	National Geographic: Sub Milestones -- 1st Soviet Nuclear (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The November class of attack submarines was the first nuclear-propelled Soviet series.
		In 1962 the first in the class, the K-3, also called the Leninsky Komsomol, was the first Soviet sub to reach the North Pole, a feat first accomplished nearly four years earlier by the United States’ Nautilus.
		The November class was plagued by serious and sometimes fatal reactor accidents, such as a 1968 radioactive gas leak on K-27 that killed nine.

	November class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The November class is the general NATO reporting name for the first type of nuclear-powered submarine that was put into service by the Soviet Union starting around April 1958.
		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).
		In April 1970, one of these submarines sank off the coast of Spain (probably the Leninets).

	The Soviet Submarine Legacy
		The history of submarines is a fatal one, and hundreds of sailors have died in them through normal accidents.
		A fire on another submarine killed 9 sailors off Okinawa in 1980, and yet another influx of irradiated sailors into Soviet hospitals was noticed in 1981 after an undisclosed incident in the Baltic.
		Fortunately for Russian submariners, the end of the USSR meant an enormous reduction in the size of the fleet.

	Russian Shipyard Number 10 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As the first nuclear-powered submarines were delivered to the Russian Northern Fleet at the end of the 1950s, the yard was modified for docking and repair of these vessels.
		Some early classes of submarines were partly dismantled at Shkval and later towed to Sayda Bay for storage.
		Currently there are six submarines stationed at Shkval: two November class submarines, one Hotel class submarine, one Echo II class submarine, and the two Victor II class submarines defuelled by Imandra in 2000.

		K-8 was a November class submarine of the Soviet Northern Fleet.

		Since only four of her initial load-out of 24 nuclear mines were found in the wreck, the Italian government is concerned that twenty nuclear weapons may lie in the ocean floor in the Bay of Naples.

		The K-159, a Russian first generation November class submarine, was doomed when it set sail, towed by a tugboat from the Northern Fleet's semi-abandoned Gremikha Base, on August 29th, according to the officer responsible for the failed operation.
		The condition of the submarine and the floatation pontoons attached to it seem to be far short of seaworthy, to say the least.
		The submarine was ripped away from some of the pontoons in the middle of a reportedly violent storm and then tilted to its stern before sinking to the seabed.

		That crew kept the pontoons pressurized and the submarine hull pumped out, but during the early morning hours of 30 August they encountered a squall that ripped away from some of the pontoons.
		By 0300 the wreck had sunk in the Barents Sea, 238 meters down, with nine of her crew and 800 kilograms of spent nuclear fuel containing some 20 petabecquerels (600 kilocuries) of radioactivity.

		The Project 627 - November class submarine K-8 was on exercise in the Barents Sea when a leak developed in the steam generators and in a pipe leading to the compensator reception.
		Many of the new crew for the nuclear submarines had received only six months training, training that often was insufficient or irrelevant to the situations they might confront on a nuclear submarine.[608] There was a widespread irresponsible attitude from incompetent outside specialists.

		Despite this, the November class was notorious for its poor nuclear shielding and earned the nickname 'widowmaker' by many Soviet sailors.

	Russian Naval Negligence Sinks Retired Nuke Sub in Barents Sea, Killing Nine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The K-159, a Russian November class attack submarine with a crew of 10, sank this morning in 185 metres of water in the Barents Sea five kilometres northwest of the Arctic Island of Kildin while being towed from the Gremikha naval base to the Polyarny shipyard, where it was headed for dismantlement.
		The submarine then sank so quickly that the crew of the tugboat was able to rescue only one member of the sub’s crew, senior lieutenant and commander of the steering control team, Maxim Tsibulsky, when it sank somewhere between three to four in the morning.
		However, the age of the submarine, and the erosion that occurred during the years it sat in the water awaiting dismantlement, mean that the reactor compartments are not as safe as the Defence Ministry asserts, and that radiation leaks are possible.

	Ming Type 035 - People's Liberation Army Navy
		Therefore, the guiding direction for the development of the first generation medium-sized conventional-powered submarine was to utilize to the full the experience gained in the copying work and also the improved design as well as the existing technical foundation and make breakthroughs in principal technologies such as underwater cruising speed.
		Due to adopting these measures, with the submarine volumetric displacement not increasing very much in comparison with the improved version of Soviet medium-sized conventional-powered submarine, her underwater propelling power and the battery energy was doubled, thus ensuring the submarine's propulsion characteristics.
		Images acquired of the submarine and some of its sister ships illustrate a mountainous geography near the naval base which would be consistent with the north but inconsistent with information concerning the submarine base at Qingdao.
