Zitat:Iran Unveils New Spy Ship Based On Corvette Hullhttps://www.twz.com/sea/iran-unveils-new...vette-hull
While most intelligence-gathering ships are based on commercial designs or specifications, Iran’s new spy ship uses a Mowj class corvette hull. [...]
Iran unveiled its first domestically built signals intelligence (SIGINT) ship, the Zagros, yesterday. According to the state-run news agency IRNA, the ship has now officially joined the country’s naval fleet. “The Zagros signals intelligence ship will be a vigilant eye for the Iranian Navy deep into seas and oceans,” the commander of the Iranian Navy, Adm. Shahram Irani, said in a statement. [...] In common with other SIGINT ships, the Zagros is equipped with electronic sensors to collect, decrypt, and analyze radio-frequency signals from hostile or potentially hostile emitters. Antennas for these sensors are housed in prominent ball-shaped radomes arranged around the top of the superstructure, with seven in all, of three different sizes, with the smaller ones likely to house satellite communications systems.
