Contents
Description
The CRDA 60t (2a), MS-53 is a rank II Italian motor torpedo boat with a battle rating of 1.7 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Starfighters".
General info
Survivability and armour
Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.
Mobility
Write about the ship's mobility. Evaluate its power and manoeuvrability, rudder rerouting speed, stopping speed at full tilt, with its maximum forward and reverse speed.

Armament
Primary armament
Provide information about the characteristics of the primary armament. Evaluate their efficacy in battle based on their reload speed, ballistics and the capacity of their shells. Add a link to the main article about the weapon: {{main|Weapon name (calibre)}}. Broadly describe the ammunition available for the primary armament, and provide recommendations on how to use it and which ammunition to choose.
Additional armament
Describe the available additional armaments of the ship: depth charges, mines, torpedoes. Talk about their positions, available ammunition and launch features such as dead zones of torpedoes. If there is no additional armament, remove this section.
Usage in battles
To use this boat and similar Italian boats, it is recommended to engage targets head-on with the bow gun as it will be easier to aim than if you expose your side to use both guns, all while reducing your exposure to incoming fire.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Can carry 4 torpedoes with various degrees of spread.
- Adequate speed when spaded.
- Good reload speed for the main guns
Cons:
- Lacks armament (only 2 x 20 mm cannons)
History

Compared to the first series (which includes the MS-15), the bow is raised, the torpedo tubes were redesigned to have hatches, and an extra pair of MAS-type torpedo launchers at the rear are added.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
