A picture of Heybeliada appeared as an identification problem over at Grand Logistics. I linked your thread about the Milgem project within my answer identifying the new corvette. To me she is simply and clearly superior to the USN LCS-1 type.
The Milgem corvette project appears to be producing a far more focused and yet balanced ship than the USN LCS program. I suspect that I'd far prefer having TCG Heybeliada as an escort for an ARG or convoy than any subsequent or evolutionary version of the USS Freedom (LCS-1) class of vessel (I'm not certain that it can truthfully be described as a warship).

Well duh,
I should have provided the link to the thread at Grand Logistics...

It would appear that Grand Logistics really, really likes the Milgem project corvettes as demonstrated with TCG Heybeliada.

Hi D.E.Reddick,
Thanks for stopping by. I have read your comments at Mike's blog with great interest.
I appreciate the links you have provided. The comparison that Grand Logistics did is eye catching.
