She is designed to perform subsea and surface search and rescue missions under various sea conditions.[3] Her main task is to rescue submarines that can not resurface by their own efforts. She is able to provide life support to the stranded crew of a distressed submarine at a maximum depth of 600 m (2,000 ft). She is equipped with remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROV) and atmospheric diving suits (ADS).[1] A modern vessel with complex equipment on board, Alemdar will help maintain an appropriate level of salvage and recovery capability for the Turkish Navy's fleet of fourteen diesel-electric submarines.[1]
