 November class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The November class is the general NATO classification for the first type of nuclear-powered submarine that was put into service by the Soviet Union starting around April 1958.
These vessels were only armed with torpedoes, although the basic design was modified to create the Hotel class, which carried nuclear ballistic missiles.
Fourteen vessels of this type were built, the first being the K-3 or Leninsky Komsomol (which would become the first Soviet sub to reach the North Pole in 1962, four years after the USS Nautilus).

 Frank's Reel Movie Reviews - K19: The Widowmaker
The tragedy of K19 is only one in a series of Russian submarine accidents dating back to 1961, some of which have involved nuclear weapons that have either been inadvertently jettisoned (without exploding, I might add) or sank with their ship.
While I noticed some inaccuracies of the depiction of submarine life and it seemed to run a bit too much on the Hollywood side of a true-life account, the message came through with a powerful significance.
The submarine is a huge and powerful instrument of war yet it was the crewmembers working together with their hands and minds, trying to avoid a nuclear disaster that would not only kill everyone on board, but could quite possibly launch the world into nuclear chaos.

Sevmorput's principle activities included first-generation nuclear submarine repairs and nuclear submarine refueling,[1] in addition to conventional submarine repairs.[2] However, in 1991, concerns over safety during refueling operations, which usually takes about two months, caused Murmansk oblast officials to halt refueling activities at Sevmorput, located very close to populated areas of the city of Murmansk.
Although the shipyard did not successfully obtain a share of the submarine decommissioning and dismantlement work for the Northern Fleet, management hopes to participate in a project to dismantle conventional vessels.[6] In addition, a portion of the yard has been privatized and accepts work from the merchant fleet when military demands are lacking.[1]
The shortage in wages has led submarine commanders to reinstate a system of patronage in order to meet the basic nutritional needs of the sailors.
