Probably a result of "hotwork"? Callous maintenance procedures and lack of safety resulting in severe damage!
Newest and best Iranian naval vessel capsizes in port, while docked not underway.
"Iran’s Sahand Warship Capsizes"
From https://gcaptain.com | By Arsalan Shahla | July 7, 2024 | © 2024 Bloomberg L.P..
"Jul 7, 2024 (Bloomberg) –Several people were injured in an accident during repair work on Iran’s Sahand destroyer, the semi-official Fars news agency reported."
"The incident likely occurred during repairs to Sahand’s propulsion system or its ballast tank at the southern port city of Bandar Abbas, Fars reported. Unconfirmed images posted by local media showed the 96-meter (315-foot) vessel capsized in port."
"The warship tilted and had become partially submerged, but can be refloated and repaired, according to Fars."
Resurrection of the Sahand a possible. Can be righted and make combat worthy again. But that process laborious and expensive.
Various pundits will speculate the sinking of the Sahand an obvious [?] result of Israeli sabotage?
