1 weapon systems

Naval Factories is the Iranian Navy's Bandar Abbas shipyard complex, and open sources also describe it as Iranian Navy's Factories, NEDAJA Factories, or کارخانجات نداجا. Public reporting places it in Bandar Abbas, Hormozgan Province, and links it to construction, overhaul, and modernization work for Iran's naval fleet.

In this catalog, the builder page groups the naval-industrial context behind the connected IRIS Dena entry while staying focused on production history, shipyard identity, and the broader Mowj-class line rather than any conflict narrative.

Open sources use several names for the same Bandar Abbas shipyard, including Naval Factories, Iranian Navy's Factories, NEDAJA Factories, and کارخانجات نداجا. The profile keeps Naval Factories as the canonical facet, uses city-level headquarters data from reference and Commons metadata, and limits claims to production, repair, and shipyard context rather than any conflict narrative.
