Jamaran is the lead ship of the Iranian Moudge-class frigate[6][7][8] launched in early 2010 in Bandar-e-Abbas, Iran. Iran has stated that the design and building of Jamaran was among the greatest achievements of the Iranian Navy and the ship's launch marks a major technological leap for Iran's naval industries.[9] More ships in its class are under construction to be added to the Iranian fleets in the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf. The ship is designed for a crew of 140.[10] Jamaran combines anti-submarine assets with other systems of weapons capable of dealing with surface and air threats as well.
