Narrative |
After the construction of the first "barchini" (small boats) M.T.S. (Modified Torpedo Touring Boats) in summer of 1941, the Regia Marina studied some improvements which produced the the M.T.S.M.A., an enlarged version of the previous model. The first version had a displacement of 1.75 tons and dimensions of 7.1 x 2.1 x 0.5 meters. The engine was a gasoline-powered 90HP which produced a maximum speed of 28 knots with an authonomy of 90 miles. |
|
| In the "modified" version, produced in 1941, the displacement
was increased to 3 tons and the dimensions to 8.4 x 2.2 x 0.6 meters. The power plan
was
doubled and the output was increased to 190 HP total for a speed of 32 knots and a range
of 200 miles. The version M.T.S.M.A. was further improved with the installation of a
single cabin for both operators which differed from the previous version which had two
distinct cockpits built in tandem Translated from: "Imagini di Storia - Decima MAS: I mezzi d'assalto della Marina Italiana" - N7 gennaio 1995 |
