bien joué hubert quoique tu m'as fais suer le burnous

salut vic

trés intéressant ton lien on comprend mieux certaines réactions du nord du pays

on sait par contre pas le télécharger

Salut Mike,
Je pense que pendant un moment, j'ai dû placer un lien qui en réalité était destiné au poste "le saviez vous" concernant les serpillères avec le drapeau belge, mais erreur rectifiée par l'image du sous marin

ok vic je pensais que ma connection déconnait

La Marine ukrainienne a retouvé l'usage de son unique sous-marin après 22 ans de travaux. Le U-01 Zaporojhie devrait prendre la mer au mois d'avril prochain.

Mike,
Pour la serpillère, je ne sais pas, mais pour le sous marin, ta connexion déconne, je crois

bof petite erreur de quelques kilométres

INS Arihant (Sanskrit: अरिहंत) (S-73) is the lead ship of India's Arihant class of nuclear-powered submarines.

n'étant pas présent je n'ais pus suivremais je vous en donne une autre

sorry pour l'image

Bonne réponse pour le sous marin Indien Mike

l'OSTMARK


Construit par le chantier allemand HDW (Howaldt Deutsche Werft, Kiel) en 1936 comme navire catapulteur de la Lufthansa, l'OSTMARK (Bremen) fut coulé le 14.09.1940 par le sous-marin anglais HMS TUNA. - Deux moteurs MAN 10 cyl. (1 325 kW) - Pav. DEU.
Remarque : le lieu de son naufrage varie également selon les sources : en Baltique pour les uns, en Atlantique, à 35 mliles au sud-ouest de Saint-Nazaire d'après le site uboat.net. Il semblerait que le catapulteur ait bien été coulé sur la côte française, tandis que celui coulé en Baltique (en 1945) ait été le ferry français CÔTE D'ARGENT (armement Trans-Manche), construit en 1933 aux Forges et Chantiers de la Méditerranée (Graville), et renommé OSTMARK par les Allemands en 1940 (après sa saisie à Bayonne).
