Turkish Navy conducted the Kurtaran 2024 exercise between 24 and 30 April 2024 near Aksaz Naval Base.

This annual exercise is focused on conserving and honing the skill of rescuing submerged disabled submarines (DISSUB) sitting at the bottom of the sea.

I think the scenarios applied in this year’s Kurtaran exercise are very similar to those in the Kurtaran 2019 exercise held 5 years ago at the same location. You can read my notes on that exercise here: Kurtaran 2019 Submarine Rescue Exercise
