Turkish Navy TCG Heybeliada (F511) is the lead ship of the Ada-class corvettes developed under Türkiye's MILGEM national warship program. Featuring stealth-focused architecture and modern combat systems, the vessel represents a major advancement in Turkish naval shipbuilding capabilities.
This 30-inch handcrafted model is meticulously built using the traditional plank-on-frame method and premium-grade woods, including Western Red Cedar, Teak, and Mahogany.

History:
TCG Heybeliada (F511) was commissioned by the Turkish Navy in 2011 as the lead ship of the Ada-class corvette program developed under the MILGEM national warship initiative. The vessel was created to enhance Türkiye's domestic naval engineering and coastal defense capabilities.
Designed with stealth technologies, anti-submarine warfare systems, and modern combat electronics, TCG Heybeliada became the first fully indigenous warship built by Türkiye in modern times. The Ada-class continues to play a key role in the modernization of the Turkish Navy fleet.
