@RobertRuhi To tell the truth the best 2nd W.W.has been made by italians frog men in Alexandria (Egypt) 21 december 1941 .Six italian frog men put out of use and dstroyed the best britsh war ship in the mediterrean sea.Churchill in a secret speech metioned it and told the best compliment to italian Navy official Corvette Capitain Junio Valerio Borghese. He planned the succesful raid.Till now day British navy remember the great lesson...

the israeli S-13 used these techniques against british and arab shipping to great success after ww2.

These missions always fascinate me because you never know about them in history books unless it is specifically about covert operations.

I can't see the point of having a canoe team to support a power boat weapon. Surely another power boat would be better in order to make a speedy getaway.

[Olentzaro]

@alanheath I beliebe the problem with that is that all power boats back then made too much noise if they are sneaking in at night.
