What? We need 2 just for Anadolu, we definitely need more destroyers we have 3 coastlines to defend at the very least.Aircraft carrier, Trakya and even more then 2 destroyers aren't necessary for defence of Turkiye or its waters.

My suggestion for full size carrier with two copies
55k ton displacement 275m length- Gas turbine / electric propulsion
- With fighters
- TB3
- Kızılelma
- Anka3
- Hürjet
- Kızılelma 2 (twin engine)
- Single TFX engine fighter
TCG Anadolu has very weak point defense no matter Air defense frigate covers the ship. TCG Anadolu expensive and vulnerable. Too risky.
The ship needs 4 Gökdeniz point defense systems.
4x Gökdeniz ER missiles with 35mm Autocanon would cost max 50 million USD.
İnstead of constructing new ships, i would invest money in arming.

Why combination of 35mm with missiles? What would your IIR seeker missiles do in heavy Rain?
Could someone Photoshop TCG Anadolu with 4x new point defense systems? Please
If the 55-60K displacement range is planned, then a variant derived from the MMU, not the Hürjet, is being considered as the main combat platform. The Hürjet will provide technological capability acquisition as an intermediate stage and will assume the role of the navy's training jet.My suggestion for a full size carrier with two copies

I would say a larger plane than Hürjet but not necessarily the TFX. It could be a single engine F16 size plane as well, as the TFX is a little too large for carrier operations unless they heavily rely on AI to optimize its operation aboard the ship.If the 55-60K displacement range is planned, then a variant derived from the MMU, not the Hürjet, is being considered as the main combat platform.

Blurry faces? They are not Navy personnel.
“Our people must become maritimeized. Our culture of maritime and naval affinity must progress. The sea must be part of their lives. Policies to popularize sailing and sea sports among young people should come to the fore. We should develop the dreams of our children by having them visit these ships and interact with naval personnel.”Our people must become maritimeized. Our culture of maritime and naval affinity must progress. The sea must be part of their lives. Policies to popularize sailing and sea sports among young people should come to the fore. We should develop the dreams of our children by having them visit these ships and interact with naval personnel. We should have institutes and foundations dedicated to this. Our future is in the seas. Blue Homeland is not a military doctrine, but a revolution in our minds. TCG Anadolu is a historic step for our country, not only because of the extraordinary gains it will bring to our country's defense and diplomatic capacity, but also because it will be the flag bearer of this revolution.
As with most things if you come early you'll have better luck but by the time I got in, the line was not visible. Doubt it's as crowded as first day. You can visit the first floor with the pool and some tanks and armored vehicles. Then you move to upper deck, good bit of narrow stairs, and on the upper deck you can move freely, take pictures with KE, TB3, Sea Hawk and AH1W. That's about it, you don't get to see other floors or inner parts. Foreign citizens are not allowed and you need ID, in case you want to visit.How was your experience aboard the ship? And did all the people manage to get in since I kept reading many reports and tweets on how the line reached 6 km long
So 55-60,000 tons. A full-scale carrier is coming. This also indicate that the MMU will be part of the project.President Erdogan: "We're negotiating with UK. We're going to make twice as big of that (TCG Anadolu)"
CATOBAR carriers make most sense with nuclear propulsion. The initial cost hike gets offset by the longevity and ease of maintenance of the platform. They also tend to be faster and more capable ships.So 55-60,000 tons. A full-scale carrier is coming. This also indicate that the MMU will be part of the project.
Queen Elizabeth-class STOVL carrier 65,000 tons
S. Korea's CVX project, I think, is currently progressing on a ship design of 45,000 tons. Both countries will be focusing on STOVL; and later maybe SRVL aviation (when the F-35B related tests are completed).
The Italian Cavour is also in this class, although it is a lighter ship.
We don't have access to the F-35B. It doesn't look like we will, we are moving towards our own naval fixed wing solutions. So there is a very small chance that the carrier designed will be a STOVL. We need to look at other groups.
On the angled landing deck side, the STOBAR type is not very common in western naval aviation and has been largely abandoned. India, China, are the biggest users, and plus Russia if Kuznetzov can maintain accident free operation for 2 years in a row.
I think the reason why we are moving to such a big platform is that CATOBAR aviation is the target.
The other issue is the ship propulsion system. China and India are the two countries that have both CATOBAR and non-nuclear conventional/IEP propulsion aircraft carrier projects.
I think we will be the third country in this regard. The ship will most likely not be nuclear, but in terms of sortie capacity and impact, it could be a ship of around 300 meters that can be a match for the French PA-NG project.
I think it is also worth discussing whether the British are planning to balance the Russians on the surface but also the French with the Turks in the background.
