The Kartal class is one of the fast attack missile and torpedo boat classes of the Turkish Navy.
The vessels of this class were built by Lürssen Werft in Germany, and were based on the Zobel class. However, unlike the Zobel class FACs which were armed with only torpedoes, the Kartal class are armed with missiles and torpedoes, and can carry up to four mines.
TCG Kartal was the first vessel of the class to be launched, but TCG Denizkuşu was the first to be delivered and commissioned.
