Yikes!

I think you can remove the treaty compliant bits of the report now, seeing as not only has Russia been out ofthe treaty for some time but now the CT is surely dead.

Are there any specs available for those 12 ton MTBs?

Well, you get 33 free from factories, leaving 67 to build. I'm guessing that a bunch of slips were actually used for those MTBs lined end-end? At 20+10m separation, thats 2 per Type 0, or 4 per type 1. You've got a host of spare slips too... yikes.

Fairly cheap too. I think I'll stick to the MAS 1000s for now, but might want to churn out a bunch of ANT-8s later.

From the Russian Encyclopedia:
ANT-8, 1936
Length - 20.0m
beam - 3.5m
Draft - 1.0m
Displacement - 12 tons
Engine - 1500hp
Armament - 1x 23mm cannon, 1x 12.7mm MG, 1x 45cm torpedo, or 2 mines
Top Speed - 55kts
range - 500nm @ 30kts
crew - 3

Its 2/factory without slips.

so I only need slips for 34 of 'em.

I'm almost tempted to licence build those little suckers. I've got plenty of 60 ton vessels but the ANT-8's would be good for the Caribbean and the sea of Marmara.

They're very small and of limited usefulness as MTBs unless in extremely confined waters. Once you have waves, the top speed plummets. I think more crew are probably needed. Commander, Driver, Engineer, Gunner, Gunner

Good point on the crew, though adding two new crew members on a 12 ton hull means more cramping for large Russian sailors!

What they're for is...

defense of naval bases, in conjunction with coastal subs, coast artillery, and land-based naval aviation. For the reasons RA mentions, they're little threat to forces on the open ocean, but they would be trouble for a force seeking to land troops near a Russian naval base.

That's right, under 25t each. I would think you had the slip space anyhow. However the ability to make 30/quarter would makes them more attractive for DEI. Primarily for near harbor and beach patrols, but lots on inter-island possibilities. Right now the MAS simply have better strike range and better capacity for inter-island travel

I wouldn't think so.
In a Humvee on the move, three men fulfill the roles of:
Commander
Communications
Navigation
Gunner
Assistant Gunner
Mechanic
Driver

In this boat, ideally, the Commander would handle communication and navigation, the Helmsman would handle the boat, and the Gunner would twiddle his thumbs because gunners don't have crap to do in ideal situations.

During battle, the Commander could double as a gunner for the 12.7mm and still manage his job as commander. The Gunner/Torpedoman would be responsible for the 23mm during an air attack and torpedoes during an attack on a ship. He and the commander would work together during mine laying duties, and take their gun/torpedo stations as necessary due to unforeseen circumstances. Finally, the Helmsman would handle navigation (map taped to the side of the pilothouse, anyone) and communications during emergency/battle situations... it's really easy to tie a mike up near your mouth, I've done it many times.
