The Turkish Perspective at Sea of the Georgia-Russia War

Devrim Yaylali published an interesting article from the Turkish perspective regarding the Naval activity associated with the Georgia-Russia war last year. The article is in the December issue of Warship International Fleet Review magazine, but he also has a copy on his blog.

The article is great, the pictures are fantastic, and by the way you 'Guardians' might want to check out Devrim's blog banner. Personally speaking, the USCGC Dallas (WHE 716) looks really cool with Turkey in the background in that banner.

I recommend Warship IFR, as if anyone cares..., for those who are looking for good periodical content that looks global as opposed to US centric. For example, in the January 2009 the article by Usman Ansari regarding the naval face-off between Bangladesh and Burma over natural resources off the shores of both countries is another example where serious events are happening at sea, but those issues and events are often under the radar in the US media until they explode.
