Iranian frigate ‘Sahand’ in immersion. Black series of Moudge ships

Photos published on 7 July 2024 by the Iranian agency Tasnim News Agency can truly shock. They show the frigate "Sahand" (with a displacement of 2,500 tonnes and a dimension of 95 m), which lies on the side of the waterfront at Bandar Abbas port, with a hull in a large part under water, supported by moors from a large container ship standing next to it. These situations sometimes happen in different ports, but they only concern very old and already withdrawn units, which, left unattended, after any time, as a consequence of an accident, can settle down.
