At least 20 dead as Iranian vessel hit by friendly fire

During an exercise in the Persian Gulf, a rocket fired by an Iranian navy vessel mistakenly targetted another, causing at least 20 deaths, according to reports in the local media.

An Iranian destroyer mistakenly shot and sank a second Iranian vessel during a naval exercise Sunday in the Persian Gulf, killing at least 20 people, according to unofficial reports.

Initial reports claim a C-802 Noor missile was fired from the Jamaran and accidentally struck the Konarak, a general-purpose vessel.

Reports said there were 30 to 40 crew members on board the Konarak, which had recently been added to the Iranian Navy's fleet.

Jamaran / Mowj Class Multi-Purpose Guided Missile Frigate

Jamaran is armed with Noor long-range anti-ship missiles,
four of which are housed in box launchers mounted on the
roof of the upper deck level between the radar and main mast.

And, I believe the cannon in its forward turret is a 76mm.
And 76 mm converts to about a three inch gun . . .
