Dont we need the 4/5k ton frigates if we want to become a ''blue water'' navy?
Lets face it ,TF-2000 alone wont cut it.
AC,2 TF-2000,1/2 Milden,1 LSS and then what?
The old OHP's?
How to form a battle group?
Think of TF-2000 as a three-block program. Currently we are preparing for construction of 4 that will make the middle-tier AAW Destroyer functions. It will have a block with less weapon, sensors and multi-mission capabilities (through a multi-mission bay) version and an enlarged higher block version with more sensors, and better EW capability.

TCG Izmir (Second Ship)


@Anmdt
With the speed these are being built could we see them being handed over to the Navy for tests next year?
The outfitting is the most difficult stage of all. Looking at these pictures, I can't figure out if they have used fitted out blocks like Istanbul Naval Shipyard is capable of. I would say towards the end of the year we can see them fully outfitted and delivered to Navy in H1, and H2 2026 (or more like not commissioned but manned by Navy) and H1 2027 for the third. 6 months off seems plausible to me. Add 6 to 12 months per ship for sea trials and testing. 6 months offset is considered necessary due to logistics and manning the process of equipment installation / outfitting, port acceptance tests and so on.

So approximately:
#HullSails at (Sea Trial)Commissioned

2ndH2 2026H2 2027
3rdH1 2027H1 2028
4thH2 2027H2 2028
5thH1 2028H1 2029
6thH2 2028H2 2029
7thH1 2029H1 2030
