TF2000-class Frigate

The TF-2000 class Destroyer is a projected anti-air warfare destroyer currently undergoing development by the Turkish Naval Institute. The class will provide survivability in the presence of aerial threat and also support mission functions such as command, control, and communications, reconnaissance, early warning, surface warfare, anti-submarine warfare and electronic warfare. On December 5th 2007, Defence Industry Executive Committee approved plans to build six ships of this class (four fixed, two optional). In January 2013, it was announced that Turkey was now planning to acquire a total of eight TF-2000 destroyers. With the realization of the project, it is intended to improve the anti-air warfare (AAW) capabilities of the Turkish Navy.
