Did i miss something or wasnt it supposed to be 1+3 Tepe
Started as 4+4, was reduced to 4+3 last I saw.Did i miss something or wasnt it supposed to be 1+3 Tepe
Bro, these destroyers are essentially air defence destroyers. For escort duties 1 destroyer should suffice. Two would be OK but instead of two destroyers two frigates, one ASW specialised and one general purpose with the destroyer and a submarine or two should be enough as a carrier group. Standard complement of US carrier group is 2 destroyers and a frigate with a nuclear attack submarine (not ballistic missile one). Any additions are “mission” related.so i might js be overexaggerating the numbers we need but imo at least 12 ships would be nice to have esp if they are planning another (possibly nuclear powered) carrier

Is it a good idea to invest in the design of a new ship between Istif (113m) and Tepe (149m). Fremm is with 144m almost the same size as Tepe. We will save only marginally from material costs. But we will get a platform with wide range, flexible to use 32 or 64 Midlas, more capacity for crew, USV, and UAV or ASW capability. We can try to save from radar maybe a bit or any other high cost item where we can afford to slightly downgrade in terms of performance but designing a brand new ship of around 135m does not sound time efficient.Bro, these destroyers are essentially air defence destroyers.

Looking at the future planning of navy ; 4 Tepe Class ships are plenty. Remaining units should be mid weight, but heavier than İstif class frigates, smaller versions of Tepe Class as per @Anmdt has pointed out earlier @ post #6479 in below page.

Chinese had already had YJ-20 on Type 055s; last month they tested it on a smaller Type 052D. New 054B maybe have VLS capability also.defencehub.live
What part of the primary tasks of the Tepe class didnt you understand?Is it a good idea to invest in the design of a new ship between Istif (113m) and Tepe (149m).
