Iran has commissioned the aircraft carrier drone carrier "Shahid Bahman Bagheri" with the hull number C-110-4. The ship "Shahid Bahman Bagheri" was built on the basis of the former container ship "Perarin", built in South Korea. Iran has long been using such a scheme for building aircraft carriers, it is inexpensive and feasible in a short time.
The container ship, 240 meters long and 32 meters wide, was modified into an aircraft carrier at the Iran Shipbuilding & Offshore Industries Complex. The aircraft carrier drone carrier "Shahid Bahman Bagheri" is equipped with a runway with a ramp for taking off heavy UAVs. Inside there is a hangar and a lift for drones. The ship also carries light missile boats, sea drones and Mi-8 and Bell 214 helicopters. The armament of the ship "Shahid Bahman Bagheri", various artillery, launchers of anti-ship missiles, air defense is represented by boats with Kowsar-222 missiles. The displacement of the ship is 41,315 tons, the cruising range is up to 22,000 nautical miles, the speed is 22 knots.

That's just insane - Franken-ship. And they use commercial boats as gun-boats.

🔵🇮🇷 Iran's first UAV ship joins the Revolutionary Guard fleet

🔸 Iran adds UAV ship, a mobile sea platform for UAVs and helicopters, to the IRGC fleet
🔸 The ship consists of a 180-meter runway added to an old container ship

The gyrocopter at the beginning “jumping” off the side of the ramp, the helicopter from the Mil series at the end almost touching upper structure with its blades as it lands from the stern 😳

A mind-boggling ship.
I don’t intend to be sarcastic because I hate it but honestly this vessel, be it haphazard flight operations, be it a floating hazard itself with its ill designed upper structure and runway, don’t give the impression of an adequate design.

Still though, must give credit to Iranians for the effort.
