<div dir="auto">Severodvinsk was the base for the first missile
submarine. In the early 1950s, it was still named Molotovsk. This
coastal city had all the necessities: a shipbuild-ing factory, a
base for ground-based missile storage and testing, a submarine
crew base, and, most importantly, an atmosphere that was
“maximally conducive” to our work.<br>
For the first sea tests, seven missiles equipped with the new
naval control system were set up. The testing and launching
ignition systems in the naval Saturn and Dolomit versions were
developed jointly with us and NII-885 and by the naval insti-tutes
MNII-1 and NII-10. Telemetry receiving stations were erected on
the shore to monitor the flight while special ships conducted
observation and communications. <br>
Onboard telemetry transmission and orbital control equipment was
installed in the nonseparating missile payload and operated on a
slot antenna.<br>
The first R-11FM missile launch from a Northern Fleet B-67
submarine built according to the V-611 design was carried out in
the White Sea on 16 September 1955, at 5:32 p.m. Korolev and
Isanin personally directed these tests.<br>
