According to Fars News Agency:
Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari underlined the country's advanced naval equipment, including drones, and announced that the Navy's new home-made submarine, Fateh, will be launched this year.
Based on the Navy's plans, the Fateh submarine will be launched this year (i.e. the Iranian year March 2013-March 2014)," Sayyari told reporters in Tehran on Saturday.
“Fateh submarine, Kaman-class missile-launcher warships and Jamaran 2 destroyer will come into operation in the current year,” he told reporters.

It is assumed here Sayyari's remarks as reported by FARS refer to Sahand class frigate (Jamaran-2 build) and Sina class (Sina-7 build).
