Jaguar class fast attack craft
- Jaguar class fast attack craft
The Type 140 "Jaguar" class fast attack craft is an evolution of the German torpedo boats (E boats) of World War II. The 20 boats that were build for the german Navy were in Service from 1959 to 1976. Then the Jaguar class boats were replaced in service with the Bundesmarine by the Type 148 "Tiger" class fast attack craft.
The Jaguar class Boats were relatively well suited for high sea action. In NATO strategy it was their duty to intercept landing operations in the Baltic Sea, prevent transfers of ships of the Soviet Union and keep the transatlantic supply lines open through the north-sea.
In Turkey Jaguar class Boats were build under Licence as Kartal class.
The "Type 141 "Seeadler" fast attack craft" differs from the Type 140 only in the Type of engines.
