After the whole SAPAN talk, I felt like I could drop in an idea of what might SAPAN 1 and SAPAN 2 look like (Too lazy to take a render at the time, need some sleep)

I would make the booster slimmer and longer and possibly introduce TVC fins.

You guys are missing this out? I waited a while for a young member to take duty of taking these screenshots out of the video

ÇAMD - MPMS (Multi-purpose mini submarine) and possible variants to be derived.

Pressure hull, manufactured at a factory:

Under the skin, and transportability by 20-foot trailer

Adaptability, to begin with a "test platform" for all needs that TN and SSB affiliated companies, or private companies may need to test at open seas, as well as paving a way to be studies for unmanned underwater vehicles.

Operated by 4 crew, 2 core crew for the submarine (one captain, one technician) and affording space for 2 onboard test personnel. Also has capability to supply 5 kWh for tested equipment. We also see a detailed see-through image here with the possible maximum layout.

A cut-view of the hull, and brief structural layout:

A detailed structural view for whom could see:

DSRV version:

SDV version:

New bonus, a midget submarine by DATUM AS, also transportable by a low-bed truck.

My personal comment would be that concepts are worth a day or two, but turning them into products takes years and a solid team behind it. A single mind cannot achieve everything, nor master all knowledge. He is enthusiastic, he has no doubts, but over-enthusiasm has its own shortcomings. For example, he should leave CONOPS to those who master it, it cannot be studied simply by using Google Maps and distance measurement. He has great knowledge of the history of submarines and mini-submarines, and he also knows the best way in which those submarines were used, or were used close to shore, depending on regulated resupply, and without having to dive so much. Rather to be made enmasse and to make green water inaccessible, not to "control". Control is the duty of what we know as submarines, which can sustain operations and extend them to months in a single shot.

Over-enthusiasm is often accompanied by the delusion of having all the knowledge, trusting no one and controlling tiny bits, which does not make for a solid team.

I hope he succeeds and I know he has great support for his vision from TN and SSB. All he needs to do is build a solid and good team, and communicate properly without provoking those who really know few subjects but master it.​

It's on my watch later tab since it was announced. Will have at it as soon as i have the time.

I listened to this talk yesterday, they are making small submarine designs to experiment concepts as it is cheaper to fail in small size. For the Turkish Navy we need stuff that will be taken seriously by the world navies.

TCG alemdar needs personel recovery vehichle from sub

If the costs can be kept low, we can both have Milden and this in numbers tho.

 

[Zafer]

These are small subs so they can justify the cost in any case as they are cost effective to experiment with. However TN needs to expand its operational reach and this can be achieved with nuclear propulsion. Also we need the subs to be able to shoot ballistic missiles to be deterrent. We basically need world class subs and not ones that can barely do basic functions in a limited capacity. Nuclear propulsion is a must for Turkiye.

I haven't watched the whole video to be honest, just the images, but at some point I caught a comparison with TB-2 and whether it could be vis-a-vis for submarines. Well I happened to notice they missed one factor, in order to be a TB2 it should both rely on COTS components, or components that can be easily procured domestically and produced by domestic sources, ease of maintenance and ease of operation to an extent that a navy or a country with no submarine force should be ready within weeks of training (with mission specialists such as weapons sensors going through an extensive training programme of course) and operate the machine safely.​

Idea is they can be transported by cargo ships or cargo planes so you could deploy them anywhere and defend the shores of a remote region. And I think we need them even more in aegean.

Not in the Med, we don't. In the Med it might even be a disadvantage. I don't think any nuclear powered subs are related to these tiny boats tho. They wouldn't even exist on the same plane. We can discuss it separately from midget subs i think.

A manned platform, a submarine nonetheless can never be like the TB2. Yes it's basically a buzzword at this point, but very off putting comparison that.

Waters around Turkiye are not really remote places. We may need them for overseas operations though. The gist of the talk is that they can experiment technologies on small subs before they are deployed on full size ones.

That's because there is mention of Milden in the same post.

First Milden class will definitely be AIP diesel electric. We have older boats that will need replacing by the time Milden is in building phase and they will use the tech they will have known by then, not nuclear with which we have no experience. In the future tho, I also think there will be attempts at SS(B)Ns under the continuation of Milden.

Yeah SSBN would be like TF2000 of milden, where first ones are like ADA class

We have came a long way on Kaan project we can do a similar progress in nuclear propulsion when the time comes.

Milden = TF2000
SSBN = Aircraft carrier

One year after GE Aerospace signed an agreement with TAIS OG-STM İş Ortaklığı in Istanbul, Türkiye, to provide LM2500 marine gas turbines for the İstif-Class frigates number 6 - 8 in the MILGEM project, an order for frigates number 9 – 12 has been initiated. GE Aerospace’s LM2500 will supply 23 MW of power to each frigate.

Great news.

-
I still don't understand why they go with this numbering scheme. All it does is to confuse the reader. Yes, Istif is the continuation of Milgem and Ada Class ships. But Ada Class is completed with all ships delivered. Just use one or the other. A layperson directly understands this as if Istif will be a 12 ship class instead of 8. Add Hisars and Ufuk and it becomes a soup with somewhere between 15 and 23 hulls. It's just confusing.
