Rocket Cruisers of Strategic Purpose”] STRATEGIC MISSILE SUBMARINES [“Underwater OF PROJECT 667A WITH NATO DESIGNATION "YANKEE” “NAVAGA”, 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
