Update On Iranian Navy Surface-Effect Ship (SES)
 

H I Sutton 08 Jan 2021

Since Naval News revealed that a suspected Surface-Effect-Ship (SES) has been built in Iran, information has come to light which provides a provisional identification. The vessel is very likely to be the Saba, a mine warfare vessel for the Iranian Navy.

Saba is Iran’s first mine countermeasures ship and will bring new capabilities to the Iranian Navy. This is despite both the Iranian Navy and IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps) making extensive use of sea mines.
