Tench - class submarine " Tench " - class submarines were a type of submarine built for the United States Navy ( USN ) between 1944 and 1951 . They were an evolutionary improvement over the " Gato " and " Balao " classes , only about 35 to 40 tons larger , but more strongly built and with a slightly improved internal layout . Further improvements were made beginning with SS - 435 , which are sometimes referred to as " Corsair " class . Initial plans called for 146 to be built , but 115 were cancelled in 1944 and 1945 when it became apparent that they would not be needed to defeat Japan . The remaining 31 were commissioned between October 1944 ( " Tench " ) and February 1951 ( " Grenadier " ) . One " Tench " ( ex - " Cutlass " ) was transferred from the USN to the Republic of China Navy as " Hai Shih " . Two went to Italy as the " Gianfranco Gazzana - Priaroggia " class . USS " Argonaut " ( SS - 475 ) was sold to the Royal Canadian Navy in 1968 , renamed HMCS " Rainbow " , and decommissioned in 1974 . Some of the class were updated through the GUPPY ( The Greater Underwater Propulsion Power Program ) . The difference is noticeable by the level foredeck and the rounded bow . Museums . Three " Tench " Class submarines are on display for the general public .

Battle of Pine Creek The Battle of Pine Creek , also known as the Battle of Tohotonimme and the Steptoe Disaster , was a conflict between United States Army forces under Lt . Colonel Edward J . Steptoe and members of the Coeur d ' Alene , Palouse and Spokane Native American tribes . It took place on May 17 , 1858 near what is present - day Rosalia , Washington . The Native Americans were victorious . Chronology of the battle . Steptoe departed Fort Walla Walla on May 6 , 1858 . His stated mission was to investigate the murder of two white prospectors by natives , as well as demonstrate a military presence in order to calm the white settlers who were encroaching on Indian territory . Leaving the fort , Steptoe ' s command of 159 soldiers were each issued about 40 rounds of ammunition . The group also ported two mountain howitzers . On May 15 , Steptoe made camp on a hilltop south of Rosalia , Washington . Shortly after , warriors from area tribes confronted Steptoe protesting the encroachment on their territory . Negotiations failed to defuse the situation . On the morning of May 17 , Steptoe led his troops near the confluence of Spring Valley Creek and North Pine Creek . It was at this time the Indians began their attack . A running battle ensued for the next ten hours . By early afternoon Steptoe found himself defending the attackers from a hill overlooking Pine Creek from the east . The Indian warriors withdrew for the night , expecting to finish the battle the next morning . At that time they did not realize that Steptoe ' s forces were down to about three rounds of ammunition per man . Under cover of darkness and a driving rain , Steptoe abandoned his supplies and cannon . He then led his command through the enemy lines to safety towards Fort Walla Walla without being detected .
Battle of Tweebosch In the Battle of Tweebosch or De Klipdrift on 7 March 1902 , a Boer commando led by Koos de la Rey defeated a British column under the command of Lieutenant General Lord Methuen during the final months of the Second Boer War . Background . In order to trap the Boer guerrillas in the Orange Free State , Lord Kitchener built lines of blockhouses connected with barbed wire . But there was not enough water in the Western Transvaal to employ the blockhouse system . Instead , he unleashed nine columns to hunt down De la Rey and the other Boer commanders in the area . On 24 February 1902 , De la Rey pounced on a wagon convoy commanded by Lieutenant Colonel S . B . Von Donop . For the loss of 51 Boers , De la Rey killed , wounded or captured 12 officers and 369 men . In response , Methuen tried to track the Boer leader down . Battle . Less than two weeks later , De la Rey ambushed Methuen ' s column at Tweebosch on the Little Harts River . The British force numbered 1250 , including nearly 1000 mounted men and four guns . Methuen ' s force was largely made up of green troops ; these panicked and fled or surrendered . Only the British regulars in the column fought stubbornly in the combat which lasted from dawn until 9 : 30 am . The British lost 200 killed and wounded , plus 600 men and all four guns captured . After being wounded twice and suffering a broken leg when his horse fell on him , Methuen was captured . He was the only general taken prisoner by the Boers during the war . Aftermath . De la Rey sent the wounded Methuen to a British hospital in his own carriage under a flag of truce , despite demands from his own troops to execute him . The Boers court marshal ed De la Rey for freeing such a valuable prisoner , but after convincing the court that Methuen would withdraw from the war , he was let off . Upon hearing news of the disaster , a badly shaken Kitchener retired to his bedroom for two days and refused to eat . Recovering his poise , he ordered heavy reinforcements sent to the Western Tranvaal and appointed Colonel Ian Hamilton to coordinate the British effort . On 11 April , one of Hamilton ' s columns beat the Boers at the Battle of Rooiwal . The defeat at Tweebosch had far - reaching consequences . In addition to the 68 killed , 121 wounded and 205 captured ( including a general ) , 6 guns had also been taken and the biggest British force in the Western Transvaal neutralised . Questions were asked in parliament as to why Methuen had not been recalled following his defeat at Magersfontein . On the Boer side , there was a feeling that an honourable end could be found to the war . Metheun escaped with his career intact , with the War Office and Kitchener taking the brunt of criticism for providing him with green troops . On 9 April , Boer and British delegations convened to discuss a negotiated surrender , which was signed on 31 May .
