About Iranian ship Kharg

IRIS Kharg (Persian: خارگ) was a modified Ol-class fleet replenishment oiler of the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy, named after Kharg Island. Built by Swan Hunter in the United Kingdom and launched in 1977, Kharg was delivered to Iran in 1984. She was its largest naval vessel based on tonnage until the commissioning of IRIS Makran in early 2021. On 2 June 2021, Kharg caught fire and sank in the Gulf of Oman near the Iranian town of Jask, some 140 kilometres (87 mi) from the Strait of Hormuz.
