piri reis

Türkiye has signed the first-ever convention for nomenclature with a presidential decree to include Turkish names for some underwater formations previously indicated with foreign names, in a move that came following nearly a decade of study.

Turkey's president said on Jan. 23 Turkey is among the 10 countries that can design, build, and maintain its own warship, and the country's navy will be in a "very strong position" with five major projects in the coming five years.

The Piri Reis map is a world map compiled in 1513 from military intelligence by the Ottoman admiral and cartographer Piri Reis.
