I am on the team saying 4 Frigates with AAW configuration would help us a lot. Especially considering Türkiyes location. I'd not put all my eggs are n same basket.

That covers Türkiye,right?
What about the future possibilites?

I am almost on your team.
Since we have started building Tepe Class, there should be 2 of them in total. (Same with TCG Anadolu ; they should build TCG Trakya with an effective runway of 230metres operating arresting wires for KE and Anka-3).
In stead there should be 4 to 6 x 5000 ton frigates.
With 8 x İstif Class and until we add new ships to the fleet 4 x Barbaros MLUs (cheaper than building new İstif) should suffice.

As combatants
4 x Ada
8 x Hisar
8 x İstif
4 x Barbaros MLU
4 - 6 x 5000 ton frigates
2 x Tepe
2 x LHDs

We should focus on more submarines for the Navy too.

Main focus should be directed towards airforce. Stealth aircraft should be the centre of our main focal point. All stops should be lifted when it comes to stealth aircraft’s and their engine development.

Arleigh burke are also 2 billion a piece. Putting multiple siper system equivalent on a huge ship will obviously cost a lot. But we do need at least 4

Milden coming,no?

Place them on the LHDs in side-baskets like Italians do. You don’t spend target practice platforms costing over billions to carry Siper missiles.
May be in time we will have more Tepe destroyers. But not now when we need to focus on our airforce.

Milden coming,no?

Hopefully. They have already cut Steel.

Bro,
I am no naval engineer. But with little knowledge I have for sailing boats, I can say that downsizing Tepe like Milgem may not be possible.
Tepe Class has design measurements of:
149m length
21.3m width
5.75m draught

This gives it a tonnage of 8600tons. That width and draught gives it the stability it needs for that length and weight.

You can’t keep those measurements and produce a 5000 ton frigate.

You misunderstood me, i didn‘t say turning Tepe-class hull into a 5000t frigate.

The 5000t frigate i was refering is that „final block“ @Anmdt mentioned in the second paragraph. He said it will be procured after the multi mission frigate.

However, I am ascertain that the later block will be downgraded to serve as multi-purpose frigate and won't be referred as "Tepe Class". Costing nearly half, 6-8 of these will be procured.

And there will be a final block which will be procured after the multi purpose frigate, and it will be something else, possibly 2 or 3 of these dedicated to BMD.
