Orsa class torpedo boat

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.
