Charlie-I SSGNs were armed with P-70 Ametist/SS-N-7 Starbright SLCMs housed in two rows of four missile tubes on each side of the bow & outside the pressure hull as well as 4x533mm & 2x400mm torpedo tubes capable to launch variety of torpedoes & decoys.

Dégradation alarmante des #infrastructures routières en #France : 30 % des accidents mortels sur la route sont causés par des défauts de voiries. Un mauvais état qui se généralise et coûte de plus en plus cher aux contribuables. caradisiac.com/l-etat-des-rou…

Les routes françaises sont de + en + en mauvais état selon le rapport de l’ONISR (Observatoire national interministériel de la sécurité routière) confirmé par le classement mondial de l'état des routes où la France est classée 18ème alors qu'elle était jusqu'en 2013 en 1ère place

Do night shift duties pose any risks on health?

1. Large number of people are employed in jobs that require working at nights and sleeping in daytime.
Is it healthy? Are there any health hazards associated with this routine?
Let's look at some of the research on this topic.

2. Type 2 #diabetes :
Night shift work, especially rotating shift work including night shifts, is associated with higher type 2 diabetes odds.
Working on #night shifts for >8 nights/month increases the risk of diabetes by 36%. Ref: doi.org/10.2337/dc17-1…

3. Hypertension: In a recent study, night shift workers were found to have a higher #hypertension risk than day shift workers, which increased with increasing frequency of night shift work. Ref: doi.org/10.1016/j.mayo…

Another #nuclear bedtime story, short 🧵:
1. Russian ROSATOM agency recently announced a plan to recover two sunken nuclear submarines: K-159 (Project 627A/November class SSN) & K-27 (Project 645/November class SSN).

@CovertShores @SubBrief @USN_Submariner @TayfunOzberk @FORONAVAL @Capt_Navy @RSS_40 @HMUboff @The_Lookout_N @R_P_one 2. K-159 was one of 12 Project 627A class SSNs - a slightly modified Project 627 Kit, that produced the first Soviet nuclear submarine Leninskiy Komsomol K-3.
Assigned to the Northern Fleet, K-159 was laid down at SEVMASH shipyard in 1962 & commissioned a year later.

@CovertShores @SubBrief @USN_Submariner @TayfunOzberk @FORONAVAL @Capt_Navy @RSS_40 @HMUboff @The_Lookout_N @R_P_one 3. K-159 was finally decommissioned in 1989 & laid up in Gremikha naval base with both of her VM-A reactors not defuelled for the next 14 years, awaiting disposal, with little to no maintenance whatsoever. The hull of the submarine deteriorated extremely over the years...
