This could be the largest naval conflict since WW2 and the largest air war since the Yom Kipur War. The Turks have 14 submarines, 17 frigates, 220 F-16's and 157 F-4's, while the Greeks have 8 subs, 14 frigates, 156 F-16's, 44 Mirage 2000's, 53, F-4's, and 36 A-7's.

Add in the Israelis (3 subs, 83 F-15's, and 325 F-16's) and possibly the Egyptians (4 subs, 9 frigates, 240 F-16's, 32 F-4's, 53 J-7's, 60 Mirage V's, 18 Mirage 2000's, and 62 MiG-21's), and things will get extremely interesting, even if the Russians and the US stay out of it.
