<\/p>\nThe Kharg, Iran’s largest navy ship, sank in the Gulf of Oman early on June 2, 2021 after catching fire.<\/p>\n
The fire started around 2.25 a.m. during a training mission near the port of Jask, which is a significant shipping corridor, according to Iranian media.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, no one was hurt because the ship’s entire crew was able to escape the accident and reach safety on the coast.<\/p>\n

The cause of the fire has yet to be determined. Officials worked for about 20 hours to put out the fire, but they were unsuccessful since the flames spread to different places of the ship.<\/p>\n
\u2022 When the fire broke out, the 680-foot fleet replenishment oiler Kharg was deployed for training operations.<\/p>\n
\u2022 According to the Iranian Navy, the naval vessel was on a training trip in international seas when “one of its systems” caught fire.<\/p>\n
\u2022 The ship was approaching Iran’s port of Jask, which is located in the Gulf of Oman near the Strait of Hormuz, southeast of Tehran.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Despite the fact that military and civilian crews fought the fire for hours, all efforts to extinguish it failed, and the ship sank.<\/p>\n
\u2022 The ship had approximately 400 crew men on board, all of whom were able to escape. According to Iranian media, 33 individuals were injured, but no one died.<\/p>\n
