Motor torpedo boats based at Malta

The Malta craft were probably Fairmile C motor gun launches rather than Fairmile D Dog Boats.

Question

Were Dog Boats based at Malta?

Short answer

The boats were probably Fairmile C motor gun launches rather than Dog Boats, but the identification needs verification.

Notes

The identification remains provisional. Torpedo boats operated from Malta, but the likely craft were Fairmile C motor gun launches rather than Fairmile D Dog Boats. The distinction needs a vessel-level source check before it can be stated firmly.
