Nice looking ship. It is a pity not to see such a design from my country. We have the knowledge and the technology to build something like this but our politicians they prefer to spend money..

This family of ships will replace the Perry class (not the upgraded) and the remaining Knox class? Or there are plans to increase the fleet?

Milgem (ASW warfare) is going to replace older Perry class frigates.

Not exactly . Milgem is copy of US Littoral Comcat Ship (LCS) and will replace old French built aviso class corvettes . But ASW warfare has privilige. Perry class frigates will be replaced by TF2000 class ships which are in design phase.

Thank you for spreading Mis-Information.

MILGEM is by no means a copy of LCS, it shares a common design philosophy of Stealthy Angles but that's it. And No.. TF-2000 will not replace Perry Class TF-100 will.

Great. Great. Great.

Yeap. l will keep this in my mind.

TF-2000 will not replace Perry Class TF-100 will.

No mate. TF-2000 will be new anti-airwarfare platform instead of Perrys .

Saying that Milgem is a copy of US LCS just because of the similarities on the front superstructure is nothing but underrating the efforts put in this project by the Turkish industry and the engineers. If your purpose is exactly this, people really interested in these issues know the truth, if not, choose your words carefully.

If I can express my opinion, I agree with m.i.t.
The 4 Perry class that will not be upgraded with Mk41 will be replaced with the TF-2000 which have the same role, AAW. The 4 TF-1000 will replace the retired Knox class while the Milgem (Ada class) the French ASW ships. This is the logical way due to the armament and the role of the designs. Sorry for the discussion, continue with pics..
