I have a question how many ships which were in service with the Imperial Iranian Navy
are still in service with the Islamic Republic Navy

I also want to know what happened to these ships

They are kept in Bushehr in material reserve.This is also a move that made me confused.Iranian navy operates many old vessels and this three which could be good used are out of service,The only logical explanation is that this ships are simply in so bad condition that no longer operational

Actually, last time I checked all destroyers from the Imperial fleet were scrapped in the 90's when they were retired. I can tell you for a fact they are not at the Bushrer's port as you can look at the port using Google Earth and there are no vessels of that kind anywhere near it. Nor at Bandar Abbas. In fact these vessels have never been seen at ANY Iranian ports since Google Earth became available and believe me, these ports have been closely studied.

It's possible the vessels are in a covered dry dock but I think it's more likely they were just scrapped.
