History
editThe first naval base was established here in 1915.[citation needed] There is no rail link to Ostrovnoy and the settlement is reachable by coastal ship, helicopter or small plane in winter.[citation needed]
Until 1938, the town was known as Yokanga. Until 1981,[citation needed] the town was known as Gremikha.[8]
The Gremikha Naval Base was one of the Northern Fleet's main facilities for servicing nuclear submarines.[9][10]
Administrative and municipal status
editWithin the framework of administrative divisions, it is, together with six rural localities, incorporated as the closed administrative-territorial formation of Ostrovnoy—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[1] As a municipal division, the closed administrative-territorial formation of Ostrovnoy is incorporated as Ostrovnoy Urban Okrug.[3]
