...It seems Iran loves a good rocket, has it ever considered anything like the USN's Inshore Firesupport Ship? 10 trainable rocket launchers(which could launch various size rockets), 1 5" guns, 4-40mm and 8-20mm. Of course this was a Vietnam era ship, so today I'm sure defensive as well as offensive missles would be fit on this type of boat today. It was a shallow draft to allow it to navigate far inland. It could make about 16knots. In Vietnam the would accompany a pack of much faster attack boat and landing craft. They worked fairly well.....
