Comments:

GÜR class submarines have the same physical appearance and characteristics.

A contract for a second batch of PREVEZE class was signed between the Turkish Navy and HDW at 22 July 1998. The construction of S-357 GÜR was started two days later.

Turkish Navy considers these boats as a separate class because of their advanced features. These are:

  • A new fire control system integrated with the sonar
  • New data links
  • Improved target acquisition and tracking capabilities
