History of MTB Vosper Torpedo Boat

MTB Vosper, or more accurately, the 70 ft Vosper MTB, was a class of 28 Royal Navy motor torpedo boats built between 1938 and 1942. After World War II, several were sold to the Italian Navy who continued to operate them in small number.

533 mm Mk.IX torpedo

The Mk.IX is a British torpedo fitted to a significant number of cruisers. Cruisers other than Japanese cruisers rarely use the torpedo effectively in combat. Occasionally, however, an enemy may be jabbed, or the enemy may be unexpectedly close. In such cases, torpedoes can provide an easy way to defeat the enemy, or a way out of a difficult situation. In this case, the British torpedo is of rather average performance, and a few hits would probably sink the cruiser. Read more about the Mk.IX in the article.
