After Anadolu became online, it was a matter of time. Finally. There's also a new, second marine infantry brigade now. Former 1. marine training regiment in İskenderun, Hatay was raised to brigade level.

Amfibic Commando Corps established in Çanakkale

The amphibious force organization we have been waiting for years is finally coming to fruition? I guess now we can finally see the Amphibious Armored and mechanized brigades. IMO, the appointment of rear admiral Serhat Sözbir, our last Amphibious Task Group Commander(The Amphibious Marine Infantry Brigade and the Amphibious Ships Command were already forming the Amphibious Task Group Command), as the Amphibious Corps Force Commander in Çanakkale; and on the other hand the appointment of Rear Admiral Ali Tuna Baysal, Commander of Gölcük Naval Main Base (One of the two most critical naval bases in terms of technical and maintenance services), as the Commander of the Mediterranean Region, are both important signs about how the modernization of the Turkish naval forces on a platform basis will proceed and the Blue Homeland policies in the coming period.

IMHO we need 1 more marine brigade. Amphibic Commando Corps should have 3 brigades. 1 in İzmir Foça, 1 in İskenderun and another one in Muğla.

 

[Brave Janissary]

How much lst and lct required for 1 amfibic commando brigade?

He did make a video about Reis class subs, the guy is a former Submarine sailor. So this is not normal opinion from a youtuber...

 

[Sanchez]

This is from his members only section couple months ago so some of the info is already outdated.

Excellent progress on TCG İzmit I class frigate.

Sedef Shipyard is building 2 I class frigates in parallel and the steel-cutting ceremony is done for the 10th Milgem ship/6th I class frigate. (4x Ada class, 4x initial I class+4x additional I class)

This is pretty good content. I learned things about I-class that I didn't know before. I didn't understand why he said this ship is not built for anti-submarine warfare, though. That is obviously not the reason for existence of this ship, but he reached that conclusion after saying active sonar was pretty good.

Marine/Amphibious Corps will have 3 brigades:
"As for the establishment of an Amphibious Corps in Çanakkale, such a decision was taken in accordance with the developing and strengthening force structure of our Naval Forces. In order to reorganize the Marine Corps at the Corps level, which consists of three brigades, and to use amphibious elements effectively in different regions, the Amphibious Corps Command was established within the Naval Forces Command."

Looks like Oruç reis have a almost 360 degree 100 km x band radar coverage with help of back mar-d and gökdeniz mar-d search radar on front.

250 km s band pesa coverage for horizon search
100 km x band aesa coverage for volume search
100-120 km x band fire control radar.

Looks like good sensor mix for a light air defence frigate.

If siper will launch from mk-41 vls;

127mm cannon
10x Siper
24x Essm
12x Atmaca B2 (with Land Attack Capability)
6x Mark series Mark-46

Good mix.

What about 3 other mekos warships upgrade ? No news about them yet

Correct me If i remember wrong but 2 Track-IIA(Barbaros and Oruçreis) vessels only have 8 cell Mk41s, while for Track-IIBs(Salihreis and Kemalreis) it's 16.

MLU requires taking the ship from active service for at least a year. Oruçreis is out of action for more than 2 years at this point, going for almost 3. The program was already delayed by about a year in 2019 as the ship was required for operations. We know that program is well underway for the other ships but I don't think we will see any action on them before Oruçreis is delivered. As Yavuz and Fatih are now training ships, they might even wait until 2nd and 3rd Istifs are delivered to start the work on the other 3.

I would like to see an amphibious brigade established in the Eastern Black Sea region. Thus, there will be an amphibious brigade headquarters in every sea in our country.

Also, I would like to see major naval base in Sürmene. Current sitiution in harbour mostly idle, whole area can be allocated to the naval forces, not partially but completely. So thus Navy can gain another important shipyard, just like Alaybey. This region also has a traditionally important culture of shipbuilding and repair activities, with generations of families working in this field, which could be instrumentalized for naval forces.

I would especially like the naval forces to have a strong presence in this region with training and support elements, even if not combatant, in our highly nationalistic and traditionally maritime region. The people of the Eastern Black Sea region are in love with their soldiers. In fact, it could be one of the most beautiful places in the country for military personnel to live with their families.According to many criteria such as geopolitical conditions of our country, political relations, and the depth of territorial waters, it can be a very valuable training area. As a matter of fact, ballistic firing tests conducted from Rize have recently been popular.

Yes. For this reason using Track-2’s stop gap of air defence frigate with İ classes and using Track I’s asw/asuw frigate more smarter. But diveding all class is very hard situation.

"USS Wasp (LHD 1) and USS Oak Hill (LSD 51) of the Wasp Amphibious Ready Group (WSP ARG)-24th Marine Expeditionary Unit operate together with TCG Anadolu (L 400) and TCG Gokova (F-496) in the Mediterranean Sea."

Pretty light a/c load on the Anadolu, can see only two Seahawks. Wasp is here to shore up marine contingent support against Hezbollah. As they're going for light fleet maneuvers now instead, looks like Americans don't expect much retaliation.

They are probably configured for evacuation and enabling of hostage rescue operations. They are carrying the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) Special Operations Capable (SOC). If SHTF we may also see the first mission of Anadolu in this context, assisting evacuations.

The Turkish Navy already has an experience in Lebanon in this kind of events.

If we see say some V-22 action on the Anadolu, that'd be a good sign that is the nature of the exercise. From what's published so far, it just looks like a simple stroll.
