Project history: These were all ex-US Gearing class destroyers. Adatepe was purchased on 15 February 1973, two years after first being transferred. The first Kocatepe was sunk in error by Turkish Air Force jets on 22 July 1974 during the landing on Cyprus, having been mistaken for a Greek ship. The ex-Norris, which had been bought for spares, was hurriedly refitted and renamed Kocatepe, commissioning on 20 July 1975. Another ship originally purchased for cannibalization, the ex-Meredith, was also refitted and commissioned as Savaştepe on 20 Jury 1981. The ex-Robert H McCord and Fiske were leased to Turkey in 1980 and were purchased on 6 August 1987, along with ex-Orleck acquired in 1982. An eleventh Gearing, the ex-McKean, previously damaged in a collision, was transferred for cannibalization in 1982. Tinaztepe and both Kacatepes were FRAM II conversions, all remainder were FRAM I.
