The ARM Huracán (A-301) is a missile boat in the Mexican Navy. Previously a Sa'ar 4.5-class missile boat in the Israeli Sea Corps named the INS Aliya, it was bought by Mexico and placed under control of the Mexican Navy[1]. Press reports indicates that the Israelis removed the Harpoon missile systems prior to the sale, however, the Gabriel anti-ship missile systems were included in the package.
The ARM Huracán was built by Israel Shipyards Ltd in 1981 and underwent a complete overhaul before it was transferred to the Mexican Navy on August 23, 2004.
