The Iranian Navy: 22,000 men, 3 destroyers, 4 frigates, 4 corvettes, 5 patrol boats, 5 dredgers, 2 landing craft, 14 hovercraft, 1 submarine. Because of a lack of spare parts, the navy is said to take apart certain ships in order to repair others, according to the U.S. military attaché in Tehran. Bandar Abbas provisions the Palang on the high seas.
