IRIS Gorz (P228)

IRIS Gorz is a Kaman-class fast attack craft serving in the Southern Fleet of the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy. Being able to launch Mehrab (a reverse engineered version of RIM-66 Standard), she is considered the smallest warship in the world to operate such a missile. It is reportedly the only ship in her class that is capable of firing surface-to-air missiles, as of 2020.

History
During Iran-Iraq War, Gorz was assigned to Bushehr Naval Base.

From 1996 to 1998, she was used for modernization trials.

In the wargame Velayat 90, on 1 January 2012, she fired the missile Mehrab for the first time, marking its first operational test. The ship was modernized in 2015–2021.
