Qatar placed an order two training ships from the Anadolu Shipyard in March 2018 during the DIMDEX naval defense exhibition in Doha. These Cadet Training Ships feature space allocations for theoretical and practical training facilities for the cadets and the instructors.

The two vessels are being built in Istanbul by Anadolu Shipyard who is a strategic partner of Turkish MOD for navy shipbuilding programme. Having already completed and delivered the amphibious ships of 8 LCT, 2 LST with 8 LCVPs to the Turkish Navy, the shipyard is well organized to deliver CTS ships to QENF in just 36 months from contact award.
