This Iranian gunboat, Swedish made and armed with Russian weapons, is one of two boats recovered by SEALs during Operation Earnest Will in the Persian Gulf in 1987 and 1988. One boat was recovered adrift following a brief surface engagement. This boat was sunk in an air-to-surface engagement, then recovered from a depth of over 100 feet by the SEALs. After being used for training by Special Boat Squadron One in Coronado, California, the boat was sent here for display.
