MTSM motor torpedo boat
The MTSM motor torpedo boat (Motoscafo da Turismo Silurante Modificato) was a series of small motor torpedo boats developed by the Regia Marina (Italian Royal Navy) during World War II.
The vessel was an improved version of the Motoscafo da Turismo Silurante (MTS) motor torpedo boat. This was achieved through a larger sea-going hull with reinforced keel and a sharper stem. The MTSM was designed to be towed by larger motorboats into the target area. Once there, the MTSM could carry out a torpedo attack on moored or stationary ships. The boat could also be transported over land on trailers.
