Title: Elco 10
Description: (American Motor Boat, 1917) Photographed in 1917, probably when first completed. Built for the Italian Government as an anti-submarine motor launch (motoscafi antisommergibili, or MAS) by the Elco Company of Bayonne, New Jersey, this boat was taken over by the U.S. Navy (with no SP number assigned) in April 1917 but was delivered to the Italians in December of that year. She entered Italian Navy service on 17 June 1918 as either MAS-77 or MAS-78. She is flying a U.S. Navy Jack and Ensign in this photograph, and appears to have U.S. Navy and Italian Navy personnel on deck. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph.
