The Minister of Industry and Technology Mustafa Varank, has received information about the construction work of the largest ship produced in Turkey in his visit to Sedef Shipyard in Tuzla city.
In a statement after his visit, Varank said that the Multipurpose Amphibious Assault Ship which is the first time produced in Turkey, would be the largest tonnage ships will enter the inventory of the Turkish Naval Forces.
Varank said that the ship, which recently draws attention to Turkey as a regional power, could carry nearly 100 amphibious mission groups, including national tanks and armored vehicles, and more than 30 aircraft, depending on the mission.
