Victory at Sea - Regia Marina Submarines & MTB Sections

Italian submarine forces operated in the Mediterranean and out of captured French ports against Allied shipping in the Atlantic. Some were specifically designed for commerce raiding, armed with more, but smaller, torpedo tubes which allowed a larger salvo to be launched at a convoy, increasing the chances of a hit. The Italian Navy was one of the most forward-thinking during WWI for motor boat development and tactics. During WWII the Regia Marina continued this trait, fielding the much respected MAS and MS boats in deadly flotillas in the Mediterranean against allied shipping.
