Over the weekend, Iran faced a setback as one of its newest warships, the frigate Sahand, capsized in the port of Bandar Abbas while undergoing repairs. The incident occurred when water leaked into the ship's tanks, causing it to lose balance and rest on its left side in the port.
The 311-foot-long Sahand, equipped with antiship cruise missiles and an electronic warfare system, is a significant vessel in Iran's fleet. However, the mishap could potentially put the ship out of commission for up to six months, according to naval analyst Carl Schuster.
