TCG Muavenet
Four ships of the Türk Deniz Kuvvetleri (the Turkish Navy) have been named Muavenet. The name means "support"; the later ships were named in honor of the first.
The first Muavenet[?] was an Ottoman torpedo boat that sank the pre-dreadnought battleship HMS Goliath[?] during the Canakkale Wars.
The second Muavenet[?], ex-HMS Inconstant (H-49)[?], was a destroyer ordered by Turkey to be built in England, but delayed in delivery by World War II.
Another Muavenet (DM-357)[?], ex-USS Gwin (DD-772)[?], was crippled by missiles from USS Saratoga (CV-60).
The most recent Muavenet (F-250)[?], ex-USS Capodanno (FFG-1093)[?], was given to Turkey by the United States Navy as restitution for wrecking the previous Muavenet.
