Gabya Class TCG-Göksu: Modern Defense on the High Seas

The Gabya Class TCG-Göksu (F-497) is a frontline frigate of the Turkish Navy, embodying advanced maritime defense capabilities and international collaboration. Originally commissioned as part of the U.S. Navy’s Oliver Hazard Perry-class, the vessel was transferred to Turkey and upgraded with indigenous systems, including the state-of-the-art GENESIS combat management system.

TCG-Göksu is equipped with modern weaponry, radar systems, and electronic warfare tools, making it a vital asset in NATO missions and regional security operations across the Mediterranean and Aegean seas. Its versatility allows it to perform anti-air, anti-submarine, and surface warfare tasks with precision.

The Gabya Class TCG-Göksu reflects Turkey’s dedication to a strong, tech-forward naval presence and serves as a symbol of readiness, deterrence, and national pride at sea.
