The TCG Alemdar (A-582) is an Alemdar-class submarine rescue mother ship (MOSHIP) of the Turkish Navy. Ordered on October 28, 2011 and built by Istanbul Shipyard, she was launched on April 29, 2014.[1][2]
She is designed to perform subsea and surface search and rescue missions under various sea conditions.[3] Her main task is to rescue submarines that can not resurface by their own efforts. She is able to provide life support to the stranded crew of a distressed submarine at a maximum depth of 600 m (2,000 ft). She is equipped with remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROV) and atmospheric diving suits (ADS).[1] A modern vessel with complex equipment on board, Alemdar will help maintain an appropriate level of salvage and recovery capability for the Turkish Navy's fleet of fourteen diesel-electric submarines.[1]
TCG Alemdar is 91.0 m (298.6 ft) long with a beam of 18.5 m (61 ft) and a max. draft 7.8 m (26 ft). She has a speed of 18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph) in service. At 14 knots (26 km/h; 16 mph) speed, she has a range of 4,500 nautical miles (8,300 km; 5,200 mi).[3]
