Dear
@Anmdt and also other forum members ;
I want to ask some question about Hisar OPVs and Ada class corvettes. If u kindly answer them, I would be grateful.
1) Why TN choose Hisar OPV size/copy same as Ada class, instead of İstif class ? Our opvs built ready to fit for future application if needed. For me, to upgrade İstif hulls have more spaces and more agile for this purpose.
2) First Ada, Heybeliada laid down at 2005 (18 years) , commissioned at 2011 (12 years), I dont know which date accepted for a MLU for ship. At near future TN any plan for them? and what kind modifications will be made? (May be they are still too new and modern so not needed in a decade)
3) I know Ada class purpose not this but as a request or wish or necessity we all want Ada Class also have more Air defence capabilities with siper missiles. Instead of integrate limited number siper missile to them (acc to some images 12, if i dont remember wrongly), why TN built istif class hulls and transfer all electronic sensors capabilities of Ada ships to new empty hulls with vertical launching system? After that we can basicly obtain an aged OPV and
like İstif class or semi İstif class ships. I think, this is cheaper and faster then making new one. If my memory not betrayed me this kind application made by İsreal Navy before they cannibalize some ships and transfer the new hulls. But i dont know the fate of old hulls.
I find the case ships : class Sa'ar 4 to Sa'ar 4.5 modifications
