Turkish Navy

Since Turkey seems to be in the spot light I think it's not a better time to give a introduction to the new massive modernisation of the Turkish Navy, all ships are to be constructed in Turkish shipyards where possible using only Turkish systems

They have under construction
1 x Moship
2 x Ratships
1 x Replenishment tanker
8 x Landing tank ships
2 x LST
1 x LPD
16 x Patrol ships
8 x Ada class corvettes
8 x FFGs
6 x Type 214 SSK

Moship
Rolls-Royce and Istanbul Shipyard will be working together following their announcement today of an award by the Turkish Navy for three new ships. Istanbul Shipyard will design and build one Submarine Rescue Mother Ship (MOSHIP) and two Rescue and Towing Ships at their yard in Tuzla, and Rolls-Royce will supply tunnel thrusters and retractable thrusters for all three vessels. In addition Rolls-Royce Azipull main propulsion thrusters will be supplied for the MOSHIP.


MOSHIP is a dedicated submarine rescue mother ship designed to perform subsea and surface search and rescue missions in various sea conditions. This vessel is capable of detecting distressed submarines, providing life support including ventilation and pod posting, evacuating her crew up to 600 meters of depth and transferring them under pressure up to 5 Bar.

Operational Capabilities Include:

• Search and rescue up to and including sea state 6
• Sea bottom imaging, high acoustic capabilities
• Towed Side Scan Sonar (TSSS) operations
• Detecting the distressed submarine
• Position keeping at 4 knots current and sea state 4 with Class II Dynamic Positioning System
• Providing life support to the crew including ELSS pod posting
• External ventilation (up to 600 m. depth)
• Dissub personnel rescue (up to 600 m. depth)
• Transferring under pressure
• Treating diving diseases with post modern decompression/ recompression pressure chambers and extensive hospital facilities
• Twin interconnected, L-type SRV connectible pressure chambers for 32 rescuees
• Acting as a medevac station with her heli-deck, capable of operating around the clock, up to sea state 4
• A clear aft deck area of 650 m2
• Operating with certified US SRDRS system with built-in A-frame of US SRDRS SRV and hydraulic/ telescopic crane of 35 tons capacity
• Operating with certified NATO NSRS system
• Atmospheric Diving Suit (ADS) operations
• Submarine Rescue Chamber (SRC) operations
• Personnel Transfer Capsule (PTC) operations
• Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) operations
• Acting as a medevac station with her heli-deck, capable of operating around the clock, up to sea state 4
• A clear aft deck area of 650 m2
• Operating with certified US SRDRS system with built-in A-frame of US SRDRS SRV and hydraulic/ telescopic crane of 35 tons capacity
• Operating with certified NATO NSRS system
• Atmospheric Diving Suit (ADS) operations
• Submarine Rescue Chamber (SRC) operations

Re: Turkish Navy

Ratship

It is a dedicated submarine rescue intervention ship to perform subsea and surface search and rescue missions, open sea towing operations and fire fighting up to and including sea state 6. She is equipped with a twin controlled pitch propeller (CPP) system, aft and bow tunnel thrusters and a retractable thruster, which allows high manoeuvrability and accurate position keeping capability. The RatShip is a monohull vessel with 68m overall lengths, 14m beams and 4m draughts. With a displacement of around 1,95o tons she will have enough space for 104 personnel. She can attain the same speed and endurance levels of the MoShip. The RatShips will be equipped with a locally designed and developed Gelibolu ROV and an ADS for underwater rescue missions but they can be used in torpedo firing exercises as a target ship and picking up/recovering torpedoes from the sea during the torpedo firing exercises. In towing missions the RatShip shall tow a minimum 25.ooo tons vessel at minimum speed of 4 knots. Her additional roles include subsea welding up to 1oom, fire fighting (with 5 water/foam monitors), support for submarine rescue operations and offshore towing operations. The RatShip has 46om2 clear aft deck and a 12 tons capacity hydraulic/telescopic crane.

Protestors confront Greek riot police in Syntagma Square in Athens during a violent protest against the visit of Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel, October 9, 2012. Tens of thousands of angry Greek protesters filled the streets of Athens on Tuesday to greet German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who offered sympathy but no promise of further aid on her first visit since the euro crisis erupted three years ago.

Not good ^^^ or smart.

Germany's Angela Merkel arrived in Greece on her first visit since Europe's debt crisis erupted here three years ago, braving protests to deliver a message of support - but no new money - to a nation hammered by recession and fighting to stay in the euro.

Hmm... I think the ship in the background is a Daring class destroyer? It certainly doesn't look like a Burke.

I think that is HMS Dauntless. the photo probably was taken from the USS Gravely (DDG 107) or USS Anzio (CG 68).
