Generally armed with tworear-mounted machine guns, it was powered by a 250 HP Hall Scott petrolengine or a 225 HP Gray diesel engine.

The armor was very light, protecting the diesel engine, which enabled the LCM to reach a maximum speed of 8 knots, and the crew required for navigation and close defense, consisting of four men.

Small craft were not covered by these stipulations and resulted in the development of motor torpedo boats starting in the late 1920s. ?The design was based on a civil yacht which was, however, modified to be able to transport two torpedoes: the S-1. ?The evolution of the design continued until it reached, in its most advanced models, 35 meters in length weighing in at 100 metric tons. Even room for secondary armaments was progressively increased. The construction was composite, with aluminium beams and wooden planking. The characteristic ironclad deckhouse appeared with the S-100 model and was a necessary response to increased Allied air superiority and to the intensified low flying air attacks being flown. The boats were primarily used to attack allied ships in the coastal areas of the British Isles, but were also used for operations in the Mediterranean and Black seas, usually under cover of dark. Starting in 1943, after great part of the Kriegsmarine had been either destroyed or immobilised, these motor torpedo boats were among the few vessels still in the water and able to perform military operations, exposing them to a progressively increasing number of battles and the consequent grave losses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Italeri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51771384529163,"sku":"5603","price":175.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/italeri-5603-schnellboot-typ-s-100-1.jpg?v=1750694871"},{"product_id":"italeri-5607-1-35-schnellboot-crew","title":"Schnellboot Crew","description":"\u003cp\u003eA complete kit with 10 crew men to make your Schnellbot model even more realistic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Italeri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51771384955147,"sku":"5607","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/italeri-5607-schnellboot-crew-1.jpg?v=1750694945"},{"product_id":"italeri-5609-1-35-biber-class-midget-submarine","title":"Biber-Class Midget Submarine","description":"\u003cp\u003eCONTAINS 2 FIGURES\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ’Biber’ was the most well-known ’pocket’ submarine used by the Kriegsmarine during the latter part of World War II.

In 1935 Teseo Tesei and Elios Toschi developed and perfected the Siluro a Lenta Corsa (S.L.C.), which was more informally known as ’Maiale” (Pig). This was a torpedo modified to allow it to be guided underwater by two operators equipped with respirators. It was intended to carry a high explosive warhead under the keel of enemy ships. The modified torpedoes had limited speed, were fitted with a guidance system and held batteries that powered the electric motor which guaranteed a range of 12-15 miles. The most notable action of these Italian Navy raiders took place on 19th December 1941. Transported by the submarine ’Scirè’ to the strongly defended Alexandria harbour, the S.L.C.’s were able to attack and disable for several months, Royal Navy battleships H.M.S: Valiant and the H.M.S.

Closing in on the target, the pilot then adjusted the rudder to maintain  direction and propelled the fast small boat on a collision course to the target. The pilot, positioned at the stern, jumped from the craft at a safe distance before the collision. The high explosive charge positioned in the bow of the Barchino detonated upon impact against the target.
