Zitat:Nowadays, Turkish naval officials have focused on Turkish Light Aircraft Carrier (TCVL) and Turkish Landing Helicopter Platform (TLHP). In long-term, Turkey builds the pair with the know-how transfer to gain open sea operations and amphibic assault capacity. 10-15.000t. TCVL will most probably have V/STOL JSF, Integrated Maritime Surveillance System (IMSS) AEW&C aircraft and CH-60S Knight Hawks. It will be equipped with ESSM in Mk41 VLS, RAM self-defense and advanced electronic systems. Turkish Ministry of National Defense has recently collected technical information from leader shipyards of US, Spain, Britain and Italy prior to issue of Request of Information (RfI). TLHP is also equipped with similar self-defense weapons, electronics, landing platforms and air wing consist of assault and utility choppers of Turkish Marine Corps. It is expected that TLHP project will be launched after contract stage of the TCVL.Quelle: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.geocities.com/turkishdefensenews/">http://www.geocities.com/turkishdefensenews/</a><!-- m -->
