The story begins in 1942 when it was completed with the denomination MS-24. It was assigned to the 2nd Squadron, operating in the Strait of Sicily. It carried out several rescue missions, when Tunisia fell it carried out rescue missions alongside several convoys to evacuate Italians and Germans who were not captured by the Allies in Tunisia. Before the armistice, it was taken to Gaeta for work, but the armistice occurred before repair work was finished. The MS-24 then participated in the advance of the Allies under Co-Belligerent Italy, in which it carried out several special missions to gather information on the German enemy lines at Anzio and Nettuno. At the end of the war, the vehicle was modernised. It was renamed to the MS-472 after several years and carried out coastal patrol and training missions until the 1970s. It was removed from service with its sister MS-473. MS-472 was displayed as a monument in Ravenna since 1981, while MS-473 was placed in storage at the Museum of Venice.

The MS-472 was introduced in Update "Starfighters". It is a torpedo boat with good speed and manoeuvrability, allowing it to attack larger ships. The MS-472's armament is composed of a single 40 mm Bofors at the front of the ship with fairly good firing range, however, if the seas are rough it will be very difficult to aim. It is equipped with two 450 mm torpedoes, excellent for sinking other ships with a single shot. For larger ships, aim at the hold to have a better chance of destroying it. Finally, the least important armament is its 8 depth charges, useful only for slow targets or those that are very close.
