The Jymy-class motor torpedo boats (English: Rumble) or J class was an Italian-designed class of motor torpedo boats, seeing service during World War II with the Italian Navy in Lake Ladoga, and later with the Finnish Navy in the Gulf of Finland.
The four boats of the J class were built by in Genoa, Italy and transported to Finland over land and sea. The ships were initially used by an Italian contingent, the XII Squadriglia MAS, who served in Lake Ladoga during the sailing season of 1942. The Finns purchased the boats on 5 May 1943 in Tallinn and transported them to Finland.
The ships were converted into patrol boats in 1949, in accordance with the Paris peace treaty. The J-class vessels were scrapped in 1961.
