Hendijan (Persian: هندیجان, also known as MIG-S-4700) is a class of auxiliary ships operated by the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy. The first eight of this class were built by Dutch Damen Group, and the rest by Iran's Marine Industries Organization, Bandar Abbas. According to Jane's, ships of the class are tenders that are used for coastal surveillance and one of them is used as a training ship. IISS classifies all vessels as patrol boats.
