TR Navy Naval Programs

[BalkanTurk90]

I believe we need I-classes especially for blacksea and nearby seas for patrol and protection duties mainly and for escort duties, yet i can't seem to understand strike length VLS for gezgin and siper-2ER.

We need a mid-size frigate, yet also we are quite reluctant to develop one. Too much eggs the basket, the aircraft carrier is definitely not today's business.

The VLS of first TCG İstanbul can fire Siper 1 or siper 2 ?

I was saying Türkiye's shipbuilding capacity has to expand and good karma, 6 months on hitting 71 simultaneous builds already.

İt depends what u count as shipbulding but main warships are just 12 - 15 under constcrution others are landing ships , costat guard boats etc
We are behind Japan , S korea in shipbulding ,They can build massive destroyers and faster , We are in pair of italy i can say .
China , russia , USA are another level since they can build massive SLBM submarines & aircraft carriers

In Türkiye, warships and submarines are produced using an advanced modular/block construction method; technically, different blocks can be produced simultaneously in different private and military shipyards and then assembled at the main shipyard.

This block construction model enables private shipyards to adapt rapidly to combat ship programs. Looking at it from this perspective, the fact that the Milgem program (esp. the Istif-class frigate construction activities) has largely been transferred to private shipyards will create a great capacity leverage in the coming years. A shipyard producing frigate blocks in Yalova today will naturally be capable of producing destroyer blocks in 10 years.

Whether this was a planned strategy from the beginning or an organic evolution, the infrastructure necessary to reach a massive regional production capacity has begun to form. In my humble opinion, Turkish shipyards can become major naval hubs for friendly and allied countries in the near future. We're already starting to be associated with this position.

However, this expansion has critical secondary and tertiary dimensions. On the construction side, subsystem development, local component production, and supply chain volumes must grow in parallel. Furthermore, as the navy expands, ensuring a significant increase in qualified naval personnel and engineers is a monumental task. We need comprehensive national programs that will foster maritime consciousness and guide young minds into this.

Who doesn't? Isn't it basically industry standard?
