Iranian frigate thrown on a breakwater during a storm

On Wednesday, during a storm in the Caspian Sea in the area of ​​Iran’s main naval base, the port of Bandar-Enzeli, the Iranian frigate Damavand was thrown onto the breakwater stones, reports bmpd.

It is noted that Damavand is the largest Iranian warship in the Caspian Sea, it was accepted into the Navy in March 2015 of the year.

Judging by the photos, the ship sat on the rocks near the breakwater, and now, probably, they will pull it out with the help of tugs. The main thing is that the frigate does not tip over.

According to unofficial data, on board the ship may be dead and wounded.

Bmpd reference: “Damavand frigate is the largest warship of the Iranian Navy in the Caspian Sea (Iran’s North fleet) It was built by the Iranian shipbuilding company Shahid Tamjidi Marine Industries (STMI) in Bender Anzeli (commissioned on March 9, 2015) and is one of three ships already transferred to the Navy under the Mowj program (a modified copy of the British frigates of the Vosper Mk 5 project from early 1970 years). ”

Why a frigate in the Caspian? In fact, this is a big puddle. Enough of the patrol ships - to disperse poachers and protect the exclusive economic zone. With a serious mess, large ships (and expensive) are an excellent target for aviation, which is not far to fly.

to uphold national interests. Maybe you decide in the border zone to Iran to hold a referendum. And the ship will inspire hope in the democratic choice of the way.

The Caspian is a good base for missile ships. The enemy submarine will not get there, and the plane can be seen from afar.
But Iran has enough “good” neighbors, and it’s necessary to cover its own territory.

If you believe the media, then some countries are equipping their fleet in this pool with Israeli missiles, is it really to fight these poachers.

sorry for the ship. He is beautiful and almost alive! It’s necessary to dock and repair.

and now, probably, they will pull it out with the help of tugboats.

... tear the bottom off the sides ...

Elements are still whose ship. I am surprised that there are such storms in the Caspian, yet the inland sea is not an ocean. Or is the crew still to blame? If there really are dead, then condolences.

In the Caspian Sea, in fact, there are severe storms and ships sometimes sink.

[Shurik70]

Even as a child, when I read "Primordial Russia" I was very surprised that a storm on Ladoga is much more dangerous for merchant ships than a storm on the Baltic. So size and danger are not the same thing.
In addition, the Caspian Sea 1200 km from north to south. There is where to wave the wave.

... Because of the shallow water, the wave is high. There are a lot of parachutes in half broke

I fell into the storms on Ladoga, the Baltic, the Black Sea. So in the latter case, I felt much calmer.

Father-in-law, Kingdom of Heaven, departed for 20 years on tankers.
He said this: a week and got used to pitching. Went on vacation ashore. I walked a month. You return to the ship and again the same whistle.
You get used to it again.
Especially the storms in the Atlantic come when they went to Canada.
100000 tons are thrown like a tin can. A tanker stops from the impact of waves in the cheekbone. Then overclocking again. And again a blow.
So 5-6 days in a row. YEARNING!

Not Caspian on roller

[Egorovich]

"Frigate" is of course a very high-profile name. The displacement of this "frigate" is about 1500 tons. The largest ship built on its own.

[Every]

Indeed, judging by the photo, the boat is not very large (you can compare the size with a tug).

[Nasrat]

Looks like the captain will be demoted to sailors ... a new ship, put on stones ..

[Strips]

I hope the ship to the scrap.
But if people died, then it's a pity.

[bald]

If not those. breakdown - Cap should answer, I don’t think that he has just finished 10 classes.
