blackfinch, we're producing 113000 Aframax oil tankers.
By the end of this decade we will have ourselves many more toys. Just a few years ago we didn't have even this 1500 ton frigate, now we have two (second one will come online in the coming months). A few years ago we didn't have any domestic subs, now we have more than 20 midget subs perfect for the shallow waters of the Persian Gulf. We're producing them at a rate of 4-6 every year. We're also making a semi-heavy submarine. In the next decade we will have a much more capable navy.
We started our ship building industry in 2006 out of scratch. Since then we've made an aframax oil tanker (100000 plus displacement), 3 10K+ ocean going container ships and various others crafts (landing crafts, barges etc...).
There is nothing to be ashamed of here, I take pride in our abilities, abilities that nobody else in the region can duplicate. We're doing it all under sanctions and embargos.
