The design is available at Dearsan's website, but since those can deploy RHIB, could also deploy a USV within the SWL of the winch. They might also equip the ship with a heavier winch to support USV operations.

In my opinion there will be another MCMW project in the following years, where we will see a larger MCMW similar to Belgian design with multiple USV and UAV operations.

This is my source and more or less, the acquisition follows with a delay and shifts between the projects. NG-MH is given to Dearsan (for the first prototype that will go through evaluation) and will follow with MKT (MCMW) vessel designed / built either by Dearsan or another.
I just checked and they probably updated the page as it includes USVs and AUVs now, which I think is great news.

FFBNW
NG MHV
MKT
MCMV
RHIB
SWL
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 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.

For some specific case (project names) i tend to use the abbreviations since those are not generalized terms but specific to countries, and in local languages and leads to an easy access on search engines acting as a keyword. Or by time those becomes a keyword and acclaimed internationally. Like how CAFRAD is not referred as MFR, but as is.

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
I reply in the appropriate thread;

My point was it won't be MIDLAS anymore, yes it can be a member of the MIDLAS family, as in "National VLS", but it is erroneous to refer it as "MIDLAS Submarine variant".
And logically we know MIDLAS will launch Gezgin from the VLS silo, not ATMACA. Atmaca has a short range, relatively, thus it will reveal location of the submarine, on the other hand Gezgin is long range and it will not pose a threat for submarine to launch Gezgin or Tactical Missiles.

Every combat capable naval vessel launched is reason for celebration. I'm looking forward to the first seatests of Hisar, and especially looking forward to how and who is going to be commanding this vessel 😀

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.

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"

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.

Also the stand piece for KMC on the superstructure is there, I defend KMC's integration as would fill the gap of a short range ASuW missile and even provide air defence if you load SUNGUR
