Mosquito Fleet

a term covering all fast-moving and maneuverable small warships, such as torpedo and patrol cutters. The term appeared during World War I (1914–18) when combat cutters were used for simultaneous operations in large groups, for instance, for sudden attacks on enemy ships, for laying small minefields, and for transporting and debarking landing parties.
