The boat was put out of service and decommissioned on 1st November 1952.
 Introduced along with the initial Italian naval tree in [[Update "Starfighters"]], the VAS 201 is a very slow ship with a mediocre armament consisting of two single 20 mm Breda cannons, 16 depth charges which find little utility due to the poor speed of the vessel, and finally two torpedoes with good performance with fairly destructive capabilities even against destroyers.

 The VAS 201 added in the [[Update "Starfighters"|"Starfighters" update]] with the Italian Naval Tech tree, is a very slow ship with a mediocre armament consisting of two single 20mm Breda, 16 depth charges very useless because of your poor speed and finally two torpedoes with good performance with fairly destructive capabilities for destroyers and boats with enough survival, the best advice is to go out to surprise and shoot with both 20mm.

	The VAS 201 is equipped with two 20 mm/65 Breda autocannons, one at the bow and one at the stern. When facing forward, only one gun can shoot and in order to get the rear gun on target, a large part of the ship needs to be exposed. The autocannons themselves have quite a low rate of fire and very small clips of 12 shells, although they are reloaded very quickly. The damage is similar to the German or the American 20 mm autocannons, although it has a lower damage than the German one and lower fire rate compared to the American one		The VAS 201 is equipped with two 20 mm/65 Breda autocannons, one at the bow and one at the stern.

-The VAS 201 is a slow boat: its biggest disadvantages are its poor top speed, small magazines, and no protection whatsoever. Unfortunately, these disadvantages cover most of what can make a ship good, so the VAS is simply a below average ship, especially when compared to the [[MS-15]] (same firepower and survivability, almost twice the speed) and the [[S-38]] (pretty much better in everything but size). Overall, although it is not exactly the best you can have, it is still a solid boat for its battle grade, the best advice is not to attack frontally or end up surrounded by the enemy but to go around them and shoot them from the side, you will immediately notice the little damage it causes so it is recommended using 2 belts, one AP for tough targets and armored and the other HE for targets little armored. Most of the time the torpedoes are going to be useless.

 Eventually 14 ships survived, left to the Italian Navy largely employed for dredging activities, during which in 1947 was lost VAS-246.
