The La Combattante patrol boat was a type of fast attack craft built in France for export during the 1970s and '80s.
The La Combattante was a German-French joint venture, proposed by the German government to combine a Lürssen-designed fast patrol boat with Aerospatiale's Exocet missile.
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 metres in length, and a typical armament of 1x76mm gun forward, 4x Exocet missiles in box launchers amidships, and a 40mm gun aft, though actual outfits varied according to the operators requirements.
The Israelis also built, or assisted in building, nine vessels for South Africa, at the time under embargo for its Apartheid policy.
