Designed by Lürssen Werft in Germany, these ships are almost identical to the Yıldız and Rüzgar classes, having the same hull, machinery, and weapons. They were fitted with LIOD Mk.2 electro-optical fire control and TACTICOS command control systems during their mid-life modernization program.
History
editTCG Doğan was built in Germany, and the other ships of the class were built in Turkey. TCG Marti was removed from the Turkish Naval Forces Command inventory in 2022.[1] In August 2025, it was provided to the Maldives National Defence Force, where it was commissioned as the CGS Dharumavantha.[2]
