Despite my previous reporting and expectations the Turkish frigate TCG Oruçreis is not going to take part in the exercise Sea Breeze. Her deployment to the Black Sea must a regular one with national interests at heart.
The Milgem class corvette F-512 TCG Büyükada is going participate in the Sea Breeze according to the Turkish General Staff.

Ukraine MoD claims 5 naval ships and two border guard vessels to participate in “Sea Breeze” – but thus far has not identified them by name nor type
That Romanian ship is the old Type 22, how on earth they agreed to buy those and pay an extortionate sum of money is beyond belief. They are very expensive to run as well. Anyway, marketing (!) success.
