Anadolu LHD (L-408)

LHD "Juan Carlos I"

TCG ANADOLU (L-408)

The design of the "LHD Juan Carlos I" has been introduced to several contest in various navies with stiff competition, especially with Mistral class, his French counterpart.

The first success came in when Navantia won the contest acquisition of two vessels for the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), based on "LHD Juan Carlos I" model and associated with their Australian partner BAE Systems Australia. In the competition Navantia would be responsible for the design and construction of the superstructure, isolated areas would be built in Australia as well as the supply of engines and SICP (Sistema Integrado de Control de Plataforma/Integrated Control Platform System). The principle differences from Australian LHD class Canberra are sensors and combat system.

In December 2013, the Executive Committee of the Turkish Defence Industry (SSIK) announced the selection of SEDEF Gemi İnşaatı A.Ş, Navantia local partner to start negotiations for the signing of a contract for the construction of a landing ship LHD amphibious type "Juan Carlos I".

Navantia would design the amphibious landing ship which later on became built on Sedef shipyard. As well as the design, Navantia would be responsible for building 4 LCM-1E boats (such as those operating in the Spanish Armada), supply of engines, turbine and SICP (Sistema Integrado de Control de Plataforma/Integrated Platform Management System).
