The Syöksy-class motor torpedo boats (Finnish: syöksy, lit. 'lunge'), also known as Nuoli-class motor torpedo boats (Finnish: nuoli, lit. 'arrow'), were four motor torpedo boats operated by the Finnish Navy. The vessels were 55-foot coastal motor boats (CMBs) designed by Thornycroft, and were built at the Thornycroft shipyard in Woolston, UK in 1928 (MTV 4 and MTV 5), and later at the Turku shipyard in Turku (MTV 6) and the Borgå shipyard in Porvoo (MTV 7), Finland.
The vessels saw service in World War II. The 55-foot CMBs designed by Thornycroft were released their torpedoes by dropping them from rails in the aft. The boat then had to steer away from the torpedoes path, a manoeuvre that could be quite tricky in the close waters of the Gulf of Finland.
In 1942, the vessels received individual identification symbols on their superstructures. Nuoli had the ace of hearts, Vinha the ace of clubs, Syöksy the ace of diamonds, and Raju the ace of spades.
