The Type 143 Albatros-class was a German class of missile bearing fast attack craft. Each vessel is named after a bird of prey including the albatross, condor and cormorant. Constructed by German shipbuilders Lürssen and Kröger, the vessels were intended to replace the Type 141 Seeadler-class. The German Navy retired the class in 2005 and sold the boats off to Tunisia and Ghana.
