The Turkish Navy will begin the planned DENİZKURDU-II Exercise on 4 June across the Mediterranean, Aegean Sea, Sea of Marmara and Black Sea, with the first launch of the AKYA heavyweight torpedo among the exercise's key activities. The exercise will continue until 14 June.

Details of the exercise were presented during a press briefing in Gölcük, Kocaeli.
