A net breaker/remover, to get into enemy harbours or ships to attack them?

Jimbuna · 06-24-21, 08:52 AM

A "Maiale"?

Buddahaid · 06-24-21, 09:47 AM

Both are the right idea but wrong method.

I can't find nuthin' on Eyetalian offensive harbor net/boom tenders either!

Buddahaid · 06-24-21, 12:58 PM

Related to nets, but nothing to do with servicing or destroying them.

Clue: WWI with more than 400 built.

Catfish · 06-24-21, 01:09 PM

To overcome floating nets? Like climbing over/tucking them down?

Buddahaid · 06-24-21, 01:33 PM

Yes.

A "barchino saltatore"

Never heard or saw this .. nice riddle.
Seems it is the
"Grillo (grasshopper), a torpedo-armed electric-powered punt with chain ‘tracks’ running around the hull. These allowed it to climb over the anti-submarine and anti-torpedo nets which were laid around the battleships.

Development of the first Barchino Saltatore (jumping punts) started in 1917. The craft was a small wooden boat of about eight tonnes, 16m (52ft) long and just 3.1m (10ft) across. It was generally not considered seaworthy due to its small size and slow speed but it was suitable for operations in sheltered waters such as harbors, which was the point. It had a four-man crew and carried two 450mm (17.7”) torpedoes on davits that could be swung out over the side of the boat to allow the torpedoes to be dropped into the water."

Buddahaid · 06-24-21, 06:20 PM
