Chilean Sa'ar Class Attack Craft

The Chilean navy Sa'ar 4-class fast-attack craft Angamos and Casma
perform tactical maneuvering exercises in the Strait Of Magellan.


The Sa'ar 4 or Reshef class missile/attack boats were built at the Israel Shipyards and based on Israeli Navy designs grounded in accumulated experience derived in the operation of "Cherbourg" (Saar 3) class.

Sa'ar 4 ships first battle engagements were made in the October 1973 Yom Kippur War. During this war, two Sa'ar 4 ships engaged in missile battles with Egyptian and Syrian ships and coastal targets.
