Official: Iran No. 1 World Country in High-Speed Boats
TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Iranian defense ministry official stressed that Iran is the number one world country in high-speed boats production and developing its related capabilities.

Addressing the inauguration ceremony of the final round of smart vessels competition here in Tehran on Wednesday, Director of the Maritime Industries Organization of the Iranian Defense Ministry Mostafa Esbati announced that Iran attaches much importance to its vessels' capability since it is the pioneering world countries in producing and using speed boats.

"High-speed boats in foreign countries are only seen as racing vessels, but for us it goes back to the (Iraqi) imposed war (on Iran in 1980s) and the use of these boats by the Navy," Esbati stated, adding that the defense ministry believes that supporting research in this area is a grave responsibility on its shoulders.

In March 2011, Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi said that speed boats, specially the newly mass-produced missile-launching vessels, have granted high mobility and power to the IRGC Navy and made it a unique force in the world.

"As regards high-speed missile-launching vessels, no country in the world enjoys such a power (that Iran has)," Fadavi said, addressing a ceremony held to mark inauguration of the production lines of two types of new speed vessels.

"We emphasize that we have gained a unique power in this field of naval defense," Fadavi went on saying.

Admiral Fadavi further compared the high speed of the Iranian vessels and the IRGC Navy's high mobility with the US Navy, and said, "US warships currently have a maximum speed of 31 knots while the Iranian vessels can traverse twice as fast on average."
