Several people were hospitalized with minor injuries after the Iranian naval frigate Sahand capsized while undergoing works in the southern port of Bandar Abbas, near the Strait of Hormuz, according to Tehran’s state-run news agency IRNA on July 6.
The 1,300-ton destroyer “lost its balance” after water infiltrated the ship’s tanks during “repair” works, IRNA reported. The report states that efforts were ongoing to bring the vessel back to its position. It remains unclear what repairs the ship was having done.
