Why are we getting 7 more of these?

Yup, Its really odd. But dont get me wrong only 2 have been officialy confirmed to be tranferred to Turkey which you can see in the picture, The USS Thach and USS Halyburton. The number 7 is claimed by a highly up-to-date Turkish military analyst called Orko, He is either the second-cabatli or cabatli is the second orko.

But why on Earth would we get more OHP-Class? Perhaps spare parts i hope...

We are gonna build TF100s and TF2000s anyway.. did Orko_8 say anything about which naval bases these new Oliver Hazard's will be stationed?

Dunno bro, Its indirect information. I got this from a couple Turks who are members at trmilitary, They say orko claims we are getting 7 of them, And thats it. But ill check it out right now actually if there is more info...

EDIT: TRMilitary • Ba

 

[LegionnairE]

This is really absurd, there's nothing on Orko_8's blog either..

If only two OHP's are to be transfered it's okay. We are to retire one last knox and one more frigate is not a problem

But expansion this size in a time when many navy officials are "inside" makes no fvcking sense to me.

Like who is going to command these six more ships?

It is a gift!

Your provided pdf says:

"...

(a) TRANSFERS BY GRANT.—The President is authorized to transfer vessels to foreign countries on a grant basis under section 516 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2321j), as follows:
...
(3) TURKEY.—To the Government of Turkey, the OLIVER HAZARD PERRY class guided missile frigates USS HALYBURTON (FFG–40) and USS THACH (FFG–43).
..."

And "22 U.S.C. 2321j" says:

"... (c) Terms of transfers
(1) No cost to recipient country
Excess defense articles may be transferred under this section without cost to the recipient country.
..."

Check this out: well it not new but check it out anyway..

BUSINESS - Turkish Navy set to build its own frigate

 

[shadow09]

orko made a mistake, only 2 not 7 (in trmilitary forum).

TN will use them as spare parts. Navy officials stated that TN won't commision any foreign ship over and over again, just after the launch of TCG Heybeliada.
