E-boat was the Western Allies' designation for the fast attack craft (German: Schnellboot, or S-Boot, meaning "fast boat") of the Kriegsmarine during World War II; E-boat could refer to a patrol craft from an armed motorboat to a large Torpedoboot.[2] The name of E-boats was a British designation using the letter E for Enemy,[3][4]
The most popular, the S-100 class, were very seaworthy,[5] heavily armed and capable of sustaining 43.5 knots (80.6 km/h; 50.1 mph), briefly accelerating to 48 knots (89 km/h; 55 mph).[6] They were armed with torpedoes and Flak guns (one 37 mm at the stern and at least one 20 mm at the bow) plus machine guns; some had 40 mm cannons.[2]
These craft were 35 m (114 ft 10 in) long and 5.1 m (16 ft 9 in) in beam.[5] Their diesel engines provided a range of 700 to 750 nmi (810–860 mi; 1,300–1,390 km), substantially greater than the gasoline-fueled American PT boats and British motor torpedo boats (MTBs).[7]
As a result, the Royal Navy later developed better-matched MTBs, using the Fairmile 'D' hull design.
