Islamic Republic of Iran Navy
After the Iranian Revolution in 1979, the Imperial Iranian Navy was named Islamic Republic of Iran Navy (IRIN). As the naval warfare service branch of the Islamic Republic of Iran's armed forces, it has traditionally been the smallest branch of the Iranian military and is tasked mainly with securing Iran's ports and coastline. Over time, the Iranian Navy has changed its mission to primarily anti-piracy beyond the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. The Iranian Navy has aspirations of becoming a blue water navy but has lost influence to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, which is now primarily tasked with securing Iran's interests in the Persian Gulf region.〔("The Consequences of a Strike on Iran: The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy" ) ''Global Bearings,'' 15 December 2011.〕
== Overview ==
The Iranian navy was rebuilt after being almost completely destroyed during the Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran in World War II. Following World War II, the fleet began replacing destroyed warships with destroyers, frigates and many smaller vessels, including powerboats and hovercraft, many of which originated from the US and UK, which had played a part in destroying much of the original equipment in World War II. In the 1970s, Iran planned to extend its naval reach into the Indian Ocean; but this goal was curtailed by the Islamic Revolution (1979), and the ensuing western-backed, first Gulf War (Iran–Iraq War) (1980–1988) which left it hampered in the face of the invasion.
Mohammed-Reza, the last Shah of Iran ordered four modern general purpose destroyers from the United States and eight modified s from Royal Schelde, but both contracts were canceled after the Iranian revolution. The destroyers were instead commissioned in the U.S. Navy as the , while construction of the frigates had not yet started.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=DutchFleet )〕
In terms of major surface ships, Iran relies on its s as well as the new s which were indigenously developed in Iran and are reverse engineered ''Alvand'' class with modern electronics, radar and armament. Iran's three destroyers are over 50 years old and are kept in material reserve at Bushehr. The navy does not include capital ships; its largest ships are five frigates and three corvettes, all of which are armed with modern anti-ship missiles. The main focus of the IRI Navy seems to be on developing new frigates, corvettes and medium to large fast boats capable of carrying modern, precision anti-ship missiles. Three of five frigates (Vosper Mark 5), however, were commissioned over 25 years ago and these ships have been updated with Chinese C-802 missiles. Iran's three corvettes were commissioned over 30 years ago; one (''Hamzeh'') was originally a government yacht but has now been armed with C-802 missiles as well, but it is deployed at Anzali on the Caspian Sea. These eight ships are supported by three Russian built, SSK attack submarines and and mini submarines.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Conflict Iran )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Conflict Iran )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Article )〕〔http://www.defensenews.com/story.php?F=1582230&C=mideast〕
