One of the most interesting presentations of the 7. Naval System Seminar was done by Undersecretariat for Defence Industries (UDI). The topic of it was the future shipbuilding projects.
The organisers of Naval System Seminar prepared a CD containing the presentations done during it. It is a useful thing if you want to reread any particular presentation(s) later at home.
However the UDI was either too lazy or too arrogant to send the presentation to the organisers so their presentation is not included in the CD. Therefore you have to be content with the table I have preapred from my notes and memory.
There are 20 acquisition projects related to Turkish navy and Turkish coast guard. Of these 20 project UDI is working on 13 of them.

Reblogged this on J. Kevin Brent and commented:
The gem on the list, is the floating dry dock.
Kevin, my gem on the list is the sailing training ship. Unfortunately that project has been on the list quite some time and there is no work done yet.
Good point. Hope they get her built soon too.
Just how certain are we that Turkey is an ally?
Trust is a two way street. Just how certain are we sure that USA is an ally?
Touche.
