Iran Navy's 25th fleet sets off for Gulf of Aden
|
The 25th fleet of the Iran Navy has left the country's southern port of Bandar Abbas for the Gulf of Aden to provide security for shipping lines in that region, Press TV reported. The 25th fleet, which carries the message of peace for the region, left Bandar Abbas on Sunday after the 24th fleet successfully conducted its 72-day mission in international waters and returned home on April 4.
The 25th fleet of Iranian warships comprises the Larak logistical warship and the Alborz missile-launching corvette frigate destroyer.
On Thursday, Iran Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari said that presence in the Indian and Pacific oceans and the China Sea, patrolling Southeast Asia's strategic Strait of Malacca, crossing the Equator, docking at China's Zhangjiagang port and identifying 370 surface and subsurface vessels were among the important tasks carried out by the 24th fleet. The 24th fleet consisted of Sabalan corvette frigate destroyer and Kharg Ol-class replenishment oiler helicopter carrier along with 800 naval personnel.
In recent years, Iran Navy has been increasing its presence in international waters to protect gun running naval routes.
