TR Naval Programs

First Milden class will definitely be AIP diesel electric. We have older boats that will need replacing by the time Milden is in building phase and they will use the tech they will have known by then, not nuclear with which we have no experience. In the future tho, I also think there will be attempts at SS(B)Ns under the continuation of Milden.

Yeah SSBN would be like TF2000 of milden, where first ones are like ADA class

We have came a long way on Kaan project we can do a similar progress in nuclear propulsion when the time comes.

Milden = TF2000
SSBN = Aircraft carrier

One year after GE Aerospace signed an agreement with TAIS OG-STM İş Ortaklığı in Istanbul, Türkiye, to provide LM2500 marine gas turbines for the İstif-Class frigates number 6 - 8 in the MILGEM project, an order for frigates number 9 – 12 has been initiated. GE Aerospace’s LM2500 will supply 23 MW of power to each frigate.

Great news.

I still don't understand why they go with this numbering scheme. All it does is to confuse the reader. Yes, Istif is the continuation of Milgem and Ada Class ships. But Ada Class is completed with all ships delivered. Just use one or the other. A layperson directly understands this as if Istif will be a 12 ship class instead of 8. Add Hisars and Ufuk and it becomes a soup with somewhere between 15 and 23 hulls. It's just confusing.

agreed...but kind of enjoying it as well.... MILGEM... guess this numbering scheme will continue till we accept the fact/ get used to the fact that now we are a ship building nation... and most probably this will coincide with the deliveries of TF 2000... I mean getting used to otherwise as you stated they have their offical designations ADA İSTİF HİSAR

 

[Sanchez]

Or they could number them like the Koreans do. Call them Milgem-I, II, III, whatever. Navy probably have their reason to call them as such but they also have a responsibility to clear confusions. Milgem as a program grew so much, we are now talking about somewhere between 24 and 35+ projected ships with exported ones, not even counting the TF2000.

Milgem stands for national ship so ada and istanbul class or Hissar class both are MILGEM

Milgem was a great thing when it was started 20 years ago with Heybeliada, now it's a family of many vessels. "National Ship" doesn't hold the same meaning when we will have 17/25+ of them in service in 2030. Sadly the naming is now outdated, no one nowadays doubts we can build our own warship and we should also get with the times.

Milden however is different, as we are yet to prove our mettle in building our own submarine. It is still relevant. "Milgem" isn't.

@Anmdt there was this memorandum of understanding with GE and TEI about '' localization regarding the production, assembly, testing, maintenance, inspection, repair and revision of the LM2500 and LM500 gas turbine families, both within the scope of export programs and programs in Turkey. it was also including opportunities to involve TEI in various design processes for potential naval programs'' and later GE Marine has signed a license agreement with TEI

For this agreement of GE Aerospace and TAIS OG-STM what is the role of TEI?
