TCG Yavuz (F 240) is the lead ship of Yavuz-class frigate of the Turkish Navy.

An order for ships was signed by the Turkish government in April 1983 for four MEKO frigates.

The Turkish Navy has an ongoing limited modernization project for an electronic warfare suite.

The intent is to upgrade the ships with locally produced ECM, ECCM systems, active decoys, LWRs, IRST, and the necessary user interface systems.
