What you are talking about is "Open Source Intel".

I'm actually writing a paper up on the Iranian Navy using among other things Google Earth for gathering intel. Five others are also working on different aspects of the Iranian Military.

You miss ID a few of those ships, Those four mini-subs are the Ghadir class boats and the Kilo is correct. But the "Joshan" appears to be a Hendijan class AG, The "Frigates" are Hengam LSTs, looks like 3 Delvars two are munitions lighters, I'm guessing the boat with the square bow is a Nezami Ganjavi LCU, not sure what the boat on the far left is probably just a coastal transport.

EDIT the second pic shows Thoudar PCFGs of the IRGCN. not sure what the smaller ship is, probably just a Boghammer clone.
