Above Us the Waves
It was the Italians who pioneered the use of two-man human torpedoes or 'chariots', and their attacks on ships of the Royal Navy in Alexandria Harbour in 1941 caused Winston Churchill to write to the Chief of Staffs committee to enquire what was being done to emulate these daring attacks.

The result was the development of British 'chariots' which were regarded as stop-gaps until the X-Craft or midget submarines could be deployed.
