Frigate
A frigate () is a type of warship. In different eras, the roles and capabilities of ships classified as frigates have varied. The name frigate in the 17th to early 18th centuries was given to any full-rigged ship built for speed and maneuverability, intended to be used in scouting, escort and patrol roles. The term was applied loosely to ships varying greatly in design. In the second quarter of the 18th century, what is now generally regarded as the 'true frigate' was developed in France. This type of vessel was characterised by possessing only one armed deck, with an unarmed deck below it used for berthing the crew. Late in the 19th century (British and French prototypes were constructed in 1858), a type of powerful ironclad warships was developed, and because they had a single gun deck, the term 'frigate' was used to describe them. Later developments in ironclad ships rendered the 'frigate' designation obsolete and the term fell out of favour. During the Second World War ...

MILGEM Project
The MILGEM project ''('' Turkish'': Milli Gemi Projesi;'' English'': National Ship Project)'' is a national warship program of the Republic of Turkey. Managed by the Turkish Navy, the project aims at developing multipurpose corvettes, frigates and destroyers that can be deployed in a range of missions, including reconnaissance, surveillance, early warning, anti-submarine warfare, surface-to-surface and surface-to-air warfare, and amphibious operations. As of 2023, the MILGEM project covers four anti-submarine warfare corvettes, one ELINT corvette, eight multipurpose frigates, 10 Hisar class OPVs as well as eight anti-air warfare destroyers destined for the Turkish Navy; four s for the Pakistan Navy; and two Ada class corvettes for the Ukrainian Navy. The name of the project is derived from the phrase "National Ship" in Turkish – ''Milli Gemi''. History In mid 1990s the Turkish Navy was researching national resources to design, develop and construct a completel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ada-class Corvette
The ''Ada''-class is a class of anti-submarine warfare corvettes developed primarily for the Turkish Navy during the first stage of the MILGEM project. The Turkish Navy has commissioned all four ''Ada''-class corvettes. TCG ''Ufuk'' (A-591) SIGINT ship and ''Hisar''-class OPVs are variants of the ''Ada''-class corvette that use the same hull and superstructure design but feature different types of systems, armament and equipment. Development The ''Ada''-class was engineered for the purpose of building a national corvette with anti-submarine warfare and high-seas patrol capabilities, while using the principles of low observability in its materials and design.Patrol and Anti-Submarine Warfare Ship (MILGEM- Milli Gemi – National Ship) Project [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
