    More like a hot rod, this class wasn't even 20 meters long and carried just two torpedoes and few guns. Even a PT boat considerably out-massed these boats at around 6 meters longer and about twice the displacement. (Despite that the last models with 3x 1,850 HP engines could approach 50 knots with a standard load, but crews tended to utilize this increase in power to allow maintaining previous speeds with a greater payload). These things were not ships in any sense of the word.

    This boat was based on the MAS 451, but it wasn't the actual MAS 451. MAS 451 was lost off Malta in the night between 18 and 19 May 1942. In a little known repetition of Nazario Sauro one of the survivors of that operation, Italo-Maltese Carmelo Borg Pisani was sentenced to death and killed by the British as a traitor, despite having renounced his British citizenship in 1940.
    EDIT:
