To disrupt enemy sea transport movements, the fleet engaged in a whole set of measures and actions along the entire 600-mile line of communication stretching from Bosporus to Trebizond: a hunt for Turkish vessels by groups of ships, artillery and air attacks against ports, minefield laying near Bosporus and before Anatolia ports, and fire-ship "plugging" of Zonguldak, the most important coaling port on Turkey's Heracleian coast (the attempt failed, though). For example, in the late 1970s, Turkey's Statistical Commission for the Five-Year Plan--well-trained statisticians armed with slide rules, graph paper and doctorates--met and solemnly discussed the subsidy for bituminous coal that was to be delivered from the Zonguldak mines to the steel factory at Kirsehir for the export of low-grade steel. GE Power Systems will supply power generation equipment and additional services for the construction of a US$194 million, Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) power plant that will supply 206 megawatts of electricity for Alapli, in the province of Zonguldak, Turkey. |
