- A class minehunter (Turkey)
The A Class is a class of minehunter vessels in the Turkish Navy. In 1999, the German shipyards Lürssen and Abeking & Rasmussen were contracted to build six Frankenthal class ships for the Turkish Navy, a business worth US$ 630 million. While the first vessel was built in Germany, later ships were constructed by the Istanbul Naval Shipyard.[cite web|url=http://www.turkishnavy.net/ae.htm|title=Mine Warfare Ships|publisher=Unofficial Homepage of Turkish Navy|accessdate=4 August|accessyear=2008] ]The Turkish Navy has become the second naval force in the world, after the German Navy, to utilize a non-magnetic steel hull in its minehunter vessels.
