  • The Alster (A 50) is an intelligence ship of the German Navy. She is the lead ship of the German Navy's Type 423.

Her crew is a mixture of German Navy sailors and German Bundesnachrichtendienst (Federal Intelligence Agency) officers. On the 26th of October 2006, Israeli planes flew over the Alster while she was serving with the UNIFIL peacekeeping forces off the coast of Lebanon, stirring an international incident. German authorities declared that the planes had fired shots at the ship and evaded from the scene launching flares. The Israeli side, though denying that firing had occurred, acknowledged the incident and declared that no aggression was meant. Diplomatic activity resulted in a settlement, though none of the parties backed from its position.
