The organization has no official or funding ties to the United States Naval Academy or the U.S. Navy, although it is based on the grounds of the Naval Academy through permission granted by a 1936 Act of Congress.

If it is shahid soleimani then where is the officially announced air defense missiles located? The notion of a helipad seems strange. Of course I can be wrong, but I think and hope that the flat platform is reserved for VLCs.

Or having no hangar and therefore the helicopter is not fixed on board, but used occasionally, the flight deck, on the sides above the two hulls, could theoretically also hide some VLS

Mm I like the sound of that. Multipurpose deck!

Doubt you can have a VLS with large missiles on a catamaran size of Shahid Solemani.

If it wasn’t able to be done on Mowj vessels due to stability concerns, I can’t see how it can be done on a catamaran.

According to Iranian naval doctrine having a helicopter on deck is more important than an air defense system

It's more like Taiwan's catamaran than China's catamaran.

China is phasing out Type 22 with Type 056. Type 22 is too limited. Type 056 is more like Ada class.

Still assuming VLS.
A system of dimensions similar to the South African of DENEL Umkhonto, would have no problems of dimensions.
Then it should be considered whether it is really necessary for this 65-meter catamaran to have VLS, or more simply for example a multiple system equipped with MANPDAS

 

[Yongpeng Sun-Tastaufen]

IMO Iran will go for Type 056. It's similar to Ada class. Missile boats are too limited. China phased out Type 22 missile boat with Type 056 corvette.
