Turkish Orus Reis Submarine

Oruç Reis was a Turkish submarine ordered from Britain before the Second World War. The wartime emergency affected the delivery and service of the Turkish boats, with some related vessels temporarily serving the Royal Navy. Oruç Reis herself ultimately belonged to the development of Turkey’s modern submarine force. The exact boat and configuration is distinct from other submarines carrying similar Turkish names, particularly if a model is meant to depict an earlier or later national submarine program.

Built in Britain for Turkey, the class’s delivery was disrupted by the Second World War. British wartime use and later Turkish service therefore belong to the same boats’ histories, rather than to an independently developed Turkish submarine design.
