One anecdote has Royal Navy lorries collecting captured German and Italian equipment from an army store before unusual weapons appear aboard naval vessels. Rumours also place improvised armament on Fairmile boats in Alexandria. The boat type is uncertain: Alex thinks the stories concerned C boats rather than D boats, and doubts the crews kept the weapons for long. These examples suggest local willingness to experiment, while the rumours and uncertain identifications limit what can be established about particular installations.

Stories of captured weapons on small naval craft retain uncertainty about the boats and how long the installations lasted.
