I have been following this thread closely on my iPad while I am here in Ireland. My father was a crew member on Royal Canadian Navy MTB 735 during World War 2. There were two types with the larger versions like my dad's ship being powered by 4 Packard marine engines.The book John mentioned is a must read for anyone interested in the exploits of these gallant seamen fighting in the English Channel and the Scheldt Estuary. My father's ship was in the D Day invasion 69 years ago today protecting the troop carriers from the German Navy E boats as they made their way across the channel.
