Translated from Mr. Emre Koray GENÇSOY's Linkedin Post (He's Naval Platforms Tecnical Manager at ASFAT, Turkey):

"At the launching ceremony of TCG Istanbul, the first ship of the İ-Class, held at the end of January 2021, PNS BABUR, with 6 blocks visible on the slipway, is ready to launch after 7 months with 37 blocks.

We sincerely congratulate the Istanbul Shipyard Command, which completed the construction with a superior performance, especially the Asfat personnel who struggled tirelessly for this cause, our design stakeholder Navtek, who did not give up the fight despite the changing design, and all our subsystem providers and subcontractors who continued to work under Covid conditions.
It was a difficult work, but thanks to the planning and collaborative method, we were able to take this rope proudly together.

It was a difficult work, but thanks to the planning and collaborative method, we were able to take this rope proudly together.
Now we have a busy year ahead of us; while aiming to quickly complete the remaining activities and start the tests, at the same time; We continue our struggle on a difficult schedule, as there is 9 months for the launching of ship 3 in Karachi and 13 months for the launching of ship 2 in ITK.
In addition to all these, we are proud of the fact that the steel cutting of TCG AKHİSAR, which is the first ship of the Offshore Patrol Ship project, whose critical design activities continue, will be carried out together with this launching ceremony.
The range is long, the goals are big, we still have a long way to go. With our team that aims to walk together with all stakeholders and is getting stronger day by day, we are determined to take every step to reach this goal.
The result so far; It is a clear proof of what can be done when action is taken in a planned manner, together with all project stakeholders.

Common goal, common success..."

May God be your helper...

PS: According to information received, both Pakistani and Turkish presidents will be attending to the ceremnony.

This has been a very difficult and very successful project so far. The design changes in mid-production are really hard to cope with. It might seem easy but making calculations for Chinese systems and replacing them with British systems in mid-production is a hell to go through. Most other countries would have delayed the project a lot and came up with additional costs. Others would have outright rejected the design changes as they are not in the contract. This proves the level of versatility Turkish design has and the professionalism of Turkish engineers and experts.

Beautiful mashallah.
The start of great projects between the two brothers Turkey and Pakistan.
What a fantastic ship. I can't wait for the other three, then of course the Jinnah class.
Thank you to the brothers for the wonderful pictures and videos.

@Waz @Bilal Khan(Quwa)
Is there any updates on the progress of the first hull that is under construction in KSEW? That should be launched in January or even in December so it may have already shaped up.
