TCG Anadolu Has Been Floated

TCG Anadolu has been floated on 4th May 2019. It is important to note that it is a technical procedure and not the official launching of the ship.

TCG Anadolu is being constructed on a floating dock and the keel blocks under her hull need to be relocated. She will be taken back to the dock after the keel blogs have been relocated and the construction will continue.

The ship was floated 4 days after she suffered a fire. The fire broke out as some isolation material caught fire when welding was done nearby. Although there is no visible damage from the outside, the fire must have damaged the parts of the ship. Since the construction of the ship continues the repair of the damaged parts won’t be much difficult.

  1. Probably you mean “…… it is a technical procedure and NOT the official launching of the ship.”

      1. I am glad to read that the fire did not cause any serious damage to the ship.
        I don`t want to act like an editor, but other phrases would be as follows:
        “….some isolation material CAUGHT fire…” ;
        “….the fire must have damaged the parts…” ;
        “Since the construction of the ship continues, …”

        Regards…
