Flotilla at Naval Base Gadjievo. One should note, that in spite of the disrespectful opinions of American submariners, Project 971 showed itself from the best side in the encounters with the newest Nuclear Submarines of the , confirming that correct design solutions had been made. On 10th of October 1990 under the initiative of crew members of K-317 the vessels was allocated the name "PANTHER". It had been given as a tribute to submariners of submarines such as the "LEOPARD", constructed under J. G. Bubnova's project. Subsequently all Nuclear Attack Submarines of Project 971 including the ones constructed before "PANTHER", have received names of old Russian submarines. For today Nuclear Attack Submarines of this project form a powerful force, capable of solving the various tasks connected with the protection of the sea boundaries of .

STRATEGIC MISSILE SUBMARINES [“Underwater Rocket Cruisers of Strategic Purpose”] OF PROJECT 667A “NAVAGA”, WITH NATO DESIGNATION "YANKEE” Strategic Missile Submarines were designed at Special Design Bureau № 18. Chief designer was S. N. Kovalev. Building of the first Strategic Missile Submarine of Project 667A – the K-137 – began on 4th of November 1964 in the building berths of Northern Machine-Building Enterprise. It was launched on 11th of September 1966 years and accepted into the system on 5th of November 1967. During the period 1964 to 1974 a total of 34 submarines were built in shipyards of Northern Machine-Building Enterprise (at Severodvinsk) and the Lenin Komsomol Shipyard (at Komsomolsk-on-Amur) (24 and 10 units respectively). Initially the project was planned to be armed with missile complex D-7, but subsequently the submarines were armed with 16 ballistic missiles type R-25 of complex D-5. In principle the Strategic Missile Submarines of Project of 667A were already 2nd generation submarines with the appropriate tactical-technical characteristics. Even before completion of construction K-137 on 31st of May 1967 received from the heads of the country and armed forces: L. J. Brezhnev, A. N. Kosygin, A. A. Grechko and S. G. Gorshkov. After transfer to the fleet K-137 was transferred to the Northern Fleet Naval Base Gadjievo into the structure of the Northern Fleet’s 31st Submarine

Chief designer was S. N. Kovalev. Building of the first Strategic Missile Submarine of Project 667BDR – the K-182 [ should read: K-424 ] – began in 1974 in the building berths of Northern Machine-Building Enterprise. It was launched on 30th of December 1975 and accepted into the system on 30th of December 1976. During the period from 1973 to 1982 a total of 14 submarines of this project were built in shipyards of Northern Machine-Building Enterprise (at ). Project 667BDR is the successful continuation of series 667. With this project the Strategic Missile Submarines for the first time were equipped with missile complex D-9R with the multiple warhead intercontinental missile R-29R.
