LOL.
The Brits made several versions (called MTBs) - most had 3 V12 motors, made more than 4,000 HP and did about 40 knots.
I'm not really into boats, but I think that's not too frickin' shabby for a 70ft boat weighing 50 tons. I thought these things were pretty awesome when I was a kid. I'd have one restored if I won the lottery,
A lot were stripped and sold as houseboats after the war.... Kind of an ignoble end.
