Maybe Turkey is thinking about putting the band back together.
During WWI, the Ottoman Empire’s fleet was mostly obsolete (pre-dreadnaught) and not very seaworthy.
The most effective units were a couple of German ships, the SMS Goeben and SMS Breslau. Both were transferred to the Ottoman Empire Navy, the Goeben became the Yavuz Sultan Selim, and the Breslau became the Midilli. The Germans donned Turkish uniforms and fezzes and continued to crew them.
The Ottoman Empire DID have some very brave and clever fellows working the minelayers in the Bosporus and they actually bagged some battleships by clever mine placement...
