>From Jane's Fighting Ships, 1989-90, under Iraq,
Lupo class - Hittin, Thi Qar, Al Qadisiya, Al Yarmouk
Assad class - Mussa ben Nussair, Tariq Ibn Ziad, Khalid Ibn Al Walid,
Saad
ibn Abi Waccade, Salah Ad Deen Al Ayoori
and other names like
Ibn Khaldoum
Al Adrisi
Atika
Jawada
Jane's can be an excellent source, but when a nation usually buys
(rather
than building) ships, you get few class names.
Under the Saudis,
Badr
Al Yarmook
Hitteen
Tabuk
Madina
Hofouf
Abha
Taif
Al Siddiq
Al Farouq
etc.
