Project history: So-called "12-ton" boats designed by A. Bisio (SVAN) and built by different builders in 1916-1918. Boats differed from each other by armaments and engines. Some (1, 4 and 6th series) were extra equipped with 10hp electric motors for silent running. During WWII survived MTBs reached no more than 10-15kts for no longer than 1 hour.
Modernizations: 1926, all survived: electric motors were removed, Fiat engines were replaced by Isotta Fraschini ones (700hp, 27kts, 230(10)nm); - 1 x 1 - 57/43.
Naval service: No significant events.
