The generals for the expedition were Gorgias , Ptolemy the son of Dorymenes and Nicanor . Battle . Gorgias established his base camp at the town of Emmaus , along the western border of Judea , while Judas Maccabeus ' camp was located in the town of Mitzpah , north of Jerusalem . Word reached Maccabeus that Gorgias was leading 5 , 000 troops on a march against his camp and was planning to surprise the Jewish rebels in a night - time attack , Judas abandoned his camp and led his forces to Emmaus , to attack the Hellenic base camp that remained there . Gorgias found the camp at Mizpah empty and deserted . The only obvious place in the area to hide was the mountains . So Gorgias and his men scoured the hills for Jewish soldiers . They were unsuccessful . Judas Maccabeus organized his men , to attack the Emmaus camp , into units resembling a regular army , with units of 10 , 50 , 100 , and 1 , 000 . They set up a fortified camp on the south side of Emmaus . Judas addressed his men , urging them to fight valiantly , " for it is better for us to die in battle than to see the evils of our nation , and of the holies . Nevertheless , as it shall be the will of God in heaven , so be it done . " Though he spoke these words , Judas Maccabeus was seeking victory , not death and glory through martyrdom . Gorgias returned to Emmaus , only to find his camp destroyed with the rebel army in possession of the camp and in position against his troops . Gorgias did not give battle after the destruction of his base but fled to the coastal plains with Judas ' pursuing his army . It was considered one of Judas Maccabeus ' most important victories in the war for Judean independence . See also . Emmaus Nicopolis
Foundation Franklin The SS " Foundation Franklin " was a seagoing salvage tug built for the Royal Navy in 1918 but most famous for many daring salvage operations and rescues while operated by Foundation Maritime between 1930 - 1949 . Her many rescues and salvage triumphs were celebrated in Farley Mowat ' s book " The Grey Seas Under " . History . " Foundation Franklin " was built as HMS " Frisky " , a Racia type tug , by John Lewis and Sons Shipbuilding at Aberdeen , Scotland , in 1918 . She was designed to move capital warships , and operate in rough weather . The ship was commissioned in the spring of 1919 , but the ending of World War I ended the need for the HMS " Frisky " . She was used to tow warships to Scapa Flow until being laid up . In 1924 , the ship was sold and performed towing work on the Rhine River and in the Baltic Sea . The " Frisky " was later purchased by a German project intending to tow barges across the Atlantic Ocean to Argentina and renamed SS " Gustavo Ipland " , but the project was destined to fall through . The former HMS " Frisky " then was laid up until 1930 . The ship was purchased in January , 1930 at Hamburg , Germany by Foundation Maritime representative Captain James Sutherland . Brought to Southampton for further refit and inspection , she was registered under the Red Ensign and given the name " Foundation Franklin " . Brought to Foundation Maritime headquarters in Montreal , Canada in 1931 , the tug was further refitted by Halifax Shipyards for Atlantic salvage service . After a few salvage jobs based along the Saint Lawrence River , " Foundation Franklin " established a homeport at Halifax , Nova Scotia for the rest of her career . One of the most successful and hard - working vessels of her type , " Foundation Franklin " carried out many remarkable rescue and salvage exploits . She continued to operate in the salvage role until 1948 , when , during the tow of the vessel " Arosa " a hurricane damaged the ship beyond economical repair . Her bell , bearing her original Royal Navy name " Frisky " , was saved from the scrapyard and used at the Foundation Wharf to summon crews to successor rescue tugs when vessels were in distress . The bell has continued to reside at offices beside the company ' s wharf through successive ownership changes . Today it is owned by Svitzer Canada Limited which continues to operate tugs from " Franklin ' s " old wharf . A plaque beside the wharf on the Halifax Waterfront Boardwalk commemorates her many rescues . The Maritime Museum of the Atlantic preserved " Franklin ' s " bridge and engine room clocks as well as several models and the tug ' s heavy salvage tackle . " Foundation Franklin " was the centrepiece of a special tug exhibit which opened at the Museum in 2009 displaying many pieces of her original equipment and her original bell on loan from Svitzer Canada .

Vršac Castle The Vršac Castle ( ) formerly known as " Vršac Tower " ( ) is a medieval fortress near Vršac , Vojvodina , Serbia . Only Donjon tower remained from the entire complex , but in 2009 reconstruction started , to recreate the entire Vršac Castle . Vršac Castle was declared a Monument of Culture of Great Importance in 1991 , and is protected by the Republic of Serbia . History . There are two theories about the origin of this fortress . According to the Turkish traveler , Evliya Çelebi , the fortress was built by the Serbian despot Đurađ Branković . Historians consider that Branković built the fortress after the fall of Smederevo in 1439 . In its construction the fortress had some architectural elements similar to those in the fortress of Smederevo and the fortress around the Manasija monastery . The other theory claims that Vršac Castle is a remnant of the medieval fortress known as " Erdesumulu " ( Hungarian : " Érdsomlyó " or " Érsomlyó " , Serbian : " Erd - Šomljo " / Ерд - Шомљо or " Šomljo " / Шомљо ) . However , sources for this theory do not identify " Erdesumulu " with Vršac , but claim that the location of this town and fortress was further to the east , on the Karaš River , in present - day Romania n Banat . A Town named " Erdesumulu " was first mentioned in 1227 . A Dominican monastery with the relics of Saint Dominic was founded there between 1230 and 1240 , and from 1255 it was the seat of the comes . The fortress of " Erdesumulu " was built in 1335 as a royal fortress . After the Ottoman conquest in 1552 , the Vršac fortress was used by the Ottomans . In 1590 / 91 the Ottoman garrison there consisted of one aga , two Ottoman officers and 20 Serb mercenaries . Features . Situated on top of the local hill , the tower has a commanding view of the area . Many holidaymakers visit the area to admire views which extend as far as Romania . Reconstruction . At an official meeting held on 4 March 2009 , Minister for Culture assistant Dušan Živković , provincial secretary for culture Milorad Djurić , Director of the Regional Institute for Protection of Cultural Heritage Zoran Vapa , and Vršac Mayor assistant Dragiša Vučinić agreed on the reconstruction of Vršac Tower , to return it to theits former look . At that meeting the fortress was officially renamed from Vršac Tower to Vršac Castle .
United States Marine Corps Combatant Diver Course The USMC Combatant Diver Course is taught at the Navy Diving and Salvage Training Center , Naval Support Activity Panama City , Panama City , Florida . Both of the Marine Air - Ground Task Force reconnaissance assets , FMF Recon and MarDiv Recon , widely use combatant diving . During this eight - week course , trainees are introduced to open and closed - circuit diving ( using the Dräger LAR - V rebreather ) , diving physics and medical aid . Most of the training in combatant diving is done at night . The course provides underwater tactical training and the skills needed to successfully conduct underwater navigation for infiltration and exfiltration . The candidates negotiate long distances in open water , infiltrating by surface and sub - surface , learning to deal with the hazards of a surf zone tangle and simulated equipment malfunctions . The combatant divers course combines lecture , demonstration , and practical application in nitrox charging procedures using the USMC Oxygen Transfer Pump System , or USMC OTPS . Upon the completion of this course , the Marines ( of any MOS that attends ) are given the Special " B " MOS 0324 Reconnaissance Man , Combatant Diver Qualified ( NMOS ) [ formerly 8653 ] . History . The Combat Swimmers Course was previously taught at the United States Navy ' s Amphibious Reconnaissance School , Troop Training Units ( TTU ) s at either Expeditionary Warfare Training Group ( EWTG ) ; Pacific ( EWTGPAC ) or Atlantic ( EWTGLANT ) . It was first formed during World War II to teach selected reconnaissance Marines and sailors the fundamentals of advanced swimming . They were located on both of United States ' s coasts , at the naval amphibious bases , NAB Little Creek and NAB Coronado . By the late 1980s , some combatant swimming courses were taught using the Marine Corps ' s own infrastructure , by experienced Marine combat divers . Because of the lack of facilities on Marine Corps bases , the Navy continued to provide the necessary training grounds for such training activities . The USMC Combatant Divers Course was established in 1993 at the Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center ( NDSTC ) in Panama City , FL .
Kuha - class minesweepers ( 1974 ) The Kuha class minesweepers ( ) is a series of six inshore minesweepers of the Finnish Navy . The ships were constructed in 1974 - 1975 . All the vessels of the class were modified and modernized in the late 1990s . This included a lengthening of the hull . The vessels have a glass fibre hull and are amongst the largest vessels built in this material . They are equipped with hydraulic machinery , and its engines are placed in the aft part of the superstructure . The engines are separated from the hull with rubber springs . The engine power is transferred to the propeller unit ( which can turn 360 degrees ) through two separate hydraulic valves ; in this manner the vessels are as quiet as possible , and it has been possible to completely eliminate propeller axles , which are very difficult to silence and are easily damaged in mine explosions . The vessels are very lightly armed with only a twin anti - aircraft gun and a couple of heavy machine guns ; " Kuha 22 " is an exception , as it assumes an anti - aircraft readiness role . It is therefore equipped with a couple more guns than its sister vessels . The " Kuha " class vessels usually operate together with some vessels of the " Kiiski " class , and they can sweep both impact and influence mines . The " Kuha " class will be retired when the " Katanpää " class mine countermeasure vessels enter active service .
