The New Type Submarine Project aims to construct six submarines at Gölcük Naval Shipyard with maximum Turkish industry participation. These platforms are designed to exploit stealth characteristics to conduct s operations in maritime environments, launch guided missiles from submarines against surface targets, and operate with Air-Independent Propulsion (AIP) systems.
The REIS-class submarines, internationally known as Type-24, feature Fuel Cell technology that provides AIP capability. This capability will make them the first submarines of their kind in service for the Turkish Naval Forces and will position Türkiye among the few nations worldwide employ this advanced technology.
