The Iranian Navy’s Tareq-class submarine, ‘Younus’, will be dispatched to the East Asian waters in the near future, a Navy commander announced on Wednesday, November 20, 2013.

“The (Iranian) Navy will dispatch the ultra heavy Tareq-class submarine, ‘Younus’ as part of the Navy’s 28th flotilla of warships to the countries of East Asia,” Lieutenant Commander of the Iranian Navy for Operations Admiral Siyavash Jarreh said.

“The Navy’s 28th Flotilla will berth at Mumbai and Colombo ports during its voyage,” he added. In 2011, ‘Younus’ submarine managed to set a new record in sailing the international waters and high seas for 68 days.

Iran’s Younus submarine, sailing alongside warships of the 14th fleet of the Iranian Navy, returned home in early June 2011 following an over two-month-long mission in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
