S66 Greif (P6116) was a speedboat of the German Navy . It belonged to class 143 ( Albatros class ). Built at the Lürssen shipyard in Bremen-Vegesack, it was initially assigned to the 2nd Schnellbootgeschwader in Olpenitz . After German reunification, the squadron and the 7th Schnellbootgeschwader were relocated to Rostock / Hohe Düne . In the course of a regrouping, five boats from the 2nd Schnellbootgeschwader changed to the 7th Schnellbootgeschwader and vice versa. This included the Greif until it was decommissioned in 2005, before it was sold to Tunisia together with six other Class 143 boats, where it continues to be used under the name Hannon .
