STM Delivers “New Torpedo Section” for Reis-Class Submarines

Turkish Naval Forces Command has taken new deliveries of the "Torpedo Section" – the bow section of the submarine that houses the torpedo tubes which have been produced for the first time in Türkiye based on national means with STM engineering and coordination. The two “Section 50s” produced for Reis-class submarines will be integrated into TCG AYDINREİS and TCG SEYDİALİREİS.

Another critical stage has been reached in the Turkish Navy New Type Submarine Project, launched by the Presidency of Defence Industries (SSB) for one of the most active navies in the world, the Turkish Naval Forces. New deliveries of the Torpedo Section are underway. Housing the torpedo tubes (main armaments) of the submarine, these bow sections are produced by only a few countries around the world.

The second and third batch deliveries of the “Torpedo Section” were concluded successfully – having been produced for the first time in Türkiye, with STM engineering and coordination and by Gürdesan Gemi Makinaları Sanayii Ticaret A.Ş., through indigenous and national means. The first two “Torpedo Sections” produced for Reis-class submarines were delivered to Gölcük Naval Shipyard by sea. The second and third Torpedo Section sections produced and delivered in Türkiye will be integrated into TCG AYDINREİS and TCG SEYDİALİREİS. STM and Gürdesan delivered the first Torpedo Section, to be integrated into TCG MURATREİS, in September 2021.
