It was a very busy day on Bosphorus today. We have seen the northbound passage of 8 Turkish mine hunters / sweepers together with the corvette TCG Büyükada and support ship TCG Işın. The fleet was escorted by Coast Guard vessels TSCG-88 and TCSG-129. I assume that Turkish Navy is going to conduct a mine warfare exercise in the Black Sea.
The frigate TCG Yavuz made a southbound passage with the likely destination of Gölcük.
