Iran's Fateh class submarine
     
Fateh (Conqueror) is an Iranian designed class of semi-heavy submarines. The Iranian media reported that Fateh class subs can operate more than 200 meters below the sea surface for nearly five weeks. According to satellite imagery first boat of the class was launched in 2013 and a second one is under construction at the Bandar Anzali Naval Base on the Caspian Sea. The Fateh could be an improved version of the existing 29-meter Ghadir class that the Iranians have been building for years.
