The Ghaem (Persian: قائم, lit. 'risen-up', also known as MIG-S-1800)[1] is a class of general-purpose patrol craft. The vessel is assembled in Iran, by Shahid Joolaee Marine Industries.[1]
Its primary operators include the Navy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps,[1] as well as the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy, which operates them in the Northern Fleet.[2] Iran has also exported Ghaem-class patrol boats to Syrian Armed Forces.[3]
