苏联海军的G级常规动力弹道导弹潜艇建成并服役之后,很快便被部署在亚速尔群岛以西以及夏威夷以西海域从事作战巡逻活动。但苏联海军仍然感到G级潜艇的水下续航力受到许多限制,当处于通气管状态下进行作战巡逻时,很容易被发现,难以完成预定的战略威慑任务。 The Soviet Navy's G-Class Conventional Ballistic Missile submarine, which was completed and in service, was soon deployed to combat patrols west of the Azores and west of Hawaii. However, the Soviet Navy still felt that the G-Class submarines were subject to many restrictions on their underwater life. When being patrolled under flue-gas conditions, they were easily found and could not accomplish their scheduled strategic deterrence tasks.
