You now the IRGC satellites giving these warships accurate real time surveillance data every few minutes on the situation within a 1000 miles around these vessels. I bet these ships can access those ‘tumbling’ webcams in space no?….…..once yous got long range scan data…..then your onboard shorter range S/T radars can take over. I bet those tumbling webcams have several bands in the spectrum for search.

looks like she was converted from a commercial ship. How much do you think TCG Anadolu influenced this decision?

Naturally I don't follow Iranian media, I have no idea if it became news there.

Iranian Drone carrier "S.Bagheri" C-110-4 is indeed an ex TEU carrier ship built by Hyundai Heavy Industries in the year 2000. It is heavily modified at the ISOICO shipyard to become an exclusive drone carrier. Anadolu as I recall was supposed to be an LHD that was re-purposed to become a Drone carrier . In either case having a Drone carrier is the natural progression of any nation that has a significant Drone industry with ambitions to have a "Blue water" navy such as Turkey and Iran..
Note: Panamax ships dimensions are designed to be able to cross Panama Canal..

TCG Anadolu is still an LHD, the "drone carrier" role is mostly secondary.

But this is an interesting approach, in WWII many aircraft carriers were converted from other warships so most countries built their first aircraft carriers this way. Not a new idea but should be much faster than building a carrier from ground up.

As many people know I hate STOBAR but that flight deck looks longer than the entire TCG Anadolu hull.

Interesting, I like it.

Worlds first I guess. Direct hit on a container vessel. I wonder what anti-ship ballistic missile Iran gave to these Yemeni's?
