- Isku class motor torpedo boat
The Isku class motor torpedo boat ( _en. Strike) was a Thornycroft type
motor torpedo boat of theFinnish Navy . The vessel was constructed in 1926 by the "Borgå varv", inPorvoo , Finland, and she saw service inWorld War II ."Isku" differed from the original Thornycraft design through its torpedo launching method (they were released from the sides of the hull, in contrast to dropping them from the aft). However, she was not a successful design and she only participated in the
Winter War and during the first months of theContinuation War . She was stricken from the navy lists in 1942, due to extensive wear damage on the hull. She was moored atSuomenlinna and was scrapped after the war.Vessels of the class
