The Type 148 Tiger-class fast attack missile craft (FACM) is a modification of the French La Combattante IIa design for the German Navy. The La Combattante IIa's had been designed by Lürssen of Germany for Israel, but were built in France by Constructions Mécaniques de Normandie in Cherbourg (CMN) for political reasons. Eight of the boats were laid down by CMH, but completed by Lürssen.

The boats were commissioned into the Bundesmarine in the mid-1970s, replacing the Jaguar-class vessels of the 3rd and 5th Squadrons. At first the boats did not receive names, only numbers, but these were introduced later at the insistence of the crews.

The boats served for 30 years, and received major updates in 1982-84 and 1990-92. 

After decommissioning they were scrapped or sold to different countries.
