Die "Sahand" wurde instandgesetzt und wieder in Dienst gestellt:

US Central Command images released on 4 March showed the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Navy's (IRGCN's) Shahid Sayad Shirazi burning. The revelation, and accompanying briefing detailed the rapid demise of Iran's conventional naval power.

Officially commissioned in February 2024, Shahid Sayad Shirazi was the third of the Soleimani-class catamarans that represented the pinnacle of Iranian naval technology. Designed for high speed and a small radar cross-section, the 600 tonne vessels were armed with six anti-ship missiles, surface-to-air missiles in vertical launcher systems, and close-in weapon systems. Only two appear to have been fitted with air-surveillance radars by the beginning of the US-Israeli attack on 28 February.

US Secretary of Defense Peter Hegseth announced during a 4 March press briefing that the IRGCN's “prize ship” Soleimani, the first of class, was sunk the previous evening. He also confirmed that Dena, the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy (IRIN) Jamaran-class frigate that attended India's fleet review in February, had been sunk by in the Indian Ocean a US Navy submarine, adding that the Iranian navy was resting at the bottom of the Gulf.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine elaborated on the damage inflicted on Iran's two navies after first four days of Operation ‘Epic Fury' in a press briefing on 4 March. He said that more than 20 vessels had been destroyed in addition to Dena, and including a submarine.

“To hunt and kill an out-of-area deployer is something only the United States can do at this type of scale,” he said regarding the sinking of Dena. “[We have] effectively neutralised at this point in time Iran’s major naval presence in theatre,” he added.

CENTCOM said on social media platform X on 2 March that it had hit Iran’s unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) carrier vessel, Shahid Bahman Bagheri (C110-4) within hours of launching ‘Epic Fury’ on 28 February. It did not say it had sunk the ship. On 5 March satellite imagery seen by Janes appeared to show Shahid Bahman Bagheri, possibly making way despite damage, in the Strait of Hormuz near Iran’s Bandar Abbas base. At around 17:15 EST in the 5 March briefing Adm Cooper said that US had hit “an Iranian drone carrier ship” and “as we speak, it’s on fire”. On 6 March CENTCOM releases a video on X showing what it said was a strike on the Shahid Bahman Bagheri.

The US military did not list the other ships sunk. However, satellite imagery shows that nearly all of the IRIN’s major surface combatants were docked in the Bandar Abbas and Konarak bases, and were heavily targeted at the outset of the war.

The IRIN’s primary surface combatants were seven Alvand/Jamaran-class frigates, four of were likely sunk or crippled as of 5 March. That left Alborz in a dry dock at Bandar Abbas and Deylaman in the Caspian sea. Both Bayandor-class corvettes were sunk at Konarak. Smaller missile-armed patrol vessels and support ships presumably make up most of the other vessels that have been sunk. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine said during a briefing on 4 March that a submarine had been hit. This was probably the Kilo-class docked in Bandar Abbas at the outset of the conflict. This was likely Tareq (also spelt Taregh), with the IRIN’s other two Kilos undergoing extended refits.
