Suda’s company. When a lot of guts were enough for big business

There was a period in history when the Italian Navy achieved great results with little more than the courage of a handful of men. The exploits of the X MAS raiders against the British fleet brought more fear and damage than a battleship. Yet they were only men.

In the video we propose of God Save The Vintage, the first enterprise of these men is presented: the assault on the English fleet anchored in Crete, in the bay of Suda. In this case the attack was not submarine, but carried out using six explosive small boats, which were nothing more than adapted sports motorboats and with the possibility of overcoming the anti-torpedo nets on the surface. There were 6 small boats and in the night between 25 and 26 March 1941 they attacked the English fleet. Of six small boats, three struck British ships, the cruiser York and the oil tanker Pericles. The Italian sailors were all saved.

Today the war is now waged with drones.
