Sultanate Frontline Squadrons

The Izmir Monitor is a frequent sight, offering its support to the formidable Mehmed class, ensuring that the grand rivers and coastlines under the Sultans' protection remain well defended. An assignment to an Izmir is often viewed as a lateral promotion, as the constant presence of a Grand Monitor can leave a captain and their officers with limited opportunities to showcase initiative, given that any orders they issue to their crew may swiftly change on a moment's notice.
