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 .
The vessels had been designed by Lürssen of Germany for Israel . They were a modification of the Jaguar-class fast attack craft , but armed with the French Exocet missile. They were built mainly in France by Constructions Mécaniques de Normandie in Cherbourg (CMN) for political reasons; twelve were built and completed there, while another eight of the boats were laid down by CMH, but completed by Lürssen. Their export to Israel was also blocked for political reasons, and the boats were commissioned into the German Navy as the Tiger class.
