Yavuz is going to replaced by I-Class and will be phased out from 2023/2024 on.@Anmdt
Will TN use Yavuz class till 2030s when the porduction of 10 OPVS will end? 6 burak + 4 yavuz will be replaced by 10 OPVs I think

Unfortunately that seems to be the situation. Within less than a month, two different statements.Not possible.
We should always keep in mind that first hull of each class is always the most troublesome one. Considering Reis class differs a lot from the base Type 214 design, we have more challenges ahead.Unfortunately that seems to be the situation. Within less than a month, two different statements.
9th November 2022, expected to be delivered before end of year.
6th December 2022, most likely delivery in mid 2023.
There are 5 more subs to be delivered yet.
I only hope they commission those quicker.
Same goes for the 3 I-Class frigates still to be put on a production line.
Commissioning, delivery, acceptance.We should always keep in mind that first hull of each class is always the most troublesome one. Considering Reis class differs a lot from the base Type 214 design, we have more challenges ahead.
Another factor is how TN views the "delivery" term, it doesn't always refers to commissioning but the moment when the hull is began to be operated merely by submarine personnel without technicians and experts from the component manufacturers, sometimes we hear this as "partial acceptance". In these terms it was expected to be ready, to be operated only by submarine personnel by end of the December, however the date was between February and December due to some unexpected events.
Now, the June is optimistic date for the first hull. The final commissioning ceremony may even take place in September. But the second hull will progress faster than the first and may start trials within Q4 2023 and delivered in Q1 2024.
We have waited a long time, many improvements have been made, many things have been tried for the first time, but we are finally nearing the end of Meltem-III.

What I am wondering now is what will be the next big program in the MPA field.
- Are we going to continue with a long-range narrow-body jet airliner, which has been in the planning for a very long time?
- Or will we focus on a unorthodox concept based on the interoperability of unmanned systems, for which there has been an increasing number of projects recently?
What does that mean 3000-ton?3000-ton submarine floating dock

Üstad, It will dry-dock submarines up to 3000 tons.What does that mean 3000-ton?
Usefull for subs upto 3000-ton or something else?
More explicitly, the navy wants the P-8, but the current conditions do not seem suitable for such a defense program.If I'm not mistaken Navy wants a LRMPA to be able to cover the East Med easier.
Seeing how the P-8 is impossible to be aquired by us the other sensible choice would be the Kawasaki P-1 which is expensive as hell and only in use by Japan which would mean higher maintance costs as well as the topic of Japan even greenlighting a export to us.
Maybe they are eyeing something like the LRMPA program of Pakistan.
Pakistan uses the ATR-72 (similar to us) which have been modified by RAS (Germany) (our have been modified by Leonardo). Now they have I believe aquired already two Embrear Lineage 1000 Jets to be modified into MPAs.
I think we will see a similiar path for the Navy to aquire LRMPA.
Another choice would be buy second hand hulls (737) from THY and modify them into MPAs.
So, are we buying P-8 Poseidons?and a front row ticket was purchased for the P-8 Poseidon with around 10 orders.
