Damavand (Persian: ناوشکن دماوند), also known as Jamaran-2 (جماران ۲) and Velayat (ولایت),[5] was the second ship of the Iranian Moudge class of frigates and the flagship of the northern fleet.[6] The class appeared to be a development of the Alvand class. It was named Damavand after inauguration in the Caspian Sea. She sank on 28 January 2018, after hitting the breakwater at Bandar-e Anzali on 10 January.
