Project 971 has a double-hull design. The robust body is made of high quality alloy steel with σт = 1

Initially, the boat carried only tactical numbers, but on 10 October 1990, the Commander-in-Chief of the USSR Navy V.N. which opened in 1919, gave the name Pantera.[10]

In 1993, under the leadership of Captain I Rank Vasily Mikhalchuk, the crew of the boat won the prize of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy and took first place in the Navy in anti-submarine training.^[11]
