Navantia offering F-100 frigate design to Turkey

[Manticore]

The Spanish Navy's F-100 class frigate SPS Blas de Lezo will call at Istanbul on 25-27 July, a move seen as part of efforts to help potentially sell the design to Turkey for its TF-2000 air defence frigate requirement.

Navantia is teaming with the US Navy and Lockheed Martin, which supplies the ship's Aegis combat system, to propose the improved F-100 Flight 2 design to meet Turkey's requirement for four anti-air warfare frigates.

With the TF-2000 feasibility study long complete, a design phase or tender could be launched by the end of the year.

The package proposed by Navantia includes Lockheed Martin's SPY-1D(V) 3D multi-function radar system and full technology transfer for local production of the ships.

It's really a great, advanced ship. I appreciate our Spanish allies gentle offer. But we need to know how to stand on our own. So we gotta go with our own design with full ToT from US as been offered before

I am sure if you could increase the orders, the Spanish would not mind giving you the ToT on much easier terms than others.

We need our own design,the times of off the shelf equipment for the navy is over(ships boats).
Infact both the Army and the Navy can be covered by indigenous production.
Only the Airforce is the problem child.

Its good to see that PN is on safer side with F-22P and a newer version F-22P Block-II will help them with modern technologies and hopefully PN will be able to manufacture a similar design small 2100 tons corvette too.

As TF-2000 air defence frigate requirement south Korean KDX-III would be much better option then F-100 .

As TF-2000 air defence frigate requirement south Korean KDX-III would be much better option then F-100 .

It is a different class of ships, KDX III is a destroyer, meanwhile F100 is a Fregate altough it had more than 6000+ ton combat wheight.

^^^ I think with 7000 ton TF-2000 will work as a AAW destroyer eventually though its categorize as frigate .

exactly...but the fuvcking nato doctrines will classify it as a frigate despite It's 7k tonnage. While some navies even classify 2k-4k as destroyer

Korea KDX3 is a rehashed Arleigh Burke. As are Japan's AEGIS ships. By contrast, Australia has adopted the smaller Spanish F100 for its Hobart class AAW destroyer requirement. After receiving tenders from Blohm + Voss, Navantia, and Gibbs & Cox, among others, the Australian government identified Gibbs & Cox's Evolved Flight II Arleigh Burke class destroyer as the preferred design in August 2005
