In Denmark this class counts as Class S 61 "Albatros" with 20 boats and includes two German classes i.e. Class 143 "Albatros" and Class 143 A "Gepard". Although the boats have the same hull and propulsion, they are so different in superstructure, armament, ECM-equipment and Command and Control hardware and software, that the owner - the German Navy - gave them different class-indications. S-Boot Class 143 A Classes S-Boat 143 (Albatros) and S-Boat 143 a (Gepard) are in international context also called "S 61-Class" although the boats are different in weapon-fit, superstructure and mast.
