Siluri umani (internationally released as Human Torpedoes) is a 1954 Italian war film credited to Antonio Leonviola, who abandoned production and was substituted by director Carlo Lizzani (uncredited).

Here they are told that a special operation against the Royal Navy is planned in Crete, which will require highly qualified personnel.

The tactic is to sneak up on the enemy ships at night and then head towards the target at top speed.

Shortly before the collision, the speedboat drivers, who are wearing diving suits, are supposed to jump backwards off the boats.

However, since the wreck lies in shallow waters, there is an opportunity to rescue part of the crew, who are in an area of the boat separated by bulkheads.
