so to say the 1st block is under construction is a bit confusing or did they mean 2nd block ?

This announcement marks a critical milestone in the TF-2000 Destroyer project, and heralds the commencement of the physical construction of the first Ship

The TF-2000 Destroyer construction process will take less time thanks to the experience and technological expertise gained from the ADA and ISTIF class Warships.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

4 ADA class Corvettes were produced and commissioned in approximately 14 years
( 2005 - 2019 )

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first Ship of the ISTIF class, TCG ISTANBUL was laid down in 2017 and entered service in 2024 ( 7 years )

7 ISTIF class Frigates will be produced and commissioned in approximately 6 years
( 2023-2029 )

1- F515 ISTANBUL ... ( the delivery is completed in 2024 )
2- F516 IZMIR ... launched in 2025
3- F517 IZMIT ... launched in 2025
4- F518 ICEL ... launched in 2025
5- F519 AKDENIZ ... launched in 2026
