Iran commissioned their second homemade mini Submarines <http://www.strategypage.com/militaryforums/462-3054.aspx> http://www.strategypage.com/militaryforums/462-3054.aspx Jan 2006 Iran Receives More Mini-Subs December 5, 2006: Iran has put two coastal submarines into service. Apparently with technical help from North Korea, Iran is building these mini-submarines for operations along its coasts, and throughout the Persian Gulf. Four have been built so far. The sub has a two man crew, and can carry three divers, or several naval mines, or a torpedo. The Iranians say they will use the mini-subs to lay mines or launch underwater commando attacks. Whi le the North Koreans provided some technical assistance, the Iranian sub is a local design, smaller than most North Korean mini-subs, which is a reflection of the more turbulent seas found off the Korean coast. In the shallow waters of the Persian Gulf, the Iranian minisubs (which look like an enlarged torpedo, with a glassed over cockpit in the front), can be very difficult to detect. Their range is probably a few hundred kilometers, more than sufficient to reach any targets in the area. However, the United States Navy has spent a lot of time and effort on the problem, and is probably better prepared to deal with minisubs than most navies. North Korea has a fleet of over 60 mini-subs, and apparently Iran wants at least a few dozen. <http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htsub/articles/20061205.aspx?comments=Y> http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htsub/art...aspx?comments=Y This post has been edit ed by Callsign 24 Seira on Jul 16 2007, 03:42 AM [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
