Design
There is not much known confidently about these vessels. They are estimated to have a standard displacement of {{convert|30.4|t|LT|abbr=on}} and can possibly reach a top speed of {{convert|50|kn|km/h}}.{{citation|editor1-last= Saunders|editor1-first=Stephen|editor2-last=Philpott|editor2-first=Tom|chapter=Iran|title=IHS Jane's Fighting Ships 2015–2016|publisher =IHS Jane's|location=Coulsdon|date=2015|edition=116th Revised|series=Jane's Fighting Ships|page=389|isbn=9780710631435|oclc=919022075|ref={{harvid|Jane's Fighting Ships|2015–2016}}}} From measurements, only length is known to be about {{convert|21|m|abbr=on}}. Kajami class can carry two lightweight torpedoes of unknown type. According to Jane's Fighting Ships, the vessel is likely designed for a high-speed approach towards enemy on the surface, and then submerging for almost {{convert|3|m|abbr=on}} before using the snort mast for an attack.
