Joshan () has been the name of a number of Iranian naval vessels. The latest Joshan is P225, an Iranian fast attack/patrol missile boat claimed by the Iranian government as one of the best PT boats in the world. It was named for a vessel that was sunk by missiles fired from the Simpson (FFG-56) during Operation Praying Mantis in the Persian Gulf on April 18, 1988. The new Joshan's launch was timed to coincide with Sacred Defense Week (Sept. 22-28) and took place at Noshahr’s Imam Khomeini Marine Sciences University.
