İki I class aynı anda üretime başlıyor, İstanbul tersanesi ise kısa zamanda TF2000'e başlıyor, diyor. 2019'da kızakta olacak diyor.
It seems The schedule is changed thanks to changing threat perception.
The private shipyard receiving MILGEM production mission, will directly produce fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth Milgems (Istanbul class frigates) with military shipyard qualified personel. According to SSM strategy, It is planned to produce two I class hulls simultaneously which makes delivery quicker than current Milgem schedule.
Istanbul shipyard is constructing fourth Milgem at present to be launched into sea in next year. The accelerated schedule enables Istanbul shipyard staff to start construction of first TF-2000 destroyers in a short time.
By 2019, Turkish shipyards will have been producing following strategic warship projects simultaneously.
-TCG Anadolu mini aircraft carrier - Sedef shipyard
-I class frigates - XXX private shipyard (RMK or Dearsan or Adik...)
-TF-2000 destroyer - Istanbul military shipyard
-Assault Boat - XXX private shipyard
-U-214TN submarine - Golcuk shipyard
-Milden domestic submarine - Golcuk shipyard, maybe finalization of design process for start production
