Sedef Shipyard Launches 3rd Turkish Istif-class Frigate TurDef
STM- TAIS partnership launched the 3rd Istif-class frigate TCG İzmit F517. Two frigates, TCG Izmir and TCG İzmit, part of the MILGEM Project, met waters in two days.
The Turkish Defence Industry Executive Committee awarded the STM—TAIS Partnership in December 2022 to construct three Istif Class frigates. The TAIS company was established by Sedef, Anadolu, and Sefine Shipyards. A ceremony was held in April 2023 for the Turkish Navy, which received its biggest vessel, TCG Anadolu L 400. The first steel was also cut for the three frigates at the very same ceremony. The frigates were launched in two-day intervals.

Turkiye Conducts the First Exercise of 2025 as a Naval One
The Turkish Naval Forces welcomed the 2025 with an exercise. The activity took place in the Black Sea, Aegean Sea and Mediterranean Sea between 7-17 January. In addition to the headquarters activities, actual tasks are carried out in the field. This was not surprising, considering that Turkiye started the new year with the construction of an aircraft carrier, the TF-2000 destroyer and the National Submarine MILDEN.
Blue Homeland-2025 (Mavi Vatan-2025), one of the Turkish Naval Forces' planned exercises, involves land, air and naval elements. The event, which tests the affiliated commands' ability to conduct and manage operations, reasoning and decision-making in a multi-threat environment, also aims to enhance the Turkish Army's interoperation and coordination capability with other force commands.
A total of 77 combat, support and auxiliary surface ships participated in Mavi Vatan-2025. In addition, seven submarines and a fleet of 50 aircraft comprising maritime patrol aircraft, armed/unmanned aerial vehicles and rotary wing elements took part in the operation. The event, which was conducted simultaneously and practically in a multi-domain environment, also involved two underwater offence (SAT) teams, three underwater defence (SAS) teams, and coastal units from base areas, as well as coast and strait commands.
