>Nice looking ship!
>Hi E1,Thanks. She is a beauty.
>Saturn 5,A picture of Heybeliada appeared as an identification problem over at Grand Logistics. I linked your thread about the Milgem project within my answer identifying the new corvette. To me she is simply and clearly superior to the USN LCS-1 type.
>Well duh,I should have provided the link to the thread at Grand Logistics…http://grandlogistics.blogspot.com/2010/11/ship-spotting_23.html
>It would appear that Grand Logistics really, really likes the Milgem project corvettes as demonstrated with TCG Heybeliada.Littoral Combat Ships:A Brief Comparisonhttp://grandlogistics.blogspot.com/2010/11/littoral-combat-shipsa-brief-comparison.html
>Hi D.E.Reddick,Thanks for stopping by. I have read your comments at Mike's blog with great interest.I appreciate the links you have provided. The comparison that Grand Logistics did is eye catching.Regards
>Saturn 5,I try to remember to stop by BNN every day.The Milgem corvette project appears to be producing a far more focused and yet balanced ship than the USN LCS program. I suspect that I'd far prefer having TCG Heybeliada as an escort for an ARG or convoy than any subsequent or evolutionary version of the USS Freedom (LCS-1) class of vessel (I'm not certain that it can truthfully be described as a warship).
