Technically, yes, they have overlapping purposes, and Mine Hunters are the past, while Countermeasure Ships are the future trend.

In practice, however, hunters tend to be more agile and maneuverable, made of non-magnetic steel, with tighter operational noise levels and special materials, designed to enter mined areas and keep them clean. While countermeasure vessels do the same but are made larger, less agile, classic materials and less complexity, more equipment and often keeps a distance to mined areas and use auxiliaries to reach.

Thanks for the clarification, mate!

Finally our first look to the new MCMV. I'm seeing a Marlin USV!

The first domestic Yaw Damping System, designed and produced by STM with national resources in Turkey, received its product certificate from Türk Loydu, a certification body that is a member of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS).



Roll Damping System of surface warships; It ensures that the platforms continue their combat missions safely under adverse environmental conditions by absorbing the forces they are exposed to due to external factors such as wind, waves, currents and storms.



The Roll Damping System, which we developed in cooperation with Robotek, accompanies the challenging missions of our national warships.

Another slide previously unseen showing the mission loadout of the MCMV. Multiple types of UUVs, ability to carry 2 USVs as well as 2 RHIBs.

Also an infographic detailing the weapon loadout for the Hisar Class OPVs, which have some very interesting changes, which does make me curious. First is the MIDLAS VLS placement instead of an actual Hisar/Sapan launcher akin to a ground based launcher. Second is the pedestal launcher behind the main gun. This location was shown as a place to install missile launchers like Yalman in the past to install missiles like Umtas-GM for engagements up to 30kms but on this version it's shown with Roketsan's ASW rocket launcher like on the Tuzla class boats. Very interesting. @Anmdt

Two changes from Asfat's design;
Tübitak Yelkovan is replaced by Aselsan ARES-2N/L (also being used on Qatari FACM)
Unirobotics stabilized* gun replaced by Aselsan STAMP

This is not certain, Dearsan does not have authority to change suppliers, all is predefined by SSB.

Unirobotics ? But since it's aselsan is it good enough ?

Container space on deck for optional capabilities or logistics. Huge closed area and multiple crane equipment for 2 USVs in addition to multiple RHIBs. Also can have large number of towed or autonomous underwater vehicles that many of types inc from sonars to other analysis vehicles, from cable cutters to mine detonating vehicles etc . Sophisticated hull mounted sonar configuration and networked fleet data integration with Advent CMS. MCM vessels can also be seen as highly capable patrol/support vessels if needed, am I wrong?

Theoretically, showed design can operate with more than 10 robotic, autonomous or semi-autonomous underwater and surface systems load. And even container space can be configured for VTOL/rotary-wing UAVs if needed. Perhaps a LIDAR based minipod could be developed for near-surface classification and localization, for sub-cloud UAVs.
