Synopsis

A comprehensive study of the evolution, design, tactics and performance of fast fighting boats, their architects, boatbuilders and engineers, and the resulting successes and failures. Contemporary naval and economic factors, the dynamics of small boat design, an appraisal of Second World War performance, and their effects on the development of coastal motorboats, motor torpedo boats, motor gunboats, S- boats, MAS- boats, PT- boats, and fast patrol boats are recorded and analysed. The text is supported by diagrams and illustration.
