TR Navy Conceptual & Technology-Demonstration Designs

[UkroTurk]

It is flexible among patrol level AAW-ASW-ASuW capabilities

I would say it. Decent patrol vessel.

CGI of Damen's Multi-Purpose ship designed for the Portuguese Navy. One of the main design philosophies appears to be USV/UUV operations. NRP D. João II, also known as the Multifunctional Naval Platform, will be a multipurpose ship for the Portuguese Navy, capable of carrying out surveillance operations, oceanographic research, environmental and meteorological monitoring, as well as emergency evacuation missions. Designed to sail with 48 crew members, the ship has a displacement of 6,900 tons, a total length of 107.6 m and accommodation for a battalion of soldiers when necessary. A platform roughly the size of the Bayraktar LSTs. Multi-purpose ships with a stern dock and helicopter deck, similar to a landing platform dock ship, have become increasingly important in world navies, and this has begun to include this innovation in parallel with the development of unmanned maritime.

Although the Turkish Navy has adapted by converting the navantia Athlas platform with a displacement of 28 thousand tons and a huge hangar area, as a country that is particularly looking to play a leading role in the development of unmanned marine vehicles, can these capabilities be prioritized in the design of smaller combat support, auxilarry, logistics and amphibious element ships in future?

It could be, and by all means we should have been the country that came up with this, with tens of shipyards and design bureaus we have.

We have came up with the bigger ones of such a platform, and since it didn't attract many people, it didn't progress further and projected to today.

We once had a design called LCT-H that could have been converted to a Multi purpose platform if needed. (found at: Here @Alterund

In my opinion it is about the marketing power and the "image" you set up by funding people to advertise your product. Damen's ship will be advertised as first of a kind but also note it is quite close to what China has built merely for test&research purposes.

I really love this approach. If it is possible to design it with a displacement of 7-8 thousand tons, I wish that the planning for LST 3 and 4 continue on this platform.

As a dock ship, it also has the ability to beach. On the starboard side of the ship there is a crane mechanism big enough to lower the landing boat that I'm just guessing,up to LCM-8. So it has the best of both worlds in the LST class. There is enough hangar area for 2 navalized helicopters. There is a flat deck area with at least 3 helicopter spots. There's an aft pool for at least 1 LCAC. With this well deck, flight deck and cranes, hangar areas, can have any type of UUV/USV we can think of, as well as almost any rotary wing UAV and maybe even some catapult assisted propeller UAVs can be deploy and operable. It can also have a very serious firepower with its 76mm main gun and optionally 2 CIWS, 8 cell VLS. This ship can be a very strategic asset that will serve in many different configurations in a wide range of areas from carrier task groups, to amphibious operations, disaster relief to ocean going aid campaigns, from oceanography to mine sweeping.
