The Royal Navy didn't have any MTB of that size at the beginning of the hostilities. The older German S-2 to S-5 were of similar size as the S-151. Did the German enlarged the hulls or these were of a new design?

Can't tell you at the moment, but I'll dive deeper in this subject later on today or tomorrow, because I know the subject of the Bulgarian and Romanian mtb's provided by the Kriegsmarine was a topic on a Russian shipmodel forum some time ago
My source is "Dutch Warships of WW2" by Henk van Willigenburg (Emmen, 2010)
here's the part about the mtb's
