I had the privileged the spend two nights and two days on board of the Turkish tank landing ship   (LST- Landing Ship Tank) TCG Sancaktar between 22 and 24 May 2024. 

The ship was taking part in the EFES-2024 Combined Joint Live Fire Exercise. I was able to witness the preparation on board and observe the life on the sea. TCG Sancaktar was one of the three large landing ship taking part in the exercise.
