Three Viforul Class MTBs were built by Vospers in the United Kingdom and delivered to Romania in 1940. Romania received a license to build more boats, but they were unable to obtain the required manufacturing tools before Romania joined the Axis. Their greatest success was the sinking of the Soviet submarine Shch-206 when it had penetrated the defenses of the Port of Mangalia on 9 July 1941. Two of the boats were sunk when they hit debris from a sunken merchant vessel as they tried to rescue survivors.
