I mean since 7 are under construction, it could maybe make sense to sell one of the second batch, but selling not one but two from first batch after staff have been assigned is not nice.
The point is not all those 7 being built concurrently. The delivery of last hull safely marks 2030, or end of 2030 if everything goes as planned.
That means, TN is getting 5 frigates by 2030 and 2 more will be constructed (hopefully) to be delived by 2031.

4 of our Gabya's are not up to date, other 4 makes it barely to the end, 2 of Yavuz class frigates withdrawn from active service, for 'training' duties since it started to lack spares and maintenance, 1 one the Barbaros class goes through MLU which takes roughly 1 ½, years with acceptance procedures and above all, add the drydocking schedule. All in all, we are quite shorthanded up until 2030, despite the mobilization of entire shipbuilding capacity.

Elections are coming up, the 'defense export' numbers should be bumped up above $10B immediately, and since we somehow managed to vacuum and wipe clean the special funds spared for projects related to SSB for the alternative channels, we also need funds for giant projects - Aircraft carrier to begin with.
If there is an alternative reality in which politicians are not using defence industry as a propaganda tool, I am envious of them. Spending billions on unnecessary project while fucking over our military by gifting contracts to incompetent people because of their affiliation or selling stuff we desperately need. It fucking sucks.

Damn, I fucking wish this photo showed Anadolu and Trakya together, that would've been truly something. Keep Anadolu as it is, use it with TB3 and VTOLs and use it for recon, and purpose build Trakya for KE and Anka-3 as the strike force. Damn.

USN NAVSEA delegation visited Istanbul Shipyard Command.


I don't think this ever happened before, maybe during transfer of OHPs or earlier. Interesting to say the least; but navy did show the world that it can handle so many things all at once, sharing workload between state and private shipyards at rapid succession. There are indeed things they can learn from us. I wouldn't expect a USD based deal like export of ships or technology, maybe we can see a deal for maintenance of local USN ships in the future.

I’m wondering whether we could turn this situation into something that would work for our need for a 5T frigate as well. At the moment, it seems like there is a bottleneck in terms of cost, but if we could develop a ship designed from scratch to meet U.S. Navy requirements as well(like cabeling and other different safety requirements that made changing FREMM to Constellation is hell) and be able to sell it to them(or joint project etc), it feels like we might also open the door to production for ourselves. Of course, that’s assuming the news is accurate.

According to SSST there are two more LST on the navys plan. The timelines seem a bit wishful thinking but the numbers seem real
Bey Class ships are ancient; they could only do transport work behind the lines in a modern war. 2 new modern ships with increased USV/UAV capability would be nice to have. They wouldn't be too expensive either.

This isn't the first time this is mentioned either. I do remember an option or a future batch of Bayraktar Class ships to replace them from years ago. @Anmdt
