VERY cool, thanks a lot for sharing this Luciano!
Indeed a cool looking little boat and a great point of history. There is a fine picture of the Oleg sinking on one side available, a peaceful end it seems.
I have also another pic one of these brit boats -or better still, what's left of one of them after red shots.
I think those boats also damaged and sank in her harbour (Kronstadt) my prefered pre-dreadnought ever: the Pamiat Azova.
So that's not a MAS, but that's really cool nonetheless
now for some plans

Very nice Luciano. Thanks for sharing.

Littorio,

Great walk around. I have one question though. In the wright up it said these small boats would carry one or two torpedos......where did they store them and how would they fire them?

Hi Frank,

The boat in question CMB4 carried one torpedo in a trough on the stern decking, to fire the torpedo, it was released backwards out of the boat which then got out of the way quickly.

Ciao
Luciano

Very similar to this one, my friend...
