On 2 April 2015, the Gabya class frigate F-495 TCG Gediz set sail from Aksaz Naval base, Marmaris for a 122 day deployment.
The highlight of this deployment will be the commemoration of the sinking of the Ottoman frigate Ertuğrul off the coast of Wakayama Prefecture in Japan.
TCG Gediz will follow he original route of Ertuğrul 125 years ago and will visit 18 different ports in 14 countries.
This is from Wikipedia:
Ertuğrul, launched in 1863, was a sailing frigate of the Ottoman Navy. While returning from a goodwill voyage from Japan in 1890, she encountered a typhoon off the coast of Wakayama Prefecture, subsequently drifted into a reef and sank. The maritime accident resulted in the loss of 533 sailors, including Admiral Ali Osman Pasha. Only sixty-nine sailors and officers survived and returned home later aboard two Japanese corvettes.
