Vosper company became famous, during the Second World War, for the
production of small and fast Motor Torpedo Boats (MTB) and Motor Gun
Boats (MGB) for the Royal Navy. Among the various boats in production,
the Vosper MTB 72’6" were characterized by a significant life cycle with
different mission profiles as the coastal patrol and the anti-submarine
support in the North Sea and English Channel. Moves from 3 engines with
and impressive power of 4,200 hp, Vosper MTB was able to reach a speed
close to 40 knots (70 km/h). The first versions were introduced at the
beginning of the war but were gradually introduced new variants, type I
and type II, which were characterized by a different combination of
offensive and defensive weaponry. They were usually armed with 457 mm
torpedo tubes., depth charges, and 0.303" Vickers machine guns or, more
rarely, from 0.5" Vickers machine guns , for air defence. The crew consisted of 10 to 13 men.
