The La Combattante II patrol boat was a type of fast attack craft built in France for export during the 1970s.
In the same period CMN built 12 fast attack craft to a similar design for Israel (the Sa'ar 1-3 classes) which are included by some sources in the type.
These vessels were typically of 234 tons displacement and 47 m (154 ft 2 in) in length, and a typical armament of one 76 mm (3 in) gun forward, four Exocet missiles in box launchers amidships, and a 40 mm (1.6 in) gun aft, though actual outfits varied according to the operators requirements.
[5] A version called the Beir Grassa class, of which 10 were built and 8 were operational as of 1995, were used by the Libyan Navy.
An initial group of six boats was ordered in 1965, with an armament of Bofors 40 mm guns, torpedo tubes and provision for fitting sonar.
