Iranian frigate ''Alborz'' (in Persian البرز), a British-made Vosper Mark V class frigate (also known as the in Iran), was commissioned in 1971 as part of a four-ship order. The ship was originally called ''Zaal'', named after Zaal, a mythical warrior of ancient Iran (son of Sām and father of Rostam) and an important character in the Shahnameh. But after the Islamic Revolution it was renamed ''Alborz'', after the Alborz mountain range. On 1 June 1987 ''Alborz'' stopped a large bulk carrier (''Vevey'') and searched it for possible war material for Iraq. Although this was within the Iranian captain's right to do so under international law, this became known as the first search-and-seizure of the Iran–Iraq War.〔http://navsci.berkeley.edu/ns12b/Documents/Vincennes%20Case%20Study.doc〕 In January 2010 the ship was sent to the Gulf of Aden, to help protect ships from Somali Piracy.〔() 〕 In April 2015, ''Alborz'' was deployed along with the supply vessel ''Bushehr'' to Yemen. == Notes == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Iranian frigate Alborz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
