Jamaran is the name of Iran's first domestically produced destroyer launched in early 2010. Iran said that the manufacture of Jamaran and the missile boat Paykan were among the greatest achievements of the Iranian Navy and the destroyer's launch marks a major technological leap for Iran's naval industries.[7][6] It is the first ship of its class. More ships in its class are under construction. The ship is designed for a crew of 140.[8] The Jamaran is much smaller than other contemporary defined destroyers. The Jamaran-class combines traditional anti-submarine capabilities with systems to deal with surface and air threats as well.
Description
Weapons Systems
The primary weapon deployed by Jamaran-class vessels is the Bell 214 or SH-3 Sea King [citation needed] helicopter, which acts in concert with shipboard sensors to seek out and destroy submarines at long distances from the ships. The Jamaran-class also carries a close-in anti-submarine weapon 324 mm light torpedoes, launched from triple torpedo launchers either side of the forward end of the helicopter landing pad. A secondary anti-shipping role is supported possibly by four C-802 surface-to-surface missiles, mounted in four box launchers at the main deck level between the funnel and the helicopter landing pad. For anti-aircraft self-defense the Jamaran-class is supported possibly by four SM-1 [citation needed] surface-to-air missiles in four box launchers at the main deck level near the helicopter landing pad. The Jamaran-class is also carries two 20mm and one 40mm maned autocannon to provide a shipboard point-defense against incoming anti-ship missiles and aircraft. The main gun on the fo'c'sle is a 76 mm Fajr-27 gun. The gun is capable of firing shells at a rate of 85 rounds per minute at a range of more than 17 kilometers. The Fajr-27 is a multi-purpose weapon usable against surface and air targets and can also fire shells in ship-to-shore bombardment.

Propulsion
The Jamaran-class vessels are powered by two 10,000 hp engines, possibly diesels and also use 4 diesel generators which each generate 550 kw. The Jamaran-class can reach a maximum speed of 30 knots.
Incorrect Identification
Based on the ship's configuration, armament, layout, size, and intended mission, it would be best described as a multi-purpose corvette, frigate, or guided missile frigate, and a fairly small one by modern standards. A modern MEKO 360 (itself classified as both a frigate[9] and a destroyer[10]) displaces 3,360 tons fully loaded, a MEKO 200 3,400 tons fully loaded and an older Kortenaer class frigate of the Dutch Navy 3,500 tons standard, 3,800 tons full load.[3][4] [5]
