I care for being clear but when on mobile, i tend to use abbreviations and keep it short. Actually i used to mind and provide a nomenclature prior to long posts or articles.Fitted For But Not With. = FFBNW
Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat = RHIB
1905 = MCMV
The Rest I need to look up from google .
I don’t know how many of our members fluently know all these. But with age, and not being involved in some of these day in day out I personally find it difficult to follow some members’ posts.
It was asked here before from our members to write the open form of these for the benefit of us illeterates. I hope that you do that from now on if you want your articles to be fully understood by the larger number of readers.
I reply in the appropriate thread;Of course a brother can't slap the MİDLAS on a submarine the way it is. We have seen that a modified K-VLS for KSS-III is good and kicking for SRBMs.
ASFAT has already put the debut of MİLDEN with VLS with a rough mini-model of ATAMCA and we know that MİDLAS will be capable of both ATMACA and GEZGİN.
But I'm certainly gonna keep defending the idea of putting a geometrically adjsuted TAYFUN for MİDLAS as the quick strike option alongside the subsonic ones (Murat İkinci said there is some plan on that a year ago and we also know that TAYFUN's length is within strike length boundaries).
Anyway, this is kinda going off topic, just included it as it was part of the news article
How they are equipped?First of Hisar Class OPVs, TCG Akhisar is set to start its testing phase next month.

Milli karakol gemisi TCG AKHİSAR yerli ve milli silah sistemleriyle dikkat çekiyor İhlas Haber Ajansı
Mavi vatanın bekçisi açık karakol gemisi TCG AKHİSAR yerli ve milli silah sistemleriyle dikkat çekiyor. İnşası devam eden gemi yüzde 80 oranında yerlilik oranına sahip olacak. Gemi hakkında bilgi veren İstanbul Tersanesi Komutanı Tümamiral Recep Erdinç Yetkin, ”İstanbul’dan Kuveyt’e yakıt...www.iha.com.tr
News pieces still say it'll be equipped with Hisar and Atmaca, but in the link i've given Istanbul Shipyard commander admiral Yetkin only mentions the MKE 76mm gun and says Aselsan adds radars, comms equipment and close air defence systems. And he makes no mention of Roketsan.How they are equipped?
How they are equipped?
When you have systems that require significant but short bursts of electrical power like catapult or electromagnetic cannon or like connecting large ships to power grid in emergency, having such a system adds flexibility. Although these ships don't have it, when we have integrated electrical propulsion experience that will be good for future. Would have wanted to see it on TF2000 but too early for that.IMO, The new power/propulsion system is also quite important for Turkish naval industry.
"The CODELOD propulsion system, namely the diesel-electric engine combination, was preferred in OPVs. The diesel-gas turbine engine combination CODAG was preferred in MİLGEM Corvettes.
Unlike MİLGEMs, there will be no LM-2500 gas turbine engine and mechanical transmission organs in OPVs, It is understood that power transmission will be provided by electricity generation and electric motor drive.
In this way, 2 important cost items will not be present on the ships. Unlike MİLGEMs that can reach speeds of 32 knots+, OPVs will be able to reach speeds of 24 knots like TCG Ufuk.
There are warship classes in the world that use electric propulsion systems.
Instead of mechanical transmission organs, the power is converted to electrical energy and the propellers are driven by electric motors, which saves weight,There are some important advantages such as noise and vibration reduction.
It was known that some companies such as ASELSAN and MKE were working on electric drive systems in Turkey"

"fitted for but not with"News pieces still say it'll be equipped with Hisar and Atmaca
Hisar-O was also in my mind."fitted for but not with"
Do you mean a joint development between Embraer and Tusaş or a purchase?
Please, don't miss this opportunity
