The back describes these fast attack craft, fifty to seventy feet long, armed with twin 18-inch torpedo tubes, anti-aircraft guns, and depth charges, and capable of over 45 knots, faster than their German and British counterparts. Italy's \"mosquito fleet\" of these nimble boats would go on to see extensive action in the Mediterranean during WWII.
