Their small size and high speed made them difficult targets for German E-boatsthough, like these opponents, they were limited by heavy weather, when they did not provide a stable enough platform to aim the guns. MGBs were extremely heavily armed for vessels of their size. They were also equipped with smoke-making equipment, basic radar and depth charges. In the early years of the war, they saw action defending shipping against enemy torpedo boats such as the German E-boats on the southern and eastern coasts of the UK. MGBs were also involved in the protection of shipping after D-Day. Ryder and William Savagethe gunner of the unprotected two pounder gun on MGBreceived Victoria Crosses for their part in the raid.

They were formed into flotillas which often operated alongside motor torpedo boats or US PT boats [2] and helped interdict supplies being sent from Italy to Axis forces in North Africa in After this campaign, they moved northwards and assisted with the invasion of SicilySardiniaCorsica and Elba. From island bases they patrolled along the western coast of Italy attacking small coastal ships and E-boats until mid As Italy was progressively liberated, certain flotillas, such as the 56th, were sent around to the Adriatic to assist partisans in the islands off Yugoslavia. The crews generally referred to them by their numbers. InMGB was fitted with a Metrovick gas turbine, thereby becoming the world's first gas turbine powered naval vessel.
