STM and TAIS Launch TCG Akdeniz Frigate at Anadolu Shipyard
Fifth I-class frigate and the first in the additional batch, TCG Akdeniz (F-519), built under the partnership of STM and TAIS Shipyards, has met the sea.
The first from the additional batch of MİLGEM I-class frigates, TCG Akdeniz, has been launched at Anadolu Shipyard. Like the second to fourth ships, TCG Akdeniz also has a longitudally extended housing for MİLDAS VLS.
The additional batch of I-class frigates consists of another four ships, which has raised the total number of I-class frigates to be operated by the Turkish Navy to eight.
The second I-class frigate, TCG İzmit (F-516), is expected to be delivered in 2026.
