ManufacturerIsrael Shipyards Industries Ltd
The INS Sufa (Hebrew: סופה, Storm) is a Sa'ar 4.5-class missile boat of the Israeli Navy's Shayetet 3 Flotilla, built by Israel Shipyards Ltd. and commissioned in May 2003.
The ship is not the first to use this name, which was also used by a previous Sa'ar 3-class missile boat which was the command ship at "Operation Noa" in which the remaining 5 boats (including itself) escaped from Cherbourg (France) during the French embargo in 1969.
