===Fire control and sensors=== [[File:U_461_2592x1944.jpg|thumb|upright=1|A photo of ''K-24'' in [[Peenemünde]], Germany. The Argument (Front Door) radar is at the front of the sail, with the Front Piece datalink above it. Aft of the sail, the rear missile mount is visible, [[elevation (ballistics)|elevated]] to its maximum of 15°.]] The submarines relied upon aircraft for their long-range anti-ship targeting which they received via the Uspekh-U [[datalink]] system. Their own Argument missile-guidance radar (NATO reporting name: Front Door) controlled the P-6 missiles until they were out of range via a datalink codenamed Front Piece. The missiles' onboard radar would detect the targets and transmit an image back to the submarine via video datalink so the crew could select which target to attack, after which the missile relied upon its own radar for terminal guidance. The Argument radar has a massive antenna that was stowed at the front of the sail and rotated 180° for use. The Front Piece antenna was mounted on top of the Argument antenna.<ref>Polmar & Moore, p. 97; Hampshire, pp. 26–27</ref> The boats are fitted with Artika-M (MG-200) and Herkules (MG-15) [[sonar]]s, Feniks-M (MG-10) and MG-13 [[hydrophone]]s and an Albatros RLK-50 search [[radar]]<ref name=fp/> (NATO reporting name: Snoop Tray). They are also equipped with a Nakat-M [[Electronic warfare support measures]] system.<ref name=h5>Hampshire, p. 25</ref> [[File:Juliett-US-Navy-Photo.jpg|thumb|right|A Juliett-class submarine]] [[File:P-3C VP-23 flying over Juliett-class submarine 1982.JPEG|thumb|A P-3C flies over a Juliett-class submarine]] [[File:Juliett 484 sub.jpg|thumb|An oblique photo of a Juliett-class submarine showing the aft end of a missile launcher and the blast deflector]] Initial plans called for 35 submarines of this class but only 16 were built, two - including the lead sub, by the Baltic Shipyard, [[Leningrad|St. Petersburg]] and the rest by the [[Krasnoye Sormovo]] Shipyard in [[Nizhny Novgorod]]. They were commissioned between 1963 and 1968 and served through the 1980s. The last one was decommissioned in 1994. The Juliett class was built due to expected delays in the continued production of the nuclear-powered Project 659 {{sclass2|Echo I|submarine|1}}s and 675 {{sclass2|Echo II|submarine|1}}s, with six and eight missile launchers, respectively. The Julietts were designed after the Echos. {{clear left}}
