Fourth I-class Frigate on the Countdown for Launch TurDef TCG İstanbul (F-515) firing the HİSAR-D RF air defence missile at target UAV
The fourth I-class multi-purpose frigate, TCG İçel (F-518), is nearing the launch, not long after the second and third ships, TCG İzmir and TCG İzmit.

Haber Denizde claimed that the last of the I-class frigates’ first batch is nearing the launch date in the “days” range. Months ago, at the beginning of 2025, the second and third I-class frigates TCG İzmir (F-516) and TCG İzmit (F-517) were launched.

Following the first batch, four other ships as TCG Akdeniz (F-519), TCG Karadeniz (F-520), TCG Ege (F-521), and TCG Marmara (F-522), will be built. The second batch will likely be identical to the first in terms of equipment and layout.
