The Iranian Navy's northern fleet will soon receive a locally produced Deylaman vessel, the commander of the Iranian Navy, Rear Admiral Shahram Irani announced on Friday.
Deylaman will be deployed in the Caspian Sea where it will ensure the safety of shipping and enhance the skills of navy members, according to Rear Admiral Irani.
The Navy's chief said Deylaman is an updated version of the Jamaran vessel, the lead ship of the Iranian Mowj-class frigate, as it has been equipped with new equipment.
He added that the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy plans to hold two joint naval exercises with foreign military forces in the northern tip of the Indian Ocean within the next few months.
