Description

Explore the history of small craft that challenged major navies throughout history. This illustrated history covers the evolution of the torpedo boat, a fast vessel armed with a propelled high explosive warhead. From the American Civil War to the rise of missile boats during the Cold War, these boats changed naval warfare. The book traces the impact of these vessels, from ancient times to modern developments like the Ukrainian mass suicide drone boat attacks against the Russian Black Sea fleet in October 2022. Discover the story of small crews dashing at high speed through heavy fire to deliver powerful strikes against much larger enemy ships.
