  • Per MOS:LEADLENGTH, the lead section is too short. I recommend including some details about the service history and locations of the ship and some details about the ship and its function.
  • You need to say what 'IRIS' means. you don't mention it in the article.
  • of Iran in terms of tonnage can be changed to ...by tonnage

Design edit

  • would have a beam of... why do you say 'would have' why not just 'has'.
  • The image captioned 'vertical view of Kharg' is actually an 'aerial view'.
  • Her original navigation radar was manufactured by Decca Radar, a Decca 1229 model working on I-band needs copyediting. Saying Decca twice like this sounds a bit clunky.
  • Wikilink to Helicopter deck.
  • Her crew totals 248 officers and men. I don't know too much about ships, but surely the number of crew is subject to change? Is this considered the maximum capacity?
  • You later mention a helipad, but you previously mentioned a helo deck. This might need reordering. Also, it would be more accurate to describe it as a helo deck rather than a helipad, right?

Operational capabilities edit

  • International Institute of Strategic Studies (IISS) needs a 'the' in front of it.
  • You don't explain what AORH means.
  • classifies Kharg as AORH, i.e. fleet replenishment oiler with replenishment at sea (RAS) capability and hangar. I don't understand what is being said here. The end of the sentence especially is grammatically problematic.
  • You need to introduce Cordesman.
