This ship, originally named Okun (Perch), was laid down as the last Sierra II-class submarine in 1990 at the Krasnoye Soromovo factory in Nizhny Novgorod. After the hull was launched in 1992, it was towed to the Sevmash shipyard in Severodvinsk for completion and sea trials.
On March 5, 2003, Pskov was being overhauled in a dry dock in Roslyakovo. The wooden scaffolding surrounding the hull was ignited by the welding work that was done to the ship, and a fire broke out. After 90 minutes, the fire was put out, and Pskov's outer soundproofing rubber coating was damaged. There were no casualties or radiation leakage. The submarine was believed to be operational again from early 2007.
In 2012 the submarine was overhauled again, and returned to active duty in 2016.[2] The refit included a new sonar and replacement of uranium fuel in the submarine's reactor.[3]
