  • Navy News Week 47-1
    NAVY NEWS WEEK 47-1 26 November 2017 Yemen’s Houthis threaten to attack warships, oil tankers if ports stay closed Yemen’s armed Houthi movement said on Sunday it could attack warships and oil tankers from enemy countries in retaliation against the closure of Yemeni ports by a Saudi-led military coalition last week Saudi Arabia has blamed the Iran- allied Houthis for firing a ballistic missile towards Riyadh airport on Nov 4. Two days later, the Saudi-led coalition responded by closing access to Yemeni ports, saying this was needed to stop arms reaching the Houthis. The United Nations says the closure could cause a famine in Yemen that could kill millions of people if ports are not reopened. “The battleships and oil tankers of the aggression and their movements will not be safe from the fire of Yemeni naval forces if they are directed by the senior leadership (to attack),” the Houthis’ official media outlet Al Masirah said on its website, citing a military commander. Yemen lies beside the southern mouth of the Red Sea, one of the most important trade routes in the world for oil tankers, which pass near Yemen’s shores while heading from the Middle East through the Suez Canal to Europe. The Houthis, fighters drawn mainly from Yemen’s Zaidi Shi‘ite minority and allied to long-serving former president Ali Abdullah Saleh, control much of Yemen including the capital San‘aa. The Saudi-led military alliance is fighting in support of the internationally recognised government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who is based in the southern port of Aden.

    NAVY NEWS WEEK 3-5 18 January 2018 Iran's navy destroyer crashes at Caspian port due to sea storm Source: Xinhua | 2018-01-16 17:11:41 | Editor: huaxia Iran's military destroyer Damavand crashed at Caspian Sea port due to strong winds and sea storm. TEHRAN, Jan. 16 (Xinhua) -- Iran's military destroyer Damavand crashed into wave breakers at a port in the Caspian Sea and two of its crew members are missing, Tasnim news agency reported on Monday. A search operation is underway to find the two servicemen missing in the accident that happened on January 10, the report quoted army spokesperson General Shahin Taqikhani as saying. Strong winds and a sea storm led to the crash, said Taqikhani. Contrary to the initial reports about minor damages to the destroyer, the assessment teams have found out that the vessel has suffered serious damages and needs a complete overhaul, he said. On Wednesday, Damavand destroyer crashed into wave breakers when it was docking at port in Iran's northern province of Gilan in stormy weather. The 100-meter-long destroyer that weighs more than 1,300 tons officially joined the Navy's northern fleet in the Caspian Sea in March 2015. Source: http://www.xinhuanet.com Destroyer of the Navy of Iran Flew Into a Breakwater in the Caspian Sea In the harbor near the Iranian city of Bandar- Anzali in the Caspian Sea, the destroyer of the Iranian naval forces “Damavand” crashed into a concrete breakwater, Iranian media reported. According to media sources unconfirmed by the Navy, as a result of the collision, six members of the ship’s crew fell overboard, four managed to be rescued, and the search for the two continues.
