-First Milden will be called Atilay

-MUGEM revised to 300M in length

-TCG Kochisar will enter inventory in May 2026

 

[TheInsider]

Milden (national submarine) became Ay class submarine
TF-2000 became Tepe class destroyer/muhrip
MUGEM length changed to 300 m. We will see whether there are any changes in displacement.

 

[Zafer]

A 300 meter carrier will have little milage with gas power

 

[Quasar]

need to check but there should be only two countries in the world with aircraft carrier length ≥ 300 m .... US and China

if you count Admiral Kuznetsov then add Russia as well

Could it be for the first Tepe? Timeline seem to match, 2030 may be a bit late though. Or possibly for the new batch of Hisars. Latest talk about them in the last month was much more firm. Ships 7-10 are probably signed for now.

Ideas? @Anmdt

Looks like the OPVs - four of them. Tepe Class (TF-2000 for newcomers) haven't passed to contract stage, yet.

$225 million FYI 2025 is highly subsidized for all the equipment (SSB had carried out all the bargain and agreements prior to this, thus contract value does not vary among the contractors) and fairly cheap, it is currently at $120-150 million per hull, with no munition. There also has been a rumor of replacing MAR-D (CENK-200N), with ARDA-X (CENK-300N) for later ships but it needs a confirmation.
