Opération Chariot : le HMS Campbeltown encastré dans la porte de la forme Joubert du port de Saint-Nazaire avant son explosion - Bataille de l’Atlantique - 28 mars 1942

Dès 1939, la domination militaire de l'Atlantique est un enjeu stratégique déterminant du conflit mondial. Après la défaite de la France, la Grande-Bretagne est tributaire des convois de ravitaillement pour soutenir son économie et son effort de guerre. Quant à l'Allemagne elle impose un blocus maritime pour vaincre son dernier adversaire en Europe. Une stratégie d’attaque en meutes de sous-marins est alors mise en place par l’Amiral Dönitz complété par le déploiement de navires de surfaces lourdement armés et cuirassés.

Pour sa première sortie opérationnelle, le cuirassé Bismarck, a pour mission de déstabiliser la route des convois transatlantiques et coulera le croiseur de bataille HMS Hood, fleuron de la Royal Navy. La marine britannique a dû déployer d’énormes ressources navales et des efforts considérables pour venir à bout du Bismarck avant qu’il ne rejoigne le port de Brest pour réparations.

Dans ce contexte, le sister-ship du Bismarck, le cuirassé Tirpitz, plus grand cuirassée d’Europe à flot stationné en Norvège devient une menace incontournable pour la marine britannique et la sécurité des convois de ravitaillement.

La doctrine maritime de l'époque exigeant la présence d'un port pour effectuer les réparations à proximité des navires qui s’engagent en opération, le seul port de la façade atlantique capable de recevoir le cuirassé est celui de Saint-Nazaire avec sa forme Joubert (Porte-écluse pour accéder au port et cale sèche).

Cet ouvrage a une telle importance stratégique que Winston Churchill décide, au début de l’année 1942, d’en confier la neutralisation aux commandos britanniques sur la base de renseignements fournis par le réseau de résistance « La Confrérie Notre-Dame », commandé par le Colonel Rémy.

Le plan consiste à utiliser un navire-bélier bourré d’explosifs, le destroyer HMS Campbeltdown maquillé en destroyer allemand, contre les portes de l'écluse-caisson et de neutraliser 24 cibles techniques par des commandos à terre. Pour cela une opération de bombardement aérien a pour objectif de distraire les défenses allemandes tandis que le destroyer, 16 vedettes rapides, 1 vedette lance-torpilles et 1 canonnière foncent sur leurs objectifs profitant de l’effet de surprise.

Le destroyer encastré dans la porte de la forme Joubert à 1 h 34 du matin explose quelques heures plus tard à 10 h 30 avec à son bord de nombreux soldats allemands venus l’inspecter.

L’opération fut un succès et la forme Joubert resta inutilisable jusqu’à la fin de la guerre.

Duke Nukem 3D (1996, 3D Realms)

Technically this is the 20th Anniversary World Tour version's GRP running in eDuke32 to fix basically all of that release's issues. No more baffling forced mouse acceleration and smoothing!

It's my favorite way to play Duke 3D now. The new lighting in every map is really, really nice.

georgie georgie georgie

because i absolutely cannot be stopped i've made a temeraire oc

born to aviator parents, georgie probably would've been slated for an egg if she'd been a boy, but she and her sister were girls, and while there aren't many women in the corps, there also aren't many dragons who absolutely require a female captain

but she loves being an aviator and loves dragons, and is on good track to be a lieutenant in some years

of course the dragon plague upends things, and there is a lot of reshuffling and many many aviators are grounded

she sneaks in to watch the egg hatching of an uncertain breed. and the dragon rejects all the potential captains offered to her and instead seeks out the teen girl hidden away, refusing everyone else

the dragonet hatched quite small, and despite a rapid growth period and everyone's best efforts, she ended up even smaller than the average winchester

and thus the two learned to be couriers

which is probably good. since her dragon mostly views other people on a range from disinterest to dislike. she would not have taken well to a crew

and this personality is juxtaposed with georgie's attempts to be confident and easy going due to her new duties, which are more public than she was trained up for

good luck out there you two

also if you got this far, the flowers in the middle are st john's wort, for her last name

x x

#what a nice young man that girl is #my post #my art #my oc #georgie st john #temeraire #after all why not. why not put it in the main tag #fortunately or unfortunately i love girls who dress up as guys. so obviously i had to make an aviator oc #also i havent really ironed out timeline stuff and really settled on her age. im rereading rn and things will probably become clearer #i should take notes.#also her dragon is either from a couple of ferals. or an experimental cross that britain was able to buy as #an egg off of another country that was willing to part from it #the dragon will have a name. im just not committed to one yet #but she's my girl my gal my rotten soldier my little hater #but yeah #look at my oc boy #edited on 3/28/24 bc i realized shortly after posting i put the wrong number of bars on her shoulder #bweh

National Brisket Day

Take the plunge and try your hand at making one of the more complicated but also most delicious cuts of beef, the ever-popular brisket.

The word primal has many meanings, but all of them come back to one meaning “first.” The word speaks of the beginnings of things, from our ancient lineage as human beings, to the animalistic force that lives within each of us. Appropriate to our thinking, then is the meaning of primal when applied to cuts of meat.

The primal cuts are those that are severed from the carcass first before the smaller and less important cuts are removed. The brisket is among these cuts, and while it requires a little know-how to make it properly, when properly made it is nothing less than the choicest of the primal cuts. National Brisket Day encourages you to explore this cut and everything it has to offer.

History of National Brisket Day

Some things take time, and a good brisket is one of these. Brisket is a popular cut of meat to serve as part of any family affair, and it’s long cooking time ensures that it is a big hit when those who know how to prepare it. Brisket is a tricky meat in that it comes from the animal tough, but if you find a particularly well-marbled piece and cook it correctly, it will become fork soft and simply peel apart, making it the tenderest of tender meats. Of course, there are hundreds of variations on how to prepare brisket, including the use of various hardwoods in the grilling process to ensure a nice smoky flavor. Some people marinate them, some don’t, and many like to serve it with a sauce.

The history of brisket dates back to ancient history – practically ever since humans reared cattle. People would sacrifice their animals on special occasions and eat every part of the animal, including the brisket cut.

Texas BBQ brisket is one of the most popular ways to prepare it. Here, chefs marinate the meat for between 24 and 48 and cook it in a unique wood or charcoal-fired BBQ oven. Careless cooking often resulted in tough meat, so people developed techniques to get the most out of the cut. After all, if you could make brisket taste good, it was a great way to get delicious and cheap meat.

In the old days, you couldn’t store meat in a refrigerator. The technology simply didn’t exist. After 48 hours following the death of the animal, the carcass would begin to turn, meaning that the butcher had to cook and eat it fast.

Friday evenings, therefore, became the traditional day on which people would cook up the remaining cuts of meat uneaten and unsold throughout the week. People found that barbecuing meat and adding marinades and sauces provided the best flavor. And so the rationale for holding National Brisket Day celebrations was born.

National Brisket Day is also heavily associated with smoked meats – not just brisket. Again, butchers had to use smoking to preserve meat so that it wouldn’t go off. For that reason, they took cuts of meat, such as rib-eye or tenderloin, and put them in smoke sheds. This process killed off all the bacteria and created compounds that would inhibit the growth of harmful bugs in the future.

How to celebrate National Brisket Day

Well, it’s pretty much inarguable that the best way to celebrate National Brisket Day is to have yourself a deliciously prepared brisket.

So besides cooking a hearty brisket meal, what else can you do to celebrate brisket day?

Well, one idea is to go for a meal out at a local restaurant that still serves beef brisket in the traditional style. Ideally, you’re looking for an establishment that takes the cheaper cuts of meat and then prepares them in such a way that makes them taste far more expensive than they actually are. By going to a local restaurant along with your friends and family, you’re showing your support for everyone involved in the supply chain, from the restaurant owner to the cattle rancher.

Many restaurants make a point of serving brisket. They want to prove that it is possible to make even the cheapest cuts of beef taste amazing. They see it as a challenge. Some, for instance, use special tenderizing techniques and serve it rare. Others rely on slow cooking methods. The great thing National Brisket Day is that there are so many recipe options. Barbecued brisket is a classic, but today’s chefs are so inventive, you’re now spoiled for choice for how they prepare your meat.

National Brisket Day is also an opportunity to highlight the environmental costs of food waste. As people, we often throw away a substantial proportion of the food that we buy. The tradition of eating brisket, however, reminds us of the fact that food was a scarce commodity in the past, and that it is important to make use of every part of the animal. Throwing away food is both costly and damaging to the natural world.

So there you have it: some simple ways to celebrate National Brisket Day. What will you do?
