One private shipyard was wasted because of political reasons.ok so in summary the issues with Ada Class was Naval shipyards vs Private shipyards political wrestling?
and now I have forgot who is building Istanbul class?
When I first saw the headline I was like wtf?!
This is what happens when authors and our defense industry "experts" are alien to naval-maritime terminology. Or they hesitated to use term "escorts"When I first saw the headline I was like wtf?!
-6-7 TF-2000 to replace Gabya, at least 2 will be used for Expeditionary group.8 g-class and 8 barbaros to replace so something doesnt add up here with the i-class frigates, another point is that the i-class frigates themself are 3000t which is rather low on displacement.
Is on top of the i-class frigates and tf-2000 destroyer another vessel type planned?
A ship doesn't have limited range as long as it is supplied, but its capabilities can be restricted due to sea state, the only concern would be maintenance schedule and crew's health. @Neptune could tell better if there are other matters to limit a ship's operation. But from my perspective considering naval bases on Aegean and Mediterranean seas we don't have any issues about covering our EEZ.Ada class corvette 2400 t and Istanbul class frigate 3000 t. I was thinking our Navy would want more than 4 of each.
@ANMDT could you on a map of Mavi Vatan show where Ada and Istanbul class would be active ? I was thinking a circle showing their operational range would show us if we've covered our EEZ.
I was thinking Libya (GNA) would need some vessels to cover their EEZ as well.
-6-7 TF-2000 to replace Gabya, at least 2 will be used for Expeditionary group.
-4 Barbaros class will be upgraded, will serve 15 years more.
-4 İ-class to replace 4 Yavuz Class.
In terms of firepower the fleet is already expanding.
After TF-2000 we may expect to hear another project, a compact version with multi-role abilities.
And when can we expect to have these 6-7 tf-2000 destroyers fully in service?
2026-2027* for the first, all will be in service by 2033. Now, project also depends on the schedule of surface to air missiles.And when can we expect to have these 6-7 tf-2000 destroyers fully in service?

*It could have been earlier but we will need to conduct tests with the first ship and it will cost some years.
