Jamaran is the name of a domestically produced Mowj class guided missile frigate launched in early 2010 in Bandar-e-Abbas, Iran. Iran said that the design and building of JAMARAN and the missile boat PAYKAN were among the greatest achievements of the and the ship's launch marks a major technological leap for Iran's naval industries. It is the first ship from four in its class. More ships in its class are under construction to be added to the Iranian Naval fleets in the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf soon. The ship is designed for a crew of 120-140. The Jamaran class combines anti-submarine assets with other systems of weapons capable of dealing with surface and air threats as well.
The primary weapon deployed by Jamaran-class vessels is the Bell 212, which acts in concert with shipboard sensors to seek out and destroy submarines at long range. The Jamaran-class also carries a close-in anti-submarine weapon, the 324 mm light torpedo, mounted on triple torpedo launchers on either side of the stern. To deal with surface forces, the vessel is equipped with four Noor / C-802 surface-to-surface missiles, mounted on box launchers on the roof of the upper deck level between the radar and the main mast. The single shot hit probability of the Noor is estimated to be as high as 98%. For anti-aircraft self-defense the Jamaran-class has four SM-1 surface-to-air missiles mounted on box launchers at the main deck level near the helicopter landing pad. The Jamaran-class also carries two 20 mm manned cannons and a 40 mm autocannon to provide a shipboard point-defense against incoming anti-ship missiles and aircraft. The main gun on the forecastle is a 76 mm Fajr-27 gun. The gun is capable of firing at a rate of 85 rounds per minute at a range of more than 17 kilometers. The Fajr-27 is a multi-purpose weapon, capable of dealing with surface, air, and onshore targets.
The ship is equipped with one Plessey AWS-1 long range air and surface search and tracking radar, installed on the roof of forward of the funnel. The ship is also fitted with two navigation radars on the main mast. The ship is also equipped with one fire control radar.
The Jamaran-class vessels are powered by two 10,000 hp engines, possibly French manufactured diesels, and also use four diesel generators which each generate 550 kW. The Jamaran-class can reach a maximum speed of 30 knots.
The JAMARAN can accommodate a small and medium size helicopter and can also run a helicopter in-flight refueling (HIFR) operation when a helicopter approaches on the landing platform, which is not necessarily suited for landing operations.
While the JAMARAN has been described by the press as a guided missile destroyer, within some western military analysis circles such as Jane's Information Group and Globalsecurity.org it has instead been designated a frigate or a corvette based on its low displacement; the latter acknowledged that there are no "rules in these matters". Furthermore Globalsecurity.org states: 'Iran calls these ships "destroyers" but they would be classed as a corvette or light Frigate by the reckoning of all other countries.' PressTV and Iranian military are themselves describing JAMARAN as a "frigate class ship in the same article where they claim it as a "destroyer".
