Project 602 Skat (not to be confused with the Project 670 Skat/Charlie-class SSGNs) was a proposed underwater launch platform for UR-100M SLBMs (modified UR-100/SS-11 Sego ICBM).
Development began in 1964 in bureau TsKB-18, future design bureau "Rubin", St. Petersburg.

Designed to carry 8 SLBMs, Project 602 double-hulled launch pad's calculated displacement was ~2300t submerged, width 17m, height 21m & length 18m. Pad was designed to withstand depth of 100m & manned by the crew of 24 sailors.

Project 602 Skat had to be equipped with diesel-electric propulsion to compensate for the tidal & underwater currents & depth control. The platform was designed to hover at ~100m waiting for the launch order and surface for the SLBM launch.

Design works on the Project 602 were terminated at the end of 1964 due to issues with the UR-100M missiles & other technical issues (reliable command com, navigational equipment...) as well as the arrival of new diesel-electric & nuclear-powered ballistic missiles submarines.
