Turkey has launched its third Reis-class submarine, the TCG Murat Reis, at the Gölcük Naval Shipyard. This vessel is part of a six-submarine project modeled after the German Type 214 design. The rollout follows earlier milestones in the program, including the delivery of the first submarine and testing of the second. The launch ceremony was held on the same day as the 572nd anniversary of the fall of Constantinople and the 114th birthday of the Turkish Air Force. One new submarine is expected to be inducted annually, with the final one arriving in 2028.
