Turkish Navy Ship/Submarine Kits?

Ships
1

I am currently planning a boxed ‘sea diorama’, the focal point being a Turkish ship or submarine.
Can anyone suggest a kit of a Turkish Navy ship or submarine (any era) that would fit into a box
with internal dimensions 20cm X 12cm (3cm height)?

Thanks,

Paul

What about this one ?

Maybe too high…

Frenchy,
That would be a good choice, but (as you say) far too high … shame.
It did occur to me that a submarine would be the best option (height-wise),
but finding kit is likely to be a problem.
The reason for my height limit of 3cm is that the box has a lid, and I want to
be able to close it. Actually, it is a wooden ‘Turkish Delight’ box … hence the
choice of subject.
Of course, I could explore a totally different diorama subject (instead of Naval) …
but what?

Maybe this list would help with possible options, as many Turkish subs were second-hand foreign-built vessels :

Some of the mentioned subs are available in 1/700th scale…

Thanks for that. Yes, I have the book, ‘War Beneath the Waves’, which lists some of the Turkish
submarines that began life in other navies. I will check out your suggested reference.
