Raised[edit]

See also: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ships#Iranian frigate Sahand Some anons have added that the Iranian frigate Sahand, which was heavily damaged and sunk during Operation Praying Mantis, was raised and now one has cited Janes fighting ships 2006-2007. If anyone has access to a copy I'd like to get verification from an established editor (and a page number, ISBN, etc) to further confirm this. Further status beyond just "raised" would be nice as well. Was it raised to scrap, or because it presented a navigational hazard, etc. Thanks. --Dual Freq 11:23, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have a copy of that Janes infront of me, and I woudlnt' mind betting that whoever is trying to further this misinformation - that the Sahand has been raised and only an anonymous Wikipedian has found out - doesn't either. As noted over on WP:SHIPS the source of this "claim" appears to be a petty slagging match at http://wikimapia.org/1773132/ Emoscopes ^Talk 20:04, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to assume the raised part is a hoax or misrepresentation. If the wreck was raised, it may have been because it posed a navigational hazard or that the scrap metal was too valuable to leave sunk. Either way before it gets added I think it needs more context, such as why it was raised and current disposition of the hulk. To the anons who continue to add this, please include all the context from Janes, ISBN of issue and page number. GlobalSecurity notes that only 3 Alvand ('Vosper' Mk 5) class frigates are in Iranian service. Wikimapia points at this location: 27°8′46″N 56°12′40″E / 27.14611°N 56.21111°E and claims it is Sahand, but offers no sources. Other Google earth "amateur analysts" claim it is a new domestically constructed Mowj or Mowaj a (mini) destroyer or corvette and not Sahand. See also [1] [2] In any event, I expect a source for a the raising of Sahand, and have removed it from the article again. --Dual Freq 01:17, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As general observation, i think that could be important to remark how this class of frigate is the fastest of any other type of the category. Not even 'Lupo', that are 'only' rated at 35 knts.--Stefanomencarelli (talk) 22:49, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weapons[edit]

Ship was also hit by a Walleye weapon. Not sure why this isn’t mentioned?Brooksindy (talk) 00:40, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
