{{Main|Soviet submarine K-8}}
Laid down 9 September 1957. Launched 31 May 1959. Commissioned 31 December 1959.

On 12 April 1970, after four days on the surface, K-8 sank returning from patrol and participation in the large scale "Okean-70" naval exercise.<ref name="PLR1"/> The accident occurred due to short circuits that took place in III and VII compartments simultaneously at a depth of 120&nbsp;m and a subsequent fire in the air-conditioning system. This was the first loss of a Soviet nuclear-powered submarine. 52 sailors including the commander, Captain 2nd Rank [[Vsevolod Borisovich Bessonov]], died due to {{CO2}} poisoning and the flooding of the surfaced submarine during 80 hours of damage control in stormy conditions, 73 sailors were rescued. K-8 sank with four nuclear torpedoes on board at a depth of 4,680&nbsp;m (Bay of Biscay).{{Citation needed|date=August 2009}}. There were also three small incidents with K-8 whilst on patrol before (breakdowns of steam generators in 1960–1961).

====K-14====
K-14 was laid down on 2 September 1958, launched on 16 August 1959, and commissioned 30 December 1959. K-14 entered service with the [[Soviet Northern Fleet|Northern Fleet]] (given to 206th separate brigade of nuclear submarines, based in Malaya Lopatka of [[Zapadnaya Litsa (naval base)|Zapadnaya Litsa]] Fjord) on 31 August 1960. The submarine performed 9 cruises in 1960 (passed 1,997 miles up-top and 11,430 miles submerged), including patrol mission in Atlantic Ocean. In view of reforming of submarine units K-14 was given to 3rd division of nuclear submarines which was a part of 1st submarine flotilla in January 1961. The submarine performed 4 cruises in 1961 (passed 1,356 miles up-top and 1,967 miles submerged).

The first experimental discharging of reactor cores directly in the naval base was made on K-14 in 1961. The reactor compartment was replaced in 1962 because of a breakdown of reactor protection systems.

The submarine performed under-ice cruise from the Northern Fleet to the [[Pacific Ocean Fleet (Russia)|Pacific Ocean Fleet]] between 30 August and 17 September 1966, K-14 resurfaced 19 times at the [[North Pole]] for searches the Soviet research drifting station SP-15 to apply medical aid to one of the expeditionists from the station. Captain of K-14 [[Captain (naval)|captain 1st rank]] D.N. Golubev and commander of the 3rd division of nuclear submarines (chief officer on board) captain 1st rank N.K. Ignatov were awarded with the [[Hero of the Soviet Union]] for that Arctic cruise.

K-14 was given to 10th submarine division (based in Krasheninnikov Bay) which was a part of 15th submarine squadron of the Red Banner Pacific Fleet. The submarine performed 4 patrol missions (160 days) in 1966–1970 and it was under medium repair between December 1970 and March 1973. 10th submarine division became a part of 2nd submarine flotilla of the Red Banner Pacific Fleet in November 1973. K-14 performed 3 patrol missions (135 days) in 1973–1975, participated in training cruises in 1979–1982. On 12 February 1988 a fire took place in a hold of VII compartment during maintenance work in the naval base, the fire was brought under control using submarine chemical smothering arrangement but one man was lost.

The submarine was used for training cruises since 1988 and decommissioned from the Navy's order of battle on 19 April 1990. She was laid up in Postovaya Bay ([[Sovetskaya Gavan]]) as of 2000. K-14 performed 14 long-range cruises and passed 185,831 miles (22,273 operational hours) since placed in service.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.deepstorm.ru/DeepStorm.files/45-92/nts/627a/k14/k14.htm|title=-14 627|access-date=19 December 2014}}</ref>

====K-52====
Laid down on 15 October 1959, launched on 28 August 1960, and commissioned 10 December 1960. Decommissioned in 1987.

====K-21====
K-21 was laid down on 2 April 1960 and launched on 18 June 1961. K-21 entered service with the [[Soviet Northern Fleet|Northern Fleet]] (given to 3rd division of nuclear submarines which was a part of 1st submarine flotilla, based in Malaya Lopatka of [[Zapadnaya Litsa (naval base)|Zapadnaya Litsa]] Fjord) on 28 November 1961. The submarine performed an Arctic cruise that year (passed 2,382 miles up-top and 3,524 miles submerged) and launched four torpedoes to determine a size of an ice-hole after explosion and a possibility to surface there.

K-21 performed long-range cruise between 24 March and 14 May 1962 (51 days, passed 10,124 miles including 8,648 miles submerged), patrol mission to the [[Norwegian Sea]] and [[Atlantic Ocean|North Atlantic]] according to plan "Ograda" ("Protective fence") between 23 April and 21 May 1964, patrol mission in [[Barents Sea]] in 1965, 3 patrol missions in 1967–1970 (170 days total). Three interim overhauls were made in 1965–1966, 1973–1975 (including refueling in 1975) and 1983–1985.  In 1975, K-21 was given to 17th submarine division which was a part of 11th submarine flotilla based in [[Ostrovnoy, Murmansk Oblast|Gremikha]]. The submarine performed 4 patrol missions in 1976–1980 (200 days total) and combat training cruises in 1986–1989.

K-21 was decommissioned from the order of battle in 1991.<ref name="PLR1"/> She lied up in [[Gremikha Bay]] as of May 2000 waiting utilization. K-21 passed 190,831 miles (22,932 operational hours) since placed in service.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.deepstorm.ru/DeepStorm.files/45-92/nts/627a/k21/k21.htm|title=-21, -21 627|access-date=19 December 2014}}</ref>

====K-11====
{{Main|Soviet submarine K-11}}
K-11 was laid down on 31 October 1960, launched on 1 September 1961, and commissioned 30 December 1961. K-11 entered service with the [[Soviet Northern Fleet|Northern Fleet]] (given to 3rd division of nuclear submarines which was a part of 1st submarine flotilla, based in Malaya Lopatka of [[Zapadnaya Litsa (naval base)|Zapadnaya Litsa]] Fjord) on 16 March 1962.

In November 1964 the sail failure of fuel pins was detected during the scheduled repair in [[Severodvinsk]] and it was decided to refuel both reactors. On 7 February 1965, the ejection of radioactive steam took place during the lifting of a reactor cover. Crewmembers were evacuated from the reactor compartment, the reactor cover was lowered down and the naval staff was informed about the accident. The arriving naval specialists came to the wrong conclusion that deterioration of the radiation environment was only a result of emission of high-active reactor water and they allowed to continue refueling. On 12 February 1965, the ejection of radioactive steam took place again during the second lift of the reactor cover because of inaccurately following operational instructions, crewmembers overwatching the procedure were evacuated from the reactor compartment and the reactor cover was lowered down. The uncontrolled reactor with the unclear position of its cover remained unwatched during four hours when a fire occurred. The attempts to extinguish the fire in the reactor compartment with the use of fresh water and {{CO2}} fire extinguishers were not successful so shipyard firefighting vehicles filled the reactor compartment with 250 tons of outside water. About 150 tons of that radioactive water spread over other submarine compartments through burnt-out sealings and deteriorated the radiation environment in the work area significantly, seven men were exposed to radiation. The only possible decision was to remove the contaminated reactor compartment and to install a new one, which was not done until August 1968.

K-11 performed five patrol missions in 1968–1970 (305 days). The submarine was modernized between November 1971 – September 1973 and given to 17th submarine division of 11th submarine flotilla based in [[Ostrovnoy, Murmansk Oblast|Gremikha]] in 1975. K-11 performed four patrol missions in 1975–1977 (173 days) and five patrol missions in 1982–1985 (144 days). The submarine was decommissioned from the order of battle on 19 April 1990. She was laid up in Gremikha as of 2000. K-11 passed 220,179 miles (29,560 operational hours) since placed in service.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.deepstorm.ru/DeepStorm.files/45-92/nts/627a/k11/k11.htm|title=-11, -11 627|access-date=19 December 2014}}</ref>

====K-133====
K-133 was laid down on 3 July 1961, launched on 5 July 1962, and commissioned 29 October 1962.<ref name="PLR1"/> K-133 entered service with the [[Soviet Northern Fleet|Northern Fleet]] (given to 3rd submarine division which was a part of 1st submarine flotilla, based in Bolshaya Lopatka of [[Zapadnaya Litsa (naval base)|Zapadnaya Litsa]] Fjord) on 14 November 1962.

In 1963 the submarine performed a long-range cruise (51 days) to [[Atlantic Ocean|Atlantic]] equatorial zone for the first time for [[Soviet Navy]]. She was under current repairs between October 1964 and September 1965. K-133 together with K-116 (Project 675 submarine) for the first time in the world performed [[1966 Soviet submarine global circumnavigation|submerged voyage]] from the [[Soviet Northern Fleet|Northern Fleet]] to the [[Pacific Ocean Fleet (Russia)|Pacific Ocean Fleet]] via [[Drake Strait]] under the general command of Rear Admiral [[Anatoly Sorokin|A. Sorokin]] from 2 Febr. to 26 March 1966. The submarines crossed the [[Barents Sea]], the [[Norwegian Sea]], the whole Atlantic Ocean, entered the Pacific Ocean and finished the voyage at [[Kamchatka Peninsula|Kamchatka]]. K-133 passed around 21,000 miles for 52 days of that voyage.

K-133 performed 2 patrol missions (103 days total) in 1966–1968, 2 patrol missions (93 days total) in 1971–1976, 1 patrol mission (48 days) in 1977 and 1 patrol mission in 1983–1986. The submarine was decommissioned from the order of battle on 30 May 1989. She lied up in Postovaya Bay ([[Sovetskaya Gavan]]) as of August 2006. K-11 passed 168,889 miles (21,926 operational hours) since placed in service.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.deepstorm.ru/DeepStorm.files/45-92/nts/627a/k133/k133.htm|title=-133, -133 627|access-date=19 December 2014}}</ref>

{{Main|Soviet submarine K-159}}

On 30 August 2003, the submarine K-159 sank during stormy weather while being towed to the shipyard in [[Snezhnogorsk, Murmansk Oblast]] for scrapping (K-159 was decommissioned in 1987.<ref name="PLR1"/>) Nine sailors died in the accident and one was rescued. K-159 was found and investigated by Russian deep-sea vehicles the same day in the point 69°22.64'N, 33°49.51'E (Barents Sea, 2.4 miles from Kildin Island) at a depth of 248&nbsp;m. K-159 performed 9 missions and passed 212,618 miles since June 1963.

====K-42====
Laid down 28 November 1962, launched 17 August 1963, and commissioned 30 November 1963.  Was located next to K-431 during the nuclear fuel accident during 10 August 1985.  As a result of the accident, K-42 was also deemed damaged beyond repair and decommissioned.<ref>[http://lenta.ru/news/2010/07/28/submarine/ K-431 accident update]</ref>

====K-50====
K-50 was laid down on 14 February 1963 (using some mechanisms and equipment from unfinished submarine of project P627A), launched on 16 December 1963, and commissioned 17 July 1964. K-60 entered service with the [[Soviet Northern Fleet|Northern Fleet]] (given to 3rd division of nuclear submarines which was a part of 1st submarine flotilla, based in Malaya Lopatka of [[Zapadnaya Litsa (naval base)|Zapadnaya Litsa]] Fjord) on 6 August 1964. The submarine was given to 17th submarine division based in [[Ostrovnoy, Murmansk Oblast|Gremikha]] in 1969 (17th submarine division became a part of 11th submarine flotilla in 1974).

The submarine performed a number of cruises including participation in naval exercise "Ograda" (''Protective fence'') during 4 March 1965 – 4 April 1965, patrol mission in North Atlantic in July 1965, two patrol missions (161 days) in 1969–1973, one patrol mission in 1978 (51 days), one patrol mission in December 1983 – January 1984. Besides combat duties K-50 took place in training cruises and tests of new equipment also. Refueling was made in September 1975 during a medium repair. K-50 was renamed as K-60 in 1982.

She was decommissioned from the operational order of battle on 19 April 1990 and stored at [[Gremikha Bay]]. Between 3 and 6 September 2006 the submarine was transported by heavy lift ship ''Transshelf'' (belonged to Dutch Dockwise Shipping B.V. company) to [[Russian Shipyard Number 10|Dockyard No. 10 (SRZ-10)]] in [[Polyarny, Murmansk Oblast|Polyarny]] for further scrapping. K-50 covered 171,456 miles (24,760 operational hours) since placed in service.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.deepstorm.ru/DeepStorm.files/45-92/nts/627a/k50/k50.htm|title=-50, -60, -60? 627|access-date=19 December 2014}}</ref>
