History

Being one of Iran's largest defense expenditures, the Nahang submarine is Iran's second attempt at designing and manufacturing submarines. In service since March 2006, the Nahang 1 is fully compatible to conditions in the Persian Gulf. It provides the navy with varied options for its use. Its design and construction involved 220 researchers and 1.2 million hours of scientific and industrial work.

After the Ghadir submarine, the Nahang submarine is Iran's second domestically-produced submarine.

Description

The Nahang 1 has a surface search radar and communications masts, which make it unsuitable for harbor infiltration, but well usable for reasonably clandestine mine-laying. It is said to be a sonar-evading stealth submarine. Iranian officials claim the Nahang is equipped with state-of-the-art electronic equipment and can fire missiles and torpedoes simultaneously, but no information was given on the range of these weapons. Nahang means "whale" in Farsi.
