the Battle of Megiddo when ( acting on instructions from London ) he ordered a halt to the advance after the rout of Turkish forces outside Damascus in order to allow the city to be captured by Arab forces , thus bolstering the Arab claim to the independence of Syria whilst simultaneously undermining the French claims to the territory under the terms of the Sykes - Picot Agreement .
German submarine V - 80 The V - 80 ( ) was a 1939 German Navy 76 - ton experimental submarine and the only representative of the German Type V design . The prototype was completed in 1940 in Germaniawerft in Kiel . The 4 man vessel was designed to test the Walter hydrogen peroxide - based turbine propulsion system . Its range was 50 nautical miles ( 93 km ) at 28 knots ( 52 km / h ) . The only earlier attempt to use a chemical reaction based air - independent propulsion system was in the Spanish submarine the " Ictineo II " . This midget submarine led to the design of the German Type XVII submarine .
