Ada Class Corvette (MİLGEM)

Overview

The Ada-class (MİLGEM — Milli Gemi, National Ship) corvette is Turkey's first domestically designed and built surface combatant. Four ships have been delivered to the Turkish Navy: TCG Heybeliada (2011), TCG Büyükada (2013), TCG Burgazada (2018), and TCG Kınalıada (2019). The 2,400-tonne stealth-hulled corvette integrates a 76mm OTO Melara gun, Mk-41 VLS for SeaSparrow/ESSM SAMs, Harpoon anti-ship missiles, RAM close-in weapon system, and a helicopter deck for ASW operations. The design has been exported to Pakistan (MILGEM/PN Babur-class) and Ukraine. It forms the foundation for the more capable İstanbul-class frigate.
