since we're discussing our fleet's size let me give my view. We should built 6 ISTIF so that the 10 Milgem (4 ada, 6 istif) replace the 6 Burak and 4 Yavuz. The TN should push for 8 TF2000 to replace the 8 G-class. And the 4 Barbaros can stay active and relevant (with the MLU) until the mid 30s...
Our facs are underarmed compared to the greek ones. My ideal Fac55 has 76mm +8Atmaca +RAM or Korkut Ciws and a smarts mk2. 10 fac55 + 9 modernized Kilics (with a smart s) would be deadly in the aegan alongside the 16 lighter Tuzla class patrol boats (which can become Facs after a modernization)...

30% of the crew of the Charles de Gaulle carrier now has the covid19. It was headed for Libya but now it's forced to stay at Toulon. France has now just one FREMM on alert for the Irini operation. Our 4 Gabyas are for now safe
You all seems to forget the STOL option. If the F35 don't come the Anadolu won't be a VTOL jet carrier. But, a modified Hurjet with an engine powerful enough, and some modifications on the ship it could became a STOL jet carrier.
