The Iranian navy’s largest warship sank Wednesday 02 June 2021 in the Gulf of Oman after catching fire.
The ship sank during training near the Iranian port of Jask, some 1,270 kilometers (790 miles) southeast of Tehran on the Gulf of Oman near the Strait of Hormuz — the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf after firefighting efforts that lasted nearly a day.
The vessel, built by Britain in 1977 and part of Iran’s maritime fleet since 1984, had been used for training exercises and to resupply ships at sea, according to Iranian state media.
Around 400 sailors were aboard the 33,000-ton ship at the time of the fire, and about 20 were injured.
