GÜNGÖR DURMUŞ (A-574) is the first vessel constructed under the [Logistic Support Ship Project](/en/detay/tcg-yzb-gungor-durmus-a-574-lojistik-destek-gemisi/llms.txt) initiated for the Turkish Naval Forces Command. The primary mission of the vessel is to conduct naval replenishment and logistic support operations, thereby enhancing the operational capabilities of the Turkish Naval Forces. ### **History** The Logistic Support Ship Project was carried out within the framework of a contract signed between the Presidency of Defence Industries (SSB) of the Republic of Türkiye and STM on February 9, 2021. The construction of the vessel was undertaken by ADA Shipyard, and it was officially delivered to the Turkish Naval Forces Command on December 8, 2021. ![Image](https://cdn.kureansiklopedi.com/media/uploads/2025/05/24/Q5pYC6JK0o43dr9ex8N4uidlqhO6KZoT.jpg) *The TCG YZB. Güngör Durmuş (A-574) Logistic Support Ship. (Anadolu Agency)* ### **Technical Specifications** - **Length:** 106.51 meters - **Beam:** 16.80 meters - **Crew Capacity:** 82 personnel - **Maximum Speed:** 12+ knots - **Range:** 9,500 nautical miles ### **Equipment and Capacities** The vessel is equipped with a helicopter platform capable of supporting the landing and replenishment operations of a [15-ton general-purpose helicopter](/en/detay/tusas-t-70-general-purpose-helicopter-82682/llms.txt). It is armed with two 12.7 mm [ASELSAN STAMP](/en/detay/aselsan-goksur-2/llms.txt) weapon systems and features a crane with an 18-ton lifting capacity. Additionally, the ship has the capacity to carry eight containers. In terms of logistic support capacity, it can transport 631 tons of potable water, 336 tons of JP-5 helicopter fuel, and 4,036 tons of F-76 naval fuel. ### **Lieutenant Junior Grade Güngör Durmuş** Lieutenant Junior Grade Güngör Durmuş served as a team commander within the Turkish Naval Forces’ Underwater Defence Group Command. On July 3, 1998, during a training exercise in Istanbul, he identified that the live-fire exercise involving M-16 rifles posed a safety hazard and ordered the cessation of firing. However, due to the accidental discharge of a firearm by a non-commissioned officer, he was fatally wounded. In his honor, the logistic support vessel TCG YZB. GÜNGÖR DURMUŞ (A-574) was named after him. ### **Project Management and Multinational Mission Participation** The main contractor of the Logistic Support Ship Project is STM (Savunma Teknolojileri Mühendislik ve Ticaret A.Ş.). STM assumed full responsibility for program management, procurement, assembly, outfitting, system integration, trials and training, logistic support, and commissioning activities throughout the shipbuilding process. Within this framework, the project was implemented as a strategic initiative aimed at enhancing the Turkish Naval Forces’ logistic and operational capabilities. Upon completion, TCG YZB. GÜNGÖR DURMUŞ (A-574) was commissioned into the Turkish Naval Forces and has since been actively involved in international missions. The vessel contributes to NATO’s maritime operations through its participation under the command of Standing NATO Mine Countermeasures Group 2 (SNMCMG-2). Within this context, the ship plays a significant role in both national and international maritime security and cooperation missions. ## Academic Sources and References 1.
