The Iranian "Shahid Bagheri" Drone Carrier (C-110-4), as its first domestically produced UAV carrier. The ship’s defining feature is a specialized 180-meter-long angled deck, enabling the operation of UAVs of different sizes. At 240 meters in length, it is the largest vessel in Iranian service.
Originally built as a container ship in 2000 by Hyundai Shipyard in South Korea, the Bagheri previously operated under the names Silver Craft, Iran Kerman, and Perarin. The conversion of the vessel began in 2022 at the ISOICO shipyard near Bandar Abbas, with sea trials started in late 2024.
While Iran has demonstrated the capability to launch UAVs from ships in the past, the Bagheri is the first vessel specifically designed for this role, featuring a dedicated runway and arrestor equipment for UAV landings as well as bellow-deck hangers and additional equipment.
