La X Mas, Montesano and the pages on the Navy website – Corriere.it

Here’s what we read: Direct heir to the glories of the violators of ports who amazed the world with their deeds in the First World War and gave the Italian Navy a hitherto unequaled record, the X Flotilla MASH demonstrated that the seed sown by heroes in the past has yielded good harvests. In numerous audacious undertakings, the daring assault departments of the Regia Marina, shaped and guided by the X Flottiglia MAS, were able to reach the enemy in the safest recesses of the well-equipped ports, sinking two battleships, two cruisers, a destroyer and numerous steamers for over 100,000 tons. Elected bundle of heroic spirits, the X Flottiglia MAS remained faithful to its motto: “For the King and the Flag”. Mediterranean, 1940 – 1943.
