Iranian destroyer Jamaran

Iranian destroyer Jamaran

Jamaran is the name of Iran's first domestically produced destroyer. Little is known about this ship and because Iran calls their frigates, destroyers it is possible that this ship should more accurately be classified as a frigate. However this is unlikely considering because Iran calls the "Jamaran" their first domestically produced destroyer and the other frigates which they call destroyers have already been made. If it is in fact a frigate then it would be the Moudge I, which would still make it Iran's first domestically produced "destroyer", as Iran is known for giving different names to the same project. The Fars News Agency mistakenly put a picture of a model of the Iranian frigate Alvand in its news article wherein Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari announced the ship would be launched 25 November 2007. [Fars News [http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=8609030715 Iran to Launch Home-Made Destroyer] . November 24 2007]

Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari said that the manufacture of this ship and the 'Peykan' missile boat were among the greatest achievements of the Iranian Navy and said that their production set a part of Iran's defensive doctrine which is based on deterrence.
