A Submarine Sighted
10 Mar 2016 3 Comments
On 10th March 2016, a Turkish Navy, Ay class submarine was sighted passing through Bosphorus.
Since Turkish Navy stopped painting the pennant number of the submarines on their hulls, it is impossible to identify each individual submarine anymore. While this new painting scheme helps the submarines to blend and prevents IR/FLIR/LLTV using trackers or electro-optic directors any high contrast target, it makes ship spotting difficult.

Most likely she’s TCG DOLUNAY S 352 that left Malta on 9th March, it depends what time she was sighted on the 10th
The sub on my photo can’t be TCG Dolunay. My sub was coming from the Black Sea. 😃
No worries, should you need any photos of the TCG DOLUNAY S 352 at Malta drop us an email, thanks
