Moudge-class frigate

The Moudge class, alternately spelled Moje class (meaning Wave), is a class of domestically produced Iranian light frigates. It appears to be a development of the Alvand class (British Saam class) design. They are described as Destroyers by the Iranian state media but the size and weight of the ships; 1,500 ton displacement, are more in keeping with that of light frigates. The ships are also referred to as Destroyer Escorts.

The first ship, Jamaran is said to be completed and is stationed in the port of Bandar Abbas. Damavand is the second ship in this class. According to OSGEOINT, the Velayat(Jamaran-2) has been constructed at the Shahid Tamjidi Marine Industries(STMI) fabrication shop off the Caspian sea near 37.46846°N, 49.46238°W at Bandar-e Anzali., it was launched in March 2013
