Ottoman torpedo boat Akhisar

Marine Vehicles

Akhisar was a torpedo boat built in Italy for the Ottoman Navy and the lead ship of her class. She was launched on 25 April 1904 at the Ansaldo shipyard in Genoa and joined the Ottoman fleet in June 1904. She was 51 metres long, displaced 165 tonnes and had a steel hull. Two vertical three-cylinder Ansaldo triple-expansion steam engines totalling 2,400 horsepower, supplied with steam by two locomotive boilers also made by Ansaldo, drove two screws at up to 24 knots, and she carried a reserve of 60 tons of coal. She served in the First Balkan War and the First World War, where her worn engines could reach only 14 knots by 1915. She passed to the Turkish Navy in 1923, was overhauled in Istanbul in 1924 and 1925, was withdrawn from the fleet in 1930 and was scrapped in 1935.
