TCG Anadolu
TCG Anadolu (L-400) adalah kapal perang serbu amfibi (LHD) Angkatan Laut Turki yang dapat dikonfigurasi sebagai kapal induk ringan. Dinamai menurut nama semenanjung Anatolia (Turki : Anadolu) yang merupakan mayoritas daratan Turki. Pekerjaan konstruksi dimulai pada 30 April 2016 di galangan kapal Sedef Shipbuilding Inc. di Istanbul, dengan lunas dipasang pada 7 Februari 2018.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Kapal tersebut dimaksudkan untuk memenuhi berbagai kebutuhan dan persyaratan Angkatan Bersenjata Turki, seperti menopang dengan daya tahan lama, pertempuran militer jarak jauh atau operasi bantuan kemanusiaan; saat bertindak sebagai pusat komando dan andalan Angkatan Laut Turki.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]
Kapal telah dirancang untuk dapat mengoperasikan pesawat tempur multiperan siluman F-35B STOVL. Namun Turki telah dihapus dari program F-35 pada Juli 2019 karena masalah keamanan terkait dengan akuisisi Turki atas sistem pertahanan udara S-400 Rusia.[15][16][17][18][19][20]
