Howdy terry,

Well, it may be a typo, but its for certain that the number was changed when it was delivered to the UK because I found MTB-201 on a site which said:

MTB No.201 (38t, 27/11/41) sunk in action with surface craft, Dover Straits, English Channel, June 15, 1942

As you can see, that particular boat was in the wrong place and sunk long before the boat we are looking for. I found this information here:

British naval vessels lost at sea in World War 2 - La Combattante to Myrtle

However I could not find MGB-181 or MTB-181 on that site.

So, as they say in cheap detective novels........"The Plot thickens"

I will keep looking as time permits, have a good day,

Greg
