IIRC, they also operated the Bréguet 1150 Atlantic patrol/ASW prop plane.

Yes, they did:

Until 1994, when CFE treat obligations kicked in, the Deutsche Marine (until 1990: Bundesmarine, engl. Federal Navy) operated two wings of 48 Tornado IDS each. They were employed in a naval strike, wild-weasel and reconnaissance role. In 2005 the second wing was disbanded, its Tornados transferred to the Luftwaffe for the same mission. Main strike missile was the Kormoran and later the Harpoon.
