In 1958, however, Promyslowka became an urban-type settlement , as was the newly founded Tichookeanski (from Russian Tichi okean, literally for Pacific Ocean ) in the immediate vicinity but closer to the coast as a naval base in 1963 . The places grew together and were finally given town charter as a "closed town" under the current name on October 4, 1980, for which, however, the name Schkotowo-17 was used for reasons of secrecy (after the settlement named after Nikolai Jakowlewitsch Schkot , the former administrative center of Schkotowo surrounding Rajons of the same name ; today this is Bolshoi Kamen ). The subordinate settlements were also given code names: Dunai became Schkotowo-22 and Putyatin Schkotowo-26 . Fokino has officially been using this name since 1994.
