The La Combattante IIa-class fast attack craft is a class of fast attack craft originally built for the German Navy as the Type 148 Tiger-class fast attack craft. They were later transferred to the Hellenic Navy and the class was renamed Combattante IIa, as with similar French made ships. All the ships were under mid-life updates in 1980s. Two vessels in the class, P-74 and P-75, were fitted with RGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missiles and a new ESM was fitted after transfer.

A version called the Beir Grassa-class, of which ten were built and eight were operational as of 1995, were used by the Libyan Navy. One had been sunk and another disabled during a 1986 confrontation with US forces.

Iran ordered twelve ships of the same class (known in Iran as Kaman-class), nine of which were delivered in 1977 and 1978, and three of which were delayed until 1981 as a result of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. he Iranian fast attack craft Paykan was sunk during Operation Morvarid in 1980, while Joshan was sunk by American frigate USS Simpson during Operation Praying Mantis in 1988. In the 2010s, Iran built a heavily upgraded version of this class called the Sina-class.
