History

During the First World War the British established HMS Euphrates, in the port city of Basra, Iraq on the river Euphrates.[2] The station was disestablished after the first world war.

After August 1941, with the success of the Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran, HMS Euphrates was reestablished at the former Iranian Navy base at Khurramshahr on the Shatt-al-Arab.[3][4] Euphrates came under command of the Senior Naval Officer, Persian Gulf, until 1945.
