History

According to the Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships, Iran purchased some Chaho-class fast attack crafts from North Korea in 1987.^[2] The Shahid Joolaee Marine Industries of the Marine Industries Organization has built vessels similar to the class with a different superstructure and a raised mast in order to improve radar capabilities.^[1] A 2007 report by the Israeli Institute for National Security Studies suggests that Iran has exported the vessel to Syria.^[3]
