Up to 6 AAW Destroyers
Up to 6 ? TF-2000
6000 tons AAW destroyer. Indigenously design derived/enlarged from the TF-100 design. 4 planned (2 others in option, but maybe unlikely due to financial constraint ?, a program of 3 $ billion). Expected to be commissioned round 2018/2022, with probable +/- 30 year of life, to remain in service until 2050.
+/- 16 Destroyers/Frigates (toward fewer but bigger and indigenously ships
)
Up to 4 TF-100
Around 2500/3000 tons, Improved/enlarged Milgem corvette, with additional VLS missiles, maybe expected around 2016-2020.
4 Barbaros (Meko 200)
(Barbaros, Orucreis, Salihreis, Kemalreis). 3200 tons, 116 meters. Commissioned by 1995/2000, with probably +/- 30 year of life expected, to be retired around 2025/2030 and replaced by
4 Yavuz (Meko 200)
(Yavuz, Turgutreis, Fatih, Yildirim). 3000 tons, 110 meters. Commissioned by 1987/1989, with probable +/- 30 year of service expected, to be retired by 2017/2019 and directly ? replaced by the four TF-100 ships ?
8 G (US O.H.Perry)
(Gaziantep, Giresun, Gemlik, Gelibolu, Gokceada, Gediz, Gokova, Goksu). 4000 tons, 135 meters, Ex-US Frigates (built during 1980s). Transferred by 1997/2003, upgraded (GENESIS program) by 2007/2001. Likely to remain in service until early 2020s.
Considering that during this 2010s decade the U.S. Navy will remove from service more than 25+ O.H. Perry frigates, it is possible ? that the Turkish navy receives additional Perry's FFG.
But now this is unlikely because:
- Turkey wishes to develop its naval shipbuilding industry and build its own warships.
- The Turkish now see Perrys as old/ageing ships.
