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. [1] [2]

The vessel was transferred on May 9, 1964 [3] [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 İzmir. [2]

Sultanhisar was decommissioned on June 3, 2002 [6] as Burak-class corvettes entered service. [2]

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]
