MTB 102
MTB 102, in the context of World War II naval operations, typically refers to a Motor Torpedo Boat numbered 102. Motor Torpedo Boats (MTBs) were small, fast attack craft used primarily by the British Royal Navy and other Allied forces. These boats were designed for high-speed raids against larger enemy vessels, particularly in coastal waters. Their primary armament consisted of torpedoes, but they often carried machine guns or light cannons for defense and close-range engagements.
MTB 102, without further specification, could refer to a specific boat within a particular nation's navy. The number "102" would be a hull number used to identify that particular vessel. Locating detailed information about the specific service history of an MTB identified solely by its hull number (MTB 102 in this instance) often requires accessing naval records, historical archives, or specialized maritime history resources. Details such as its construction date, commissioning date, wartime service (including battles or operations it participated in), and eventual fate (sinking, decommissioning, or other disposition) would vary depending on the specific boat.
