Turkey to Build Subs

Turkey, with help from Germany, to become 'submarine manufacturer'

http://www.worldtribune.com/worldtri...0873_09_08.asp

"...Turkey's Defense Ministry and Navy have been working with Germany in the coproduction of four electric-diesel submarines. The coproduction effort has taken place with Germany's ThyssenKrupp for the Type 214 submarine. ......."

Interesting.
