Good afternoon, guys!

In the mid 1970s, CMN decided to improve the Combattante II missile boat, enlarging it by 9 meters, improving seaworthiness and interior space, the resulting design was named La Combattante III, and the first customer was the Greek Navy with 4 vessels built in France and armed with Exocet MM38 missiles, and with further 6 more vessels built in Greece, but armed with Penguin (6) missiles.

Tunisia placed an order for 3 boats, armed with 8 Exocet MM40 missiles. Qatar also ordered botas armed with this missile.

Finally, Nigeria bought 3 missileless (according to the italian wiki) boats.

Nice to see these also.

Those MM38 canisters are the old ones and probably on Greek Combattante III torpedo tubes need updating.

Pretty nice little drawings, although I feel like the gun director could use some artist TLC.
