Here http://www.worldnavalships.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3420&page=4 description of the battle of three British MTB six German E-boats at Cape Gris Nez, the MTB 70 while fighting them alone, although he was armed with only four 0.303 machine guns. But it is not specified when the battle took ...

Thank you. I also suggested that any description of attack has been applied to two cases. Then to attack a ship this description refers? Based on excerpts from the German documents, a description of the attack Santos. But who then sank Birkenfels? And whether or 4th MTB Flotilla sank two trawlers 10...

It is unclear to attack any vessel relates the story of Jefferson, which is the same for both. Given the link German KTB indicate that both ships were attacked by MTB depth charges. Laut KTB BSW   1-12-1940: Geleite sind wegen Nebel nur teilweise durchgeführt. Die              Vorposten-Rotte V 2004...

Here http://www.forum-marinearchiv.de/smf/index.php?topic=4256.0 we describe two completely identical in every detail MTB attack on two different vessel - 12/01/1940 Santos and 18/12/1940 Birkenfels with directions to the sources. Even attacked the same MTB. Is this a bug, and details the attack on ...

14th MTB Flotilla participated in the battles with the AF-barges night 25/26 and 26/27 August nearby Fecamp and many of them killed by torpedoes. Is there any details of these fights?

In Wartime Activities
14th MTB Flotilla assets not written about this fight with a German convoy of 23/24 June 1944 at the Cape de la Hogue. MTV torpedo sank the AF-66 and several merchant ships. There are details about this fight?

Thank you very much. It is a pity that it is not known what the MTB and MGB participated in the attack.

Here http://www.naval-history.net/xGM-Chrono-10DE-HMS_Fernie.htm write that (For details see HOLD THE NARROW SEA by P Smith, THE BATTLE OF THE NARROW SEAS by P Scott and Naval Staff History.) That in these books written about the participation of MTB and MGB in the battle with the raider and his esc...

If there was a battle with the MTB, it would be a memoir describing it, or the memories of participants in the forums. But we have nothing. Described in detail with respect to only attack the British destroyers, with their names and the injuries.

If the British archives have no documentary evidence of the participation of MTB and MGB in the attacks on the German commercial raider and his escort in the Channel 14/03/1942, may they never existed? Perhaps S.Roskill repeated the German version of the fight, and in fact the Germans were shooting ...

When MTB relocated from Bari to the islands off the coast of Yugoslavia?

Where then did the information about participation in the attack MTB-276, which is now featured in all communications about the death of "Niobe"?

Thank you. But all sources say that with MTB-298 was MTB-276 and not MTB-226!

Help to learn more attacks MTB 298 and 276 of the German cruiser Niobe December 22, 1943 near the island of Silba. He could not find any English description nor fleet nor the names of the commanders. In Italian, German and Croatian sites describe in detail only the actions of the German forces.

And when the other boats of the 10th Flotilla MTB arrived in Kastellorizo​​?

MGB 646 War Activities 22/10/43 MGB 645, MGB 646 and MGB 647 render assistance to the Greek destroyer Adrias, mined in the Aegean This reference indicates that the MGB 19th flotilla only arrived in Alexandria to go to the Aegean Sea on October 24. So when they arrived at the MGB Kastellorizo ​​and ...

Good day. To the previous issue of MTB-313 I want to attach a question about boats of the same 10th Flotilla MTB 266 and MTB-315 - which German ships they attacked and sank in the Bay of Alinda morning 15.11.1943.

Please help with the details of the battles the British MTBs and MGB and American PTs with German F-barges 27/03/1944 and 24/25.04.1944 at Vado.

Link, in 1945 at the 28th MTB Flotilla Adriatic torpedoes sank many F-barge. These barges very little sediment, making them virtually invulnerable to torpedoes with a contact fuze. Torpedoes with which fuse used MTB 28th Flotilla?

There is also a very detailed account of that action of MTB 670 and MGB 643 in Rover Reynolds book " Dog Boats at War " page 234 where he records the later information from German records of the action , and also a letter had received much later from a Yugoslav diving instructor re the si...

The National Archive has an account of the sinking of MTB 220 by one of its crew. This has not been digitised but a copy could be ordered on-line.

Trying to reconstruct the course of this action. With the German and Croatian versions I know. Lacking only English descriptions best report.

13 April 45 British motor torpedo boats MTB-670 and MTB-697 torpedoed and sunk the torpedo boat TA-45. The London Gazette entry for the second of actions listed may be read online by clicking the link provided. The actual citation reads: There is a report on this action? Participated in the action ...

There is also a photo of MGB 646 and a photo of a `Taffy' Hook on MGB 645.

What kind of gun aft at gunboats?

Thank you. Tell me why ML-130 in the last battle was with 3-pound Mk-1 Hotchkiss? I saw a photo of ML-134 same flotilla with 2-pound Rolls-Royce in front of the superstructure and the ML-462 with Oerlikon front and aft superstructure. Were at ML-130 Oerlikon?

English coastal positions and night "Beaufighter" reported early in the fight back in 01.43, but the ML-130 help no one came. To the battlefield RAF rescue boat arrived only to 05.00, even though it was only six miles from the entrance to Grand Harbour. Why from La Valletta nobody sent to ...

In German, the report says that prisoners with ML-130 told the three outputs ML-126 and -130 on patrol. The report referred to the Maltese command only two output ML until May 7. And equipment for trawling ML installed immediately or was installed in Malta?
