What's humorous to me is when I 1st started seeing these a few years ago (they looked great but I was so dissappointed they were quartz), I thought they were called ORCA (you know - dive watch and all)!

Orsa class torpedo boat

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search
The Orsa class were a group of large torpedo boats or destroyer escorts built for the Italian Navy in the late 1930's. They were an enlarged version of the Spica class, with more endurance and a greater depth charge load but less powerful machinery and a lighter gun armament. Surviving pair rebuilt as anti submarine frigates in the 1950's.

anti-aircraft guns
  • 8 13.2 mm (0.52 in) anti-aircraft machine guns
  • 6 450 mm torpedo tubes
  • 6 Depth charge throwers
