Turkey's carrier. Basics are emerging and it looks like the roaches are cooking up some vaguely interesting stuff. Some realistic, some pipedream (F35). The plan for now appears to be STOBAR designed to be fully removable, so they can graduate to CATOBAR once their domestic system is ready.
EXIF a frick

>no catapult
>2 elevators
huh, that explains those canards
Btw, why do the Ford-class have less elevators than the Nimitz-class?
Increased efficiency, partly due to the new ammo conveyance system (which was a huge engineering problem for a long time up there with EMALS).
They did the math and realized the 4th elevator didn't get used much and actually reduced efficiency
why?
extra muscle for watermelon negotiations
To be fair Turkish melons slap
Many ask this question. So far the answer is "national pride, duh" unironically. And "we need to develop more depth and breadth in shipbuilding expertise, which we won't get building smaller classes."
Remoovable ramp, for yeeting at a date to be determined
1. Eastern Mediterranean has become more competitive with EEZ frickery and resources. This stretches back to WWI but now there's a lot of money involved and Turkey wants to flex.
2. Turkey wants to secure a position leading the drone market and part of that will be leadership in naval warfare.
The better question might not be why so much as can Turkey afford it long-term.
realistically all that sea is going to get divvied up between Greece, Egypt, Israel, Cyprus and the arabs
roaches have no say in this matter, party due to their international relations stupidity, especially recently: they have managed to piss off both the israelites and the arabs, so neither trusts them any more
this ship is not an aircraft carrier, it is more of a helicopter/drone carrier
turkey does not have any carrier-capable aircraft, and they aren't getting any
And then you woke up, dimitros
>roach gets called out
>CALL HIM GREEK
why are roaches obsessed with a country less than half their size? is it because greekbros kicked your shit on multiple occasions?
>roach roach roach
because you really loooove that word. Nigeria of europe. You guys also monitor threads about turks 24/7. No clean the toilets of your german overlords.
NTA but the only Nigeria of Europe is Puccia
t. sweden
Dude. After WWI, Greece had the whole of Turkey handed to them on a golden plate and they fumbled it. Heck, they got their shit pushed in by Attaturk. Then they got buttfricked again in Cyprus.
I sense a recurring theme in these characterizations, but I can't quite put a finger on it
To be fair they were facing uber competent Attaturk
>greekbros kicked your shit on multiple occasions?
Literally when?
turks owned greece for 600 years, defeated greeks in 1920's and won again in cyprus in 74
The only time greeks defeated turks was their war of independence but even then it was essentially russia, uk and france vs turkey
Let him cope. Things aren't looking good in reality
meanwhile, reality
What am I looking at?
Greek seething. A greek ship rammed that turkish ship.
You are looking at the pride of the turkish navy, TCG Kemal Reis, with a gaping hole in her side after being rammed by Greek frigate Limnos.
Roaches love to boast about their numbers but so do ziggers. They same thing that happened to ruzzia is gonna happen to roaches...
You mean they decimate your male population like Russia did to Ukraine, dimitros?
pic related is what happened when roaches deployed leopards in Syria
you are the only Black folk in NATO that managed to look as bad the Russians
greece is going to rape you and you know it
greeks can't go to the toilet without american assistance, sit down Black person
Jesus, slav-tier seething right there m8. Calm your breasts.
>turkey does not have any carrier-capable aircraft, and they aren't getting any
Let's say, hypothetically,
MiG-29K is always an option
>Ramp
HAHAHAHA
Are catapults not an option for everyone except mutts?
Too expensive / complicated?
Why not?
They're a waste.
Why tho?
because his country can't build them and he needs to cope
Very complex and finnicky. Not realistic for anyone but those who can ensure that they'll be doing carrier flight ops with tempo x.
Keeping all the engineering and maintenance structure around for full-fledged carriers is quite the undertaking, so you want to avoid making that commitment until you're absolutely sure that you can sustain the footprint.
Doing it like they're hinting they intend to do it, first with a modular ramp and then replacing the ramp with catapults, makes sense for a growing navy.
>Turkey's carrier
eempreesif
I hope they keep the giant star and crescent on the real thing, it's kino
Great visual whenever norf FC people need to go "why is turkey in nato????" too.
>Turkey
>Able to bankroll a decent carrier
Lmao. Maybe a ramp design using coal without lifts based on a freighter structure.
It's a single ship and they no time pressure on delivery. Not that complicated to work it out, sooner or later.
Okay roach.
Some of you homosexuals, think that the next superpower will be some third world shithole like India, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico or Nigeria. However, it will not be these street shitting countries nor the UK and Japan, which are old and the dogs of the US.
In reality, the country with the most potential to become the rival to the US, China, EU and Russia, is not any of the above, but Turkey (or Türkiye as they would now like to be called.)
They are the only country with a truly independent foreign policy (in being hated by all their neighbors and the major global superpowers) and the power to intervene in all three continents Europe, Africa and Asia. Turkish intervention has proven decisive in Syria, Libya and now in Ukraine. Given Russia's current weakness, it is only a matter of time before they too are humiliated by Turkey. Turkey defies both the US and EU at will, shits on the homosexual Gayreek-Egyptian- Israeli-Arab-French alliance created to contain it, and even has the capability to threaten China over the Uyghur issue. EU can be brought to its knees at any time by Turkey unleashing refugees upon it.
Some of you may say, Turkish economy is in the shitter and cannot support these ambitions. But Turkey has a power greater than currency - the power .... of imagination
For what purpose? Greece isn't that far away.
It's for Med-sea and North-Africa in general. All that we-wuzzing and larping aside Greece isn't that much of a threat to Turkey.
How will the carrier even be able to leave Turkish waters with all the Greek islands in the way that can be full of missiles? The French are coopting the Gayreeks into the anti-Turkish coalition they are building with Egypt, Israel, Cyprus and the UAE
>How will the carrier even be able to leave Turkish waters
How do other turkish warships leave?
>coalition
>Egypt, Israel, Cyprus
Meme coalition tbh.
Israel might be a serious adversary with how much gibs they get from americans. The rest are meme tier I agree
>You were born just in time to see carrier operations in the Turkish-Iranian war
All is going to Azari plans.
It'll just sail to the Libyan coast and bomb military/civilian targets in Tobruk or otherwise do maritime patrols. Nobody is starting war over this by sinking it and Turkey has the right to free passage.
>Israel
>Serious Navy
STOBAR is operating drones anywhere the Turkish Navy can really expect to see action. It's not going into the Pacific or Atlantic anytime soon.
A. Fricking. Ramp. Kek.
Turkey is basically the South Korea of Europe and MENA. The only country that could even come close in conventional power is Poland. There should be Turkshills on this board the same way there are for Korea
