The Yavuz class is a group of four frigates that were built for the Turkish Navy.[1] They were designed in Germany and are part of the MEKO family of modular warships, in this case, the MEKO 200 design. An order for ships was signed by the Turkish government in April 1983 for four MEKO frigates. Two ships were built in Germany and two in Turkey with German assistance. They are similar in design to the larger Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities".s of the Turkish Navy, which are improved versions of the Yavuz-class frigates.
The Turkish Navy has an ongoing limited-modernization project for an electronic warfare suite. The intent is to upgrade the ships with locally produced ECM, ECCM systems, active decoys, LWRs, IRST, and the necessary user-interface systems.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
The Yavuz-class ships are expected to be replaced by the Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities".s.
