Iran Navy’s 86th flotilla close to end of global tour in Oman

Tehran, IRNA – The Iranian Navy’s 86th flotilla has docked at a port in Oman after a long voyage around the globe with the objective of expanding Iran’s naval presence in international waters.

According to IRNA’s correspondent in Salalah, after traveling 63,000 kilometers, the flotilla of warships has now docked at the Salalah port on the 236th day of its voyage.

The 86th flotilla, also known as the 360th flotilla, set sail from Iran’s southern port city of Bandar Abbas on September 20 last year and has sailed in the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.

The flotilla has crossed the equator four times and will reach Bandar Abbas after traveling an additional 2,000 kilometers.

It is comprised of Dena, a warship equipped with anti-ship cruise missiles, torpedoes and naval cannons, and Makran, an afloat military base that can carry five helicopters and is employed for providing logistical support for combat warships.
