2 more "LST's" will be added to navy, not "lpd"..

LST ; L for LANDİNG.. the ship must land to shore..

-----------------------


But i agree ; because our lpd program has evolved to a lph/light carrier.. so we need LPDs.. (like adik or dokdo)..

2 LHD, 2 LPD, 4 LST would be great amphibia fleet.
 
We all know the primary purpose of Turkish LSTs. The primary objectives of these ships are to quickly and effectively transfer battalion-sized armored units to the nearby coasts, which have not been previously prepared. For the same coasts, the helicopter airborne operations and the logistics lines can also be managed from the mainland.

In my opinion, instead of the mini-LHA that cannot have any helicopter hangar and service facilities, an improved Bayraktar class with a hangar and take-off spot for two heavy helicopters will be a more effective solution. For example, a superstructure layout can be considered , such as Korea's LST. What I'm talking about is to add a helicopter operation to Bayraktar's tank landing capability, not to copy the Korean ship. Thus, design and cost risks can be reduced by common main structure.

There will already be two LHD platforms ( TCG Anadolu-2021/22, TCG Trakya 2025/2030 ) for humanitarian aid and disaster support missions.

Bro lst can have flight deck also. But this type ships not can carry a complete amdibious batallion. They just carry 15-20 tank and a little marine forces. Japan osumi class lst's like that. And this ship almost half price of the lhd's.
 
from what I see LHD, LST and LCT

RATSHIP, MOSHIP, Tanker and dry stores

Ada, Istanbul and TF-2000 and Resis SSK

for amphibious assault I would say

2 x LHD, one optimised for F35B and one for rotary

2+2 x LST

of course these warships would need a area defence escort so they need to provide some serious VLS load
