It truly is a beauty, and not just because it was made in Iran. It genuinely has greater aesthetic quality than anything IRIN currently has. Same goes for some of the FACs.
 
Update 2:

Some additional info+photos regarding "S. Solaimani" warship

  • The first ship took two years to build.One will be built each year (12 total). Two are already under construction in different naval shipyards.
  • internally accommodates 3 Fast Attack Crafts and/or SDVs below deck (see photo)
  • capable of 30-32 knots (60 km)
  • Design of the hull was finalized after 100,000 CAD iterations/simulation.
  • Possibly can carries/launches 750 km Cruise missile.

The second ship under construction seems to be around 80m.

Will they keep increasing the size of subsequent vessels? If so, what's the maximum limit they're targeting?
 
Iranian "Arvandan" shipyard to build two 800 ton Bunkering tankers.
1670776317680.png

Iran’s Arvandan Shipbuilding Company will deliver two 800-ton multi-purpose tankers to IRISL’s bunkering agent GMSENG within the next 20 months based on a $7 million dollars contract signed between the two companies earlier on Saturday.
 
Iran has three shipbuilding projects
- A project based on the French boat model called SINA class
- And a project based on the British Corvette called the MOUDGE class
- And a project with Chinese or Russian assistance to build the Negin-class frigate
 

Iran's First Carrier Expected To Be Launched In 2023

Fri 30 December 2022By H I Sutton

EF_1.jpg

Work is progressing on the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' first aircraft carrier. The 240 meter long drone carrier is based on a large merchant ship hull. Two of the vessels are expected to be built, the Shahid Mahdavi and Shahid Bagheri.
Based on analysis of open sources I believe the first one to be the Shahid-Mahdav (110-3) although it is also being reported in Iranian social media sources as Shahid Bagheri. The two ships are likely similar or identical so this detail may be less important at this point.
EF2.jpg

Like the Iranian Navy's forward base ship Makran, which is currently transiting across the Pacific, the conversion is being done at the ISOICO shipyard west of Bandar Abbas.
The conversion adds a large cantilever flight deck on the port (left) side. It is currently unclear whether an overhang will be added to the starboard (right) side also. The fact that the superstructure spans the original deck means that a traditional aircraft carrier layout is not possible. The angles on the added light deck are also not traditional. Possibly this hints at a flight deck running across from port to starboard ahead of the superstructure.
Iran's First Carrier Shahid Mahdavi

The angles of the deck may hint at a runway from port to starboard.

As a drone carrier the ship is expected to carry both helicopters and runway-launched drones.
Information suggests that the ship was originally Perarin (IMO: 9209350), a large container ship. Perarin was built in 2000 and operated under an Iranian flag. Specifications for Perarin are a carrying capacity of 3,280 TEU, length overall (LOA) of 240.2 meters and beam of 32.2 meters. Her reported draught was 7.8 meters.
Low-resolution open source satellite imagery suggests that the ship was moved into the dry dock at the end of May 2022. The deck was stripped and the ship painted grey. Work on the overhanging flight deck became apparent in satellite imagery around November 19 2022.
