Preparation for dealing with human crises has various aspects and one of the most important of which is the readiness to face military crises. Having a fast rescue boat can be very important and decisive. There is always the concern that if a relief vessel is to be purchased, what characteristics should it have to be able to keep up with the combat and to be properly present in unexpected maritime accidents.

In today’s asymmetric wars, it is very important to have comprehensive information about the aid vessels available in the country. This study aimed to compare the existing relief vessels in the country according to the climatic conditions of the Persian Gulf and naval missions.

Library information and the following databases includingSID, Google Scholar, Iran Medex, PubMed, and Web of Sciences were searched using the keywords including “rescue”, “naval ambulance”, and “emergency”, and “equivalent”. Their English Relief and Rescue, Marine ambulance Emergency, was performed between 2010 and 2020.

The results showed that the lifeboat has more facilities in terms of features such as safety and crew comfort than the 115th floating ambulance and rescue ambulance.

Considering the possibility of military clashes on the waterways of the Persian Gulf, due to the special situation of the region, in most cases, military and law enforcement forces are sent to the crisis point. In this regard, none of these relief media will be carried out unless a proper and efficient relief and transfer chain is established, which will be the first equipment loop of this route, standard, specialized, and fast relief vessels. In the field of relief equipment in the field of naval health, it is recommended to provide a suitable “naval ambulance” in line with the war.
