So that’s what happened to it. Mk46 is a venerable beast and is probably enough for our all needs. But in a world where Dzkk will operate in all seas and near oceans, and with the hopefully soon to be enlarged “fleet air arm” in more ASW helicopters, one thinks cutting the dependence on US in such strategic weapons should be a priority. We made Akya, we should be able to make an Orka Mk II as well.
As long as it can be launched without surfacing then yes. Practically, if deployed via fiber-optics, the AUV-UUV could make use of seeker's data to quick-look instead of deploying a periscope. But due to the cooled nature* of Sungur's seeker, that would reduce the time which seeker effectively guided to the target. Thinking of Orka sized capsule, 4 Sungurs may be deployed to the surface and each seeker may cover 90 degrees to cover a panoramic view and then set a way point for each missile towards a target (locking individually before launch).
I think ORKA comes more challenging here, they want to attain higher speeds, more automation (since the torpedo is on its on following the launch unlike AKYA which can be set with a fiber-optic cable) and faces more limitations (to be carried by helicopters and endure splash downs and stay at certain dimension limits) and also for the depths which the torpedo should be able to follow. I think they are also foreseeing a winged use with drones on latter stages so they try to make it all fit.
Is this Aziz guy and the government on bad terms? If so, why?
We may recall what projects has been present and given to private shipyards and which of them could have been secured (technically) by Dearsan from 2013-2023. I don't have a complete list.
No idea why he said it.
All in all the shipyard has an enormous income, profit or deposit. I wouldn't be surprised to see him acquiring another shipyard for a larger project.No idea why he said it.

I hope Turkish navy order more bigger frigates from dearsan
dearsan has not capable for building ships more than 100m , this news shoul be related to hisar class
www.defenceturk.net
So all I class may be delivered by 2028? That's niceThe I-Class Frigate programme is proceeding with the second batch of the 4 ships, after the 9th and 10th ships’ keels have been laid and first steel cuttings have been performed at Sedef shipyards.Yeni İstif sınıfı fırkateynin inşasına başlandı!
Bu yılın 1 Temmuz Denizcilik ve Kabotaj Bayramı, Türk deniz sanayiinin gurur verici bir başarısı ile taçlandı. Türkiye'nin denizcilik sanayisindeki başarısını bir kez daha gözler önüne seren, TCG İzmit sonrası yapılacak olan 10 numaralı istif sınıfı fırkateynin sac kesim töreni gerçekleştirildi.
The F515, as Milgem 5 ship is now finished and joined the fleet, and F516 to F518 are being produced at the same time in three different shipyards.
Recently it was decided to add 4 more I-Class frigates to the naval force. First two of these four ships are now physically in production.

Let’s hope that the work on the next 2 ships are started soon too.
More importantly, the work on the Reis Class also is not delayed any further.
Once completed these ships and submarines will be the backbone of our modern navy.
The goal is probably to deliver all I-Class by 2028-2030 and then start production of the first TF-2000 destroyer.
But I think he too said we won't see production start until the end of this decade, there also was a article a couple months ago I linked here that pretty much stated the same.
