Comments:
Improved versions of Yavuz class. The improvements such as CODOG machinery for higher top speed, are results of the lessons learned from operating Yavuz class. All vital areas of the machinery are protected with Halon 1301 fire fighting system. Most of the ship is protected against NBC by a citadel. The ships have a pre-wash capability against fallout.
The second pair was Mk 41 Mod8 VLS for Sea Sparrow. It was planed that the VLS system would be retrofitted to the first pair. But this has not yet materialized.
They have very modern command, communication, control and information (C3I) systems.
The integration of ASIST helicopter landing aid system enables this class to operate Seahawk helicopters.
Their construction was delayed by freezing of German funds by the German government.The first pair was built in Germany.
