Well, at least obama can say he has a legacy now.

Would be sunk in less than ten minutes if it engaged with the US Navy.

[BenLurkin]

Another one that can and should be sunk by the Americans.

Stealth?

[elpadre]

Like the Chinese, they probably stole the good stuff from a Pentagon contractor.

"British-made Vosper Mark V class frigate."

Wow... Who needs enemies when you have Friends like this..? But, I suppose we've done worst...

[unread]

Hmmm... I looked up the Sahand destroyer and what I read said it was British made... The article implies that it was made in Iran...(?)

[piasa]

Separately, a naval commander said Sahand may be among warships that Iran plans to send on a mission to Venezuela soon.

I’d give it a 15 minute life-span against even a USN LCS (and they ain’t necessarily meant to be ship-to-ship combat vessels).

I’d give it 10 minutes against a USN Destroyer of any class.

It would be sunk before it was even in visual range against a USN Cruiser.

And in consultation with the Pentagon it may soon be fully modified to perform at least half the major capabilities of a submarine.

The shape, as depicted, is definitely not in the least bit stealty. If anything, counter stealthy. I don’t know who they think they are fooling. Literally anyone with a small boat radar could see that thing 10 nautical miles away. It would be a joke if it were in the least bit funny.

More likely a cruise ship for naughty senior Iranian officers to bugger young recruits on, definitely unsuited for modern warfare.

Just listen and you’ll hear the Call to Prayer

...To pick up a load of cocaine...

It's a cruise ship for senior Iranian officers. I would be willing to bet that that "phased array radar" on the center island never even radiates. It's a Potemkin warship.

I guess one just has to say something is stealthy...I see nothing about this ship that is so!!!

[kenmcg]

Give Iran a message short and sweet........take it out!

[ontap]

This thing would be sunk before it even saw a US ship!!!

[Cold War Veteran - Submarines]

If hostilities break out, the moment this ship set sail, along with anything else, from an Iranian harbor they would be sunk by a submarine that would have been sitting near that harbor.
