Agreed! (I was just trying to reach a certain character limit on my response.:-) Lol!

The Sahand has a flight deck for helicopters, torpedo launchers, anti-aircraft and anti-ship guns, surface-to-surface and surface-to-air missiles and electronic warfare capabilities ... is made of balsa wood, and can be sunk with a casual shot from a Wrist Rocket.

It doesn't look particularly stealthy.

Once the shooting begins, the vessel is nowhere to be seen ...

LOL!.
We should order a LA class sub to sink it on its voyage to Venezuela as a payback for 23 Oct 1983, and then the account is settled.
Be ashamed if a meteorite struck it in the Atlantic....

The US should put a stealth torpedo in it and slip away into the depths of the ocean. The Mullahs would get the message.

Better equipped than an LCS. More effective gun than a modern US destroyer. (As a reminder: the Zumwalt is equipped with a pair of nice gun for which no ammunition exists, so it’s easily outgunned by the Iranian 3”).

The one you are reading about was sunk by the US navy in 1988. This is the replacement. At least scan down the Wikipedia link that you find.

“...which can sustain voyages lasting five months without resupply...”
Only if it doesn’t get sunk, which I think would be in the first round of shooting if a war broke out.

Especially not with that phased-array banging away.

It looks like an ocean going version of an Iranian assault vehicle otherwise known as a 1983 Toyota mini truck with a .50 cal machine gun mounted in the back. Primitive.

That is INCREDIBLY stealthy.
Once it is on the ocean floor, no one will see it.
