I am of the opinion that it is difficult to achieve more in 6 months, perhaps using a container ship it was easier to achieve what you wrote, since having the holds free is more adaptable even with the implementation of modified stadard containers, becoming a sort of helicopter carrier / troop carrier. The Makran 441, on the other hand, is a tanker and I think that it is more difficult and dangerous to work to modify the tanks, but precisely because it is a tanker it is already prepared to refuel other ships, Probably this was the capacity that as a first important point for the Iranian Navy, then of course the size of the ship has allowed and allows to add other opportunities of use. Now it remains to see how it will actually be when the work is completed and what improvements will be poured into the "Makran-2" Which hull will they use for the "Makran-2" again that of a tanker ship or a container ship ?!That actually doesnt look too bad at all,great work,tho I wish that the navy had gone for a large central aircraft elevator and a corresponding large under pad hanger deck.However the navy is extremely conservative when it comes to its design choices sadly,indeed one wonders if the irin would`ve done this if it hadnt been for the irgc-n producing its base ship
Reportedly, Makran 2 will have that! Makran 1 was rushed because of immediate need in the Red Sea!,tho I wish that the navy had gone for a large central aircraft elevator and a corresponding large under pad hanger deck.
It's the first I've heard of attacks in the Red sea.Admiral Khanzandi did state that corona required that this vessel be available asap as Iran could no longer count on ports outside of Iran and the instability in Yemen and increased attacks against shipping in the Red Sea precipitated the need for this and the other floating bases. Makran 2 is currently being fitted out as well. I don't remember ever hearing of so many ships this size for the IRIN so soon until this past year; I believe corona being the main catalyst for these.
my mistake to remember what general khanzadi said in interview.sorry, but i can't translate correctly, what do you mean "said hanger will be added in middle of ship"
It's the first I've heard of attacks in the Red sea.
I suppose the blue water fleet cannot provide 24/7 protection year round for shipping without this supply/support vessel.
He said terrorist attacks as opposed to piracy, making the situation more serious. The Saviz is already there and has been for years supposedly. These newer larger ships allow for operations and long term presence that the Kharg couldn't have the capacity for fulfilling.It's the first I've heard of attacks in the Red sea.

No matter what the price end up to be you are protecting $300 million dollar asset and lives of the crew. This is the case where you want to go top of the line but domestic production.Good series:
I wonder if the price is guesstimate or intelligence data.
Definitely. The crew have been very brave going through Redsea and eastern Mediterranean and Atlantic Ocean.No matter what the price end up to be you are protecting $300 million dollar asset and lives of the crew. This is the case where you want to go top of the line but domestic production.
put the hanger in middle of the shipin the absence of other news concerning the Makran 441, place anotherphotoshop of how it could look with hangar in the bow
