NMS Vedenia

NMS Vedenia was a Second World War motor torpedo boat of the Romanian Navy.

In 1940, Romania acquired a class of three Vospers type motor torpedo boats,[1] led by NMS Viscolul.

[2] Numbered 4 to 9, the six boats were launched in 1939 and were fitted out to largely emulate the Vospers boats, having the same length (70 feet/21.33 meters), the same displacement (30 tons), the same top speed (41 knots) and the same torpedo armament (two 21 inch/533 mm torpedo tubes).

They differed in terms of artillery, each boat having two 20 mm autocannons as opposed to eight machine guns.

[3] The names of the six boats, in order of their numbering, were: Vedenia, Vântul, Vijelia, Viforul, Vârtejul and Vulcanul.
