TCG Sultanhisar (P-111), ex-USS PC-1638, was a Hisar-class patrol boat of the Turkish Navy. She was built in 1963 by Gunderson Brothers Engineering Corp. in Portland, Oregon as a submarine chaser.[2][3]
The vessel was transferred on May 9, 1964[1][4] along with two other boats of the same class to Turkey. Three other ships of the class followed the next year.[5] Commissioned on January 25, 1965,[6] the Sultanhisar was stationed at the Gölcük Naval Base together with other Hisar-class patrol boats, before they were deployed in 1977 to the naval base in Izmir.[3]
Sultanhisar was decommissioned on June 3, 2002[6] as Burak-class corvettes entered service.[3]
TCG Sultanhisar (P-111) was the third ship of the Turkish Navy to have the name, following the destroyer TCG Sultanhisar and the torpedo boat Sultanhisar.[6]
