During the Second World War the U.S. Navy deployed a large amount of three types of motor torpedo boats: the Higgins measuring 78 feet and ELCO measuring 77 and 80 feet. The 80 foot ELCOs represented the most numerous class: they were realised in five series, for a total of about 300 examples.  The equipment and weapons were constantly updated and taking on the role of gunships and operating in the proximity of the coast or in channels. The Italeri model reproduces the PT 596 and an 80-foot ELCO from the last batch produced.
