The ARM Huracán (A-301) is a missile boat in the Mexican Navy. Previously Israeli Navy Sa'ar 4.5-class missile boat INS Aliya, it was bought by Mexico for the Mexican Navy.[1] Press reports indicates that the Israelis removed the Harpoon missile systems prior to the sale, though the Gabriel anti-ship missile systems were included in the package.

ARM Huracán was built by Israel Shipyards Ltd in 1981 and underwent a complete overhaul before its transfer to the Mexican Navy on August 23, 2004.
