Tiger-class fast attack craft

The Type 148 Tiger-class fast attack craft are a group of missile boats built to a Franco-German design and seeing service in the German Navy.

They were a modification of the Jaguar-class fast attack craft but armed with the French Exocet missile.

Their export to Israel was also blocked for political reasons, and the boats were commissioned into the German Navy as the Tiger class.

A number of other boats were built by CMN for various navies to the same design, which became known as the La Combattante II type fast attack craft.

No direct replacements were procured as due to the changed operating conditions the Deutsche Marine has reduced the number of these fast attack boats drastically and procured instead a smaller number of corvettes.
