Türkiye has a vision for a nuclear-powered submarine that will be on the agenda in the 2040s. On the other hand, sooner or later, it will need an electromagnetic launch system for the aircraft carrier which construction has already begun. Going into a more speculative area, the Turkish navy may develop a need for heavy-class ASW frigates over joint program. Within the framework of the Trump administration's vision to support the pace of naval modernization and capacity building with allied countries, if Turkiye becomes one of the partner countries, we could receive accelerating support for some national programs within a framework of mutual benefit.
But considering our standing in the Senate and House I think the outlook for that kind of cooperation is bleak. I very much doubt that we'd be building ships for our own Navy at all. And building to strengthen our adversaries who may en up using it against us doesn't sit well with me.

Especially considering where US is going. I'd say we are in need of every Vessel leaving those shipyards, especially considering how TN has been stretching its capabilities due to insufficient vessels.

We need export contracts for our own industry and we would be building new designs for the us navy either fully or just parts. This deal or agreement would not reduce US security.

“Izmir Shipyard to Produce Warships Again

Izmir Shipyard Commander Rear Admiral Korkut Şen announced that production of the Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) is targeted to begin in 2028 following the completion of ASFAT investments.

While delivery of the first vessel to the Turkish Naval Forces is planned for 2030, the shipyard is also aimed to contribute to the National Attack Boat Project.”

FAC will then be divided between private and state shipyards. Guess they want more export contracts to fill the margins

Can’t tell how the current structure will be reshaped but like you said, definitely a capacity increase effort to meet rising domestic and foreign demand.

This is a great development if İzmir Alaybey military shipyard can construct OPV and FAC work density of other shipyards will decrease. İstanbul shipyard should concentrate on TF-2000 and MUGEM.
