E-boat (german ‘schnellboot’ or ‘s-boat’) type: motor torpedo boat (mtb) history: identified by the british for some ill described purpose as an e-boat (‘enemy boat’), the german schnellboot, or s-boot, differed significantly from the royal navy counterparts.. Schnellboot (s-boot) / (e-boat) motor torpedo boat development of schnellboots were not restricted by the versailles treaty following the end of world war 1 - hence german construction of the type prior to world war 2.. In difference to other german fast attack boats, the ships of the "leichte schnellboote" class were never planned to operate by their own. instead, they should be based on auxiliary cruisers or other vessels operating in overseas areas to support the operations of the mother ship..
German s-100 class schnellboot (fast boat) these were also called s-boot or e-boat by the allies. they emerged from the north sea mist, launched their torpedo's and disappeared just as quickly. they were sometimes called the "greyhounds of the sea".. As an example for these designs- including hydrofoils, jet powered boats or submergible crafts - the projects of the small attack craft group (k-verband) by wendel are shown. operating in coastal waters, the offensive s-boats (called e-boats - enemy boats - by the allied), were a very effective weapon.. The two boats "tm 52" and "tm 53"(30,8 t, at length 21,40 m, beam 6,05 m, and draught 1,14 m) already finished by gusto v.v., schiedam, according to english power boats plans (type pv) in steel were conquered during the occupation of the netherlands and commissioned and tested by the kriegsmarine as "s 201" and "s 202"..
