Ships of the Hendijan-class have been used as support vessels and in logistics roles. In recent years they have been repurposed as combatant vessels with anti-shipping weapons installed.[1] Konarak was overhauled in 2018 and was given missile-launch capability and could be used to lay mines.[4][3] Konarak had no anti-missile weaponry, though it may have had a 20 mm (0.79 in) Oerlikon cannon and four Nasr-1 anti-ship missiles.[1][2][4] It joined the Iranian naval force based at the city of Konarak on 7 October 2018.[2]
