We really don't have any nuances in Turkish when it comes to LHD and AC "Ucak gemisi" perhaps we should go with "Ucak Vapuru"

Mr. Erdoğan: "Our first aircraft carrier associated with the Navantia is not actually large-scale. We will do the large scale from now on. We are already in agreement with my dear friend (Sánchez) on this matter. Hopefully, we plan to build a large aircraft carrier after the current aircraft carrier.
Maybe with that we'll have the case to get into the submarine thing. We talked about these in detail with my dear friend and friend. And we will take these steps.
And there is a lot we can do together in the defense industry. We have the chance to take many steps on these issues such as UAV, SİHA, AKINCI, and we will have the opportunity to share Spain's own products in the same way."
Erdoğan clearly said Akıncı instead of simply saying UAVs, must be pimping Akıncı out.Spain - next customer for Turkish drones ?

Give up national production?
That will not make any gains as the US has no interest in helping Turkey grow its power anyway.
We can use the money to beef up our production and diversify our systems.
You can't fight the enemy buying their weapons.Which national products are we giving up? F35s supposed to fly together with MMU, F16s also expected to get an upgrade eventually. There is no immediate alternative exists for E-7A or Poseidon. You can't produce everything and you shouldn't split your resources to many projects. More Ch47s also need or will be (it was a downsized order), Jet engine MPA needed, F16 upgrade become a necessity. SM3 is supposed to be in TF2000 like MK-41, if they didn't put an embargo, Turkey would buy these anyway. Time is money as well, some stuff you still need to buy from US. Nobody said give up nationalization.
A little change on TCG-Istanbul has gone unnoticed by people. The secondary mast (with IFF) on rear of the exhaust funnel has been relocated to the ahead of the funnel and the LPI radar on top of the secondary mast has also been relocated to the rear side of the main mast. The comm systems remain in place on the sides of the secondary mast.
- It may indicate the secondary mast is likely to be used for VHF/UHF comms, ELINT/COMINT or jammers in future.
- This also may be related to the rise of the exhaust gas and the electronics were prone to be affected.
To me, the first reason is more-likely, they aremaking some space for future integrations. Nazar-L was also rumored and we will see how and where it goes.
It also could be vice-versa, but STM also posted a recent image that shows it as the most-recent configuration:

TF-2000 will have, I-Class will receive later.Do we have C-ESM or C-ECM for naval platforms?
Thanks for replyingTF-2000 will have, I-Class will receive later.
TCG-Ufuk is technically a floating sensor.
