Not really. The cost of Anadolu, for example, has gone way past 1 billion dollars and currently the actual cost of the ship stands undisclosed. This is for a 25000 ton LHD which doesn't even have an air wing yet. The new conventional 280m carrier means a far larger vessel than the Anadolu. It will be even larger than the French Charles de Gaulle carrier, which cost the french 3 billion euro plus 20 years ago. For this carrier, the production cost is certainly going to cross 4 billion dollars. This is not even considering the cost of the carrier's escort group, and then there is the air wing this carrier needs and the TN will be easily spending 5-6 billion dollars or higher.Kizilelma is a CTOL aircraft.
Just by this reason alone, a proper deck is viable, unless you want to rewatch 1950s porn called jet ops from a straight deck.
Then come normal aircraft facilities, and proper hull for fleet operations(not for hauling stuff) - and we're already talking about a proper carrier.
p.s. Mediterranean is big; TN operates well beyond the sea of Marmara.
1-2 carriers, reasonable carriers, can be built for a price tag of 2-3 contemporary frigates.
If the aviation part is solved - they give to the fleet a qualitative boost that neither 4-6 nor even 20-30 frigates can ever hope to provide.
This is money that could buy 10-12 I+ class Frigates or MILDEN subs, or maybe 6 TF-2000s. I'd prefer they go for the more distributed capabilities instead of putting so many eggs in one basket.
And, as i said, I fail to see what a carrier brings to the table in a conflict in the Mediterannean, Aegean or Black sea? That is where the TN should aim to to achieve superiority before it thinks of building this kind of 'prestige project'.
Their ambition goes beyond the Med and Red Sea. Think of Africa and Asia.
I understand that. But I think this is a mistake and a very questionable diversion of resources. Power projection is useful, but not as critical as near seas naval supremacy. It is like building a B-2 plane before you have an F-35.
