The Soviet D-3 torpedo boats were produced at the same time as the G-5 boats, but were capable of completing a far greater range of tasks than their competitors. Meet a new boat in the USSR tech tree!

The small D-3 torpedo boat was designed in Leningrad throughout 1939-1940. In August 1940, an experimental prototype was accepted for testing by the Black Sea Fleet, the boat being deployed in the same year. Although the D-3 differed only slightly from the G-5 in her armament and size, she showed excellent potential in terms of the tasks it could complete. The D-3 stood out from its competitor with her higher maneuverability and range, reliability of parts and of the design as a whole, her improved navigational equipment and the presence of a habitable deck allowed the D-3 to be used as a light and quick landing transport.





The military effectiveness of the D-3 boat is perfectly illustrated by the actions of these vessels in the course of the amazingly successful landing operation by the Soviet Northern Fleet in Liinakhamari and the military action that preceded the winning stroke. The D-3 boats not only effectively fought against Axis convoys, but also played a decisive role in capturing artillery batteries at the fiord of Petsamo, delivering landing parties to enemy fortifications under devastating fire from the shore. This military operation showed the excellent survivability of the D-3 – although her hull was constructed from wood of various types, the torpedo boats could withstand hundreds of penetrating hits and still get her crew out from under enemy fire.

During wartime, a range of problems were revealed in the industry of Imperial Japan. For example, the Japanese did not have the necessary infrastructure to produce modern petrol engines and thus were incapable of manufacturing powerful torpedo boats, even though there was a great need for this class of vessel. The Mitsubishi company proposed a design for a small single-engine torpedo boat that was equipped with a 920 hp petrol engine. In spite of its small size and low power, this engine was capable of carrying two torpedoes. By decreasing the weight and dimensions of the design as much as possible, the Japanese were able to mass-produce these little torpedo boats. And so the T-14 Class torpedo boat was born – an entirely wooden design, just 15 meters long, and with a displacement of 14-15 tons.





This little Japanese boat was nonetheless well prepared for an encounter with the enemy. Shipbuilders mounted two torpedo tubes, housing Type 44 torpedoes (450 mm caliber). In the stern, there was enough space for six depth charges weighing 160 kg each. However, the boat’s anti-air armament was weak: all she had was a high-caliber 13.2 mm machine gun with a 30-round magazine. The subsequent modifications received the Type 96 25mm Gun. Its magazine could only hold 15 rounds, but a cannon is a cannon. The machine gun had a hard time effectively defending the boat.
