After starting this quest I have taken a big interest in MTB, MGB and Mls, also the German E boats. Am busy reading Flag 4 by Dudley Pope at the moment, a very interesting and informative account of small vessels in the Mediterranean. I love how, wherever possible, he quotes the report from the opposing vessels as well as the allied reports. How at least one Captain reported sinking a boat that wasn't even in that region!

I am really surprised how little credit is/was given to the crews who served on these vessels during the war. Not only were most of them volunteer reserves, but nearly all fought at such short range and showed extremely high levels of bravery. Where are all the Movies and documentaries about these guys?

So Soldier151, as far as I am concerned you can post as much information as possible about these creatures of stealth and speed!
