Kaan 15 (TUR MRTP 15)

The Kaan 15, also known as MRTP 15, is a class of fast patrol and interceptor boats developed and built by Yonca-Onuk Shipyard for the Turkish Coast Guard and Navy. These vessels are designed for high-speed interception, anti-smuggling operations, and coastal patrol duties, often featuring advanced composite construction.

Developed in the late 1990s by Yonca-Onuk Shipyard, the MRTP 15 was designed to address Turkey's urgent need for highly maneuverable, shallow-draft vessels capable of policing complex littoral waters against asymmetric threats. The class officially entered service with the Turkish Coast Guard in 2001, quickly becoming a cornerstone of their rapid-response fleet. These vessels have been heavily deployed in the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas for search and rescue operations, border enforcement, and countering illegal migration networks. Beyond domestic service, the platform achieved significant export success to nations such as Pakistan and Qatar, establishing Turkey as a competitive exporter of high-tech composite naval craft.
