Iran Launches Domestic Built Destroyer in The Caspian Sea

Jamaran

Iran announced the launch of it's second completely domestic built destroyer, on Sunday.

Jamaran 2 launched into the Caspian Sea, for trials.

It is the first time that Iran has ever put a ship into the Caspian.

Weighing 1,420 tons, the ship is equipped with advanced artillery and torpedo systems, a helicopter landing pad, and is capable of carrying surface to air missiles.

Expectations are for the ship to conduct six months of trials, before being fully inducted into the Iranian navy.

In 2009, Iran launched Jamaran, their first domestically built ship.
