On 4 October the Naval Museum in Istanbul was reopened after a 6 years of renovation and reconstruction. The museum is just across the mausoleum of the great Turkish Admiral Barbaros Hayrettin Paşa. The MEKO 200 Track II class frigate F-244 TCG Barbaors was in Istanbul to take part in the reopening ceremony of the naval museum. She is the only ships that carries the old battle ensign of Admiral Barbaros Hayrettin Paşa.
The ship spotters were also able to witness more Turkish warships. The two old patrol boats TCG AB-27 and TCG AB-29 which passed through the Bosphorus will soon be replaced by newer boats of the Tuzla class such as TCG Tuzla, TCG Tekirdağ and TCG Kilimli seen passing through the Bosphorus later.
