ONE OF THE THE NAVY’S MORE RECENT AND DEADLIEST CRAFT, the MOTOR TORPEDO BOAT, is a warship in miniature with all the added advantage of lightning speed and manoeuvrability. The M.T.B. is a waster of "hit hard and dodge” tactics. She can get into position, release her deadly torpedo, and be out of range in less than no time. She is a very small target and her shallow draft gives her immunity from mine and torpedo. A broadside view of British Motor Torpedo Boats at sea.
