520 Built of plywood and measuring 115 feet long, powered by
four supercharged petrol engines and armed to the teeth
with heavy weapons, the D Class Motor Gun Boats (MGBs) and
Motor Torpedo Boats (MTBs) were better known as Dog Boats
and played havoc with enemy shipping in home and foreign
waters. During three years of war they engaged the enemy
on more than 350 occasions, sinking and damaging many
ships. Dog Boats at War is the authoritative account of
operations by the Royal Navy’s D Class MGBs and MTBs in
World War II in home, Mediterranean, and Norwegian waters.
As well as drawing on official records—both British and
German—the author has contacted several hundred Dog Boat
veterans whose eye witness accounts add drama to the
unfolding story.
