Turkey will sign an agreement Thursday with Germany to jointly build six submarines for the Turkish Naval Forces, the semi-official Anatolia news agency reported.

The deal covers six Class-214 air-independent propulsion submarines for the Turkish Naval Forces and will significantly improve the navy's capability to undertake longer underwater operations, the report cited a statement by the German embassy in Ankara as saying.

The Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft GmbH (HDW), which is part of the German ship-building giant Thyssen Krupp Marine Systems, and Turkey's Golcuk Naval Shipyard based in the Kocaeli Province will participate in the production, said the report.

It didn't disclose financial details, but quoted Turkish Defense Minister Vecdi Gonul as saying that Turkish industrial participation in the project would be worth around 80 percent of the total value of the deal.

The HDW will preassemble structural and mechanical parts of the submarines, or classified elements such as the fuel cells and propulsion systems, in Germany and then ship them to Turkey, according to the report.

All electronic and weapon systems, including sensor, communications, and data processing systems, will be designed and produced by the Turkish side.

Senior Turkish and German government officials and naval forces commanders will attend the signing ceremony scheduled on Thursday, said the report.

ANKARA - Turkey and Germany signed an agreement Thursday to build six submarines for the Turkish Naval Forces. The deal covers six Class-214 air-independent propulsion (AIP) submarines by Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft GmbH (HDW), a part of the ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems shipbuilding group.
The new class submarines will improve significantly the capability of the Turkish Naval Forces to undertake longer under water operations.
Turkish Defence Industries Undersecretariat has said the submarines would be co-produced with maximum local content at Golcuk Naval Shipyard in Kocaeli, Turkey.
Defence Minister Vecdi Gonul has also stated that Turkish industrial participation in the project would be worth around 80 percent of the total value of the deal.
As the Turkish Type 214 will have a significant amount of Turkish indigenous systems on board, this variant of the Type 214 will be known as the Type 214TN (Turkish Navy).
HDW will preassemble structural and mechanical parts of the submarine in Germany, or classified elements such as the fuel cells and propulsion system and will then ship them to Turkey.
All electronic and weapon systems, including sensors, communications, and data processing systems, will be of Turkish design and production.
The signing ceremony brought together senior Turkish and German government officials, and naval forces commanders, including Gonul, Commander of Turkish Naval Forces Admiral Metin Atac, Undersecretary of Turkish Defense Industry Murad Bayar, Undersecretary of German Defense Ministry Thomas Kossendey, Commander of German Naval Forces Vice-Admiral Wolfgang Nolting and Chief Executive Officer of HDW Walter Freitag.
