Abstract
The Turkish navy has experienced a modernization in the twenty-first century. However, there is a lack of academic literature on the Turkish navy, an issue that hinders security and strategy analysts during a time of heightened tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean. This thesis examines the political factors and foreign policy decisions that caused a modernization in the country's navy. Additionally, it addresses the capabilities and roles of the Turkish navy in the future due to its modernization efforts. In doing so, this thesis describes the history of the defense industry in Turkey, highlighting the shift from foreign procurement to domestic production. It explores the factors and significance surrounding the navy's shift from primarily being a littoral force to having both littoral and blue water aspirations. Finally, this research concludes that a security dilemma and prestige propelled the Turkish navy toward modernization. While Turkey may not be as influential as other major states, if it continues its track of fleet modernization, its navy will be a key source of influence for the country.
