It has Tulomsas name on it. It is their own engine TLM6.Does the design of the engines "that of 1000 hp " belongs to them ?

Just to clarify; The CODAG power of Ada Class is :While it's awesome that Tülomsas has been on the market for so long and are building Marine Engines. I think a slight comparison is needed to understand how close we are to e.g. supplying Milgem ADA with a domestic Marine Engine.
Milgem ADA 31,640 kW (42,430 hp) RENK (MAN) CODAG

Two big Motherf**** engine supplying the ship with 42k HP.
When we can build our own Marine engine for LDP and/or Corvettes, then we can be happy. Until then They'll be products that aren't utilized in any vessel and thus sad to say, but waste of effort because people want to see their effort be rewarded or motivation will be rock bottom, and we can go back to our assembly lines.
Tulomsas has managed to produce an operational marine diesel engine with a power output of 2400HP. Our Ada class uses 2 x 5800 HP engines.In near future we will need domestic marine engines. Yet there isn't any project for that. Especially gas turbines are the trickiest part for us. Maybe Tülomsaş can build a diesel engine but developing a gas turbine engine with high thermal efficiency seems to be impossible for us in near future. So I think we must start both turbine and diesel engine projects as quick as possible. These will take serious time.
It is 31 MW, to be honest seeing HP did confuse me for a moment .Just to clarify; The CODAG power of Ada Class is :
Total installed power is 42K HP. (That includes all 3 engines.)
The diesels are 2 x 5790 HP
The Gas turbine power is 31000 HP
It says 30844 HP (23MW) for the gas turbine as stated in here:It is 31 MW, to be honest seeing HP did confuse me for a moment .
When you work with folds of a thousand, HP doesn't really go well.

Energy efficiency is definitely important.Does energy efficiency matter at this state ? What tonnage could Tülomsas current engine be installed upon, do we have any OPV candidates ?
I haven't check the specs but this is what i can say:Energy efficiency is definitely important.
Tulomsas has produced 4 x 2400HP engines to power the largest ferry Turkey has. It is a 4000+ ton ferryboat carrying trains across Lake Van. Each engine uses about 400 litres of fuel per hour. There are 4 propellers and only a single engine can power all four propellers. As ferries go, this ferry’s engines claim to use less than all other current ones.

Feasibility of these engines in naval ships has to be looked into. But we have a factory that can build a domestic marine engine.
Not the efficiency but the size matters the mostDoes energy efficiency matter at this state ? What tonnage could Tülomsas current engine be installed upon, do we have any OPV candidates ?
Corny though it may sound, but does that mean with regard to marine engines bigger engines last longer and delivers required power due to laws of physics ? Because the laws governing the sea are pretty much set in stone and the vessels shape as well ?Not the efficiency but the size matters the most
Yes, the vessel's shape govern it first, and then it comes to reliability. A warship first dictates a power to volume ratio and then a sufficient reliability and maintenance interval, as well as ability to handle heavy duties.Corny though it may sound, but does that mean with regard to marine engines bigger engines last longer and delivers required power due to laws of physics ?
