Summary
DescriptionMTB 102 (Motor Torpedo Boat).png |
English: One of the boats in the "Dunkirk Little Ships" section of the Diamond Jubilee flotilla. The description from the official boat listings says: MTB's (Motor Torpedo Boats) were developed to be able to mount a quick response to threats from any sea-going vessel, either warship or submarine. MTB 102 was completed and launched in May 1937 and ran trials on The Solent. She saw active service mainly in the English Channel. During 'Operation Dynamo', the evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force, she crossed the Channel no less than seven times. In 1944 she carried Winston Churchill and General Eisenhower to review the ships assembled on the South Coast for the D-Day landings and so saw both the end of the desperate evacuation of the British Forces from Europe and the start of their determined return. |
