-The MAS 561 was a torpedo motor torpedo boat ('''M'''otoscafo '''A'''rmato '''S'''ilurante) of the MAS 500 class whose purpose was to attack enemy ships, and anti-submarine and escort operations. Built in 1941 with the others of the 3rd Series, the MAS 561 in particular was captured during the 1943 armistice of Italy by the Italians of the RSI (Italian Socialist Republic) i.e. the allies of Germany before the end of the war, and modified to add two [[Breda-SAFAT (12.7 mm)]] single mount machine guns, to increase its effectiveness against enemy Allied boats and to be used as anti-aircraft against enemy aircraft. Eventually, it was taken by the Germans and sank with its entire crew on 23 April 1945.

-Introduced in [[Update "Raining Fire"]], the MAS 561 replaced the old reserve boat ([[MAS 555]]). It is the first Italian coastal ship you will play, and thanks to its speed you will be able to approach enemy ships quickly and launch torpedoes or depth charges causing serious damage to the enemy ship or its direct destruction, while the armament composed of two 12.7 mm and one 20 mm gives you good firepower against coastal boats. However, it is very fragile to enemy hits having little armour and little crew.

-The MAS 561 is equipped with two types of additional armament. The first one is the W.200 torpedo, a torpedo that can navigate up to 81 km/h for 3 km. With the torpedo mode modification, the torpedo will lose 7 km/h but in compensation it gains 1,000 metres of range. These torpedoes are excellent for quick attacks on larger ships. With their good speed and 200 kg of explosive, it will be child's play to sink a ship.

 The second additional armament of the MAS 561 is the B TG depth charge, two of these charges can be equipped and being positioned in the back of the ship will be easier to use. The B TGs with their 60 kg of explosive each are very effective to destroy ships that get a little too close, you can also flank the big ships and throw them at them.
