Turkish Naval Force

Turkey's parliament has extended the deployment of the Turkish Naval Force in the Gulf of Aden, Somalian territorial waters and the Arabian Sea to halt piracy for another year.

Turkey's first locally-made flagship, recently named "TCG Anadolu," is set to sail in 2021, Turkish daily Milliyet has reported. 

TCG Anadolu, which is currently being constructed at Sedef Shipbuilding in Istanbul, will become the "mother ship" of Turkey's navy as its largest and most well-equipped warship.
