Project history: USN 78ft Higgins-built MTBs, commissioned in 1943 and served on Mediterranean sea. After conversion to gunboats they were temporarily transferred 17.10.1944 to Yugoslavian Royal Navy, but kept original USN numbers. Formally thus they were registered as transferred on lend-lease to Great Britain and had nominal RN designations MGB181-188. 8.8.1945 in Split they were officially transferred by USA to Yugoslavian Navy, and renamed MTP1-8.
Modernizations: late 1945, all: + 2 - 450 TT.
Naval service: MTP8 in the late forties wrecked at Rijeka, and never was commissioned again (has been used as a prototype for project 108 MTBs Yugoslavian) and in 1955 was stricken. Remaining boats in the early fifties received new designations TC101-107 and served till 1956.
