Feb. 02, 1973 - INS Reshef - New Israel Missile boat: Israel Shipyards will later this month launch the first of several missile boats, built entirely in Israel. The new ship the IN Reshef has almost twice the fire power of the Saar-class ''Cherbourg'' missile boats currently in service and three times the range. The Ins Reshef is powered by four German made Maybach diesel engines. It carries six to eight Gabriel sea to sea missiles and its other armaments include two 76mm anti-aircraft guns, light machine guns and four depth charges.
