Project history

70-ft BPB design.

Modernizations

1943-1944, most earlier: - type 286PU radar; + type 291U radar

1945, MTB520: - 1 x 1 - 57/43; + 1 x 1 - 114/19 8cwt QF Mk I

Naval service

1946: MTB481, 490 became controlled targets CT48, 49.

1947: Many MTB were reclassified to FPB (fast patrol boats)
