The first Iranian Navy vessel (Nedaja) vessel to arrive in Simon’s Town was the converted tanker and forward base ship IRINS Makran (K441). As a converted oil tanker, IRINS Makran could be particularly useful during the exercise if drills are to be practiced on how to fend off boarding attempts on dark fleet vessels. It was later joined by the Bayandor Class corvette IRINS Naghdi (F82) and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy's own converted oil tanker, IRIS Shahid Mahdavi (L110-3), which serves as an expeditionary sea base.

Classified as a destroyer by the IRIN, the vessel is the third of the navy's Mowj derivates of the Alvand-class light frigates that were built in the UK for Iran in the 1960s. Sahand has the same name and number (74) as the original Alvand-class vessel sunk by the US Navy in 1988.
