um... I think the wish for AC goes back to the late 90's when TSK we're making plans for the TN acquisition of corvettes and frigates, as you know it turned into "building our own" corvettes and frigates, and the coming TF2000 destroyer.
AC is a long term investment. Turkey's interests in the region are expanding and in the next ten years, Turkey's overseas assets will only increase. If we start this project now, by the time it's finished, there will be a big need for a carrier strike group.
That's what RTE told us in the last meeting:
Küresel savasci former naval officer evaluated the same speech and said RTE is aware of difference between LHD and AC. As such he’s convinced that it’s a real AC being talked about.
Not interesting, most of floating drydocks are capable of handling AC sized ships. Check the size of floating or conventional dry docks in Tuzla region, and you will see why it is not interesting.
nuke powered is a bit too much - we can't even build marine engines on our own - nuke powered nerede biz nerede
We first need a proper economy and some stable foreign relations... But that doesn't mean I'm against protecting our bBlue Homeland tho
not so optimistic gardas - irony off ...
