Gayret Gemi Museum

The warship made by the United States on May 10, 1946 was named USA Everson. In 1973, the USA Everson Ship was taken to the Turkish Naval Command and was named TCG Gayret. The TCG Gayret vessel has successfully accomplished many important missions in more than 20 years.
The ship, which was left out of service in 1995, was decorated in accordance with the modern museum understanding with the joint ventures of Kocaeli Governorship, Kocaeli Metropolitan Municipality and Naval Command within the scope of the "Museum-Ship Project" and started its new position in 1997 at the coast of Izmit.
