 Decima Flottiglia MAS - Italian Naval Special Forces WW2 

The Decima Flottiglia MAS was an Italian flotilla, with marines and commando frogman unit, of the Regia Marina (Royal Italian Navy). 

Decima MAS was active during the Battle of the Mediterranean and took part in a number of daring raids on Allied shipping. These operations involved surface speedboats (such as the raid on Souda Bay), human torpedoes (the raid on Alexandria) and Gamma frogmen (against Gibraltar). During the campaign, Decima MAS took part in more than a dozen operations which sank or damaged five warships (totalling 78,000 tons) and 20 merchant ships (totalling 130,000 GRT).
