The Sisu class motor torpedo boats (Template:Lang-en) was a series of two Italian M.A.S. type motor torpedo boats of the Finnish Navy. The vessels were constructed in 1917 by the Orlando shipyard in Livorno, Italy. Sisu and Hurja were purchased by the Finns in 1922, and saw service in World War II.

When dashing forward at full speed, the vessels sprayed water high in the air, earning the nickname "the fountains" from Finnish sailors.

Vessels of the class

Sisu
Ex-MTV 1 in Finnish service, and ex-MAS 220 in Italian service. She was used as a torpedo boat until 1942, and then transferred to Lake Ladoga, where she served as a patrol vessel. Sisu was broken up after the war.
Hurja
Ex-MTV 2 in Finnish service, and ex-MAS 221 in Italian service. She was used as a torpedo boat until 1941. Hurja was broken up after the war.
