Here something I've yet to seen posted. Modern workhorse during late cold war era developed originally by the French Navy, La Combattante-class Fast Attack Craft (FAC).
Joint venture between Germany & France, produce this vessel, modern version of the torpedo boats.
The original ship, L
a Combattante"The Fighter" (P730), was first built in 1963, as patrol boat. However, she became genesis of number of variant classes based on her design.
These Guided Missile Craft are all about going fast and hitting with the Anti-Ship Missiles, getting out of harms way hopefully in one piece.
Picture is the Greek Navy's (former German Tiger variant of the FAC), HS
Pezopoulos, P-73.
I wasn't able locate the picture of the original
La Combattante however, whom was scrapped 1994.
