The British Navy and the Canadian Navy had two classes of Motor Torpedo Boats. The photo is of the ship my father served on during WW2, MTB 735.
The 65th Canadian Motor Torpedo Boat Flotilla (Fairmile Type "D") 115 ft. Hard-chine pre-fabricated double mahogany, the hull being sub-divided into nine watertight compartments. Driven by Four Packard 12 cylinder 1250 horsepower supercharged patrol engines two underslung rudders carried 5200 gallons of 100% octane gas, range at maximum continuous speed 506 NAUTICAL miles. Two Ford V-8 auxiliary engines to provide electric power.
Displacement: Standard; 102 tons as MTB, 90 tons as MGB
Deep Load; 118 and 107 tons.
Length: 115 ft (35 m)
Beam: 20 ft 10 in (6.4 m)
Draught: 4 ft 9 in (1.4 m) to 4 ft 11 in (1.5 m) Mean deep load.
Propulsion: 4 x Packard 4M 2500 petrol engines for a total of 5,000 hp
Speed: 29 knots at full load
