MK48 launching ESSM...

Dutch variant just along one side
There are possible places, try with 2 x 8 on each side (starboard-port) of RAS station, where located on sides of hangar, nearby to the stepping deck it gets wider to fit 8 cell, or 1 x 8 VLS of self defense length (4.5 m) behind main gun. If i were chosing, i would spare the spot behind the main gun for 1 x RAM launcher, replace RAM with Gökdeniz, install MAR-D as secondary X band search radar on the exhaust funnel, and install 1 more AKR on the secondary mast before the Gökdeniz.
So this way, there would be 2 search radar one S, one X band combined to 3 AKR (one above the bridge, one on the second mast, one on Gökdeniz), 2 x 8 VLS for ESSM, RAM and Gökdeniz as dual CIWS.
I know this is not practically possible but with a new design stretched to 105-107 meters, all those can fit.

Worked a bit more, added 1x 8 cell VLS on each side, and added Mar-D
however,it has some technical issues since it is not an easy job to add VLS on existing platforms by cutting holes on the decks especiall when it is on sides of hangar and near to the hull, it needs more job,specific structural parts to alight with, or lean on.
2nd search radar Mar-D in here, has some issues with angle.
Weight balance is not assured.
It is more logical to expand the hull from midst and add vls between exhaust and SSM, but that would shift the bridge and operation room towards outer than the mid, thus will lower sea-worthiness.
It can be moved further, but i thin 0.75 - 1 length of RAM launcher would be sufficient.Could also the close proximity of the RIM-116 damage the outer coating of the ship?
Which program did you use to draw?It can be moved further, but i thin 0.75 - 1 length of RAM launcher would be sufficient.

People might find exaggerating to put MAR-D and Gökdeniz and moving RAM front side.
But i think just two side MK48 launchers with ESSM are necessary at first with minimum construction works.
Huge radar without ESSMs kinda automobile without tires

I think Mk48 or newer version Mk56 has penetration in deck from that perspective it requires the same work of amount. It requires less penetration but i don't know why Turkey is interested in Strike length which requires a lot of penetration and support, instead of Self-defense length (might be a reason to choose it, for SM2 maybe).Which program did you use to draw?

Just 250 tons and 51 m
Umkhonto uses hot launch from a tube. Crazy.
i made an efffort how much online photoshop could allow. View attachment 13409
ffforget adding light torpedos on front side offf ship/
online photoshop could allow.
Everything ok but SUNGUR .Tuzla-class is being upgraded with Roketsan DSH.

Medium range anti ship missile is under development by Roketsan. It is ideal for boats like this.

Sungur Manpad can be integrated to the ship similar to Turkmenistan NTPB project
