Vedetta anti sommergibile (anti-submarine picket boat), commonly abbreviated as VAS and also known in Italy as VAS Baglietto (from the name of the shipyard that designed VAS and built a number of them), was a class of motor torpedo boats that served as coastal anti-submarine patrol boats in the Regia Marina (Italian Royal Navy) during World War II. Several boats that survived the war later served in the post-war Italian Navy.

| - La vedetta anti sommergibile, nota con l'acronimo VAS o VAS Baglietto (dal nome del cantiere che ne elaborò il progetto e costruì alcune), è una classe di unità da pattugliamento costiero antisommergibile impiegata dalla Regia Marina durante la seconda guerra mondiale. Alcune unità sopravvissute al conflitto, nel dopoguerra sono entrate a far parte della Marina Militare. Le unità erano classificate ufficialmente come "motovedette antisommergibile" e le prime 30 unità vennero ordinate dalla Regia Marina ai cantieri Baglietto il 3 settembre 1941, entrando in servizio tra marzo e novembre dell'anno successivo. Era un concetto ripreso dal conflitto mondiale precedente, praticato soprattutto dagli statunitensi con le , e che avevano il suo corrispondente europeo nelle S-boot tedesche. Le VAS erano infatti uno sviluppo di queste ultime, derivate dalle tedesche S-1 requisite alla Jugoslovenska kraljevska ratna mornarica, la marina militare del Regno di Jugoslavia, durante le prime fasi della seconda guerra mondiale.

- Vedetta anti sommergibile (anti-submarine picket boat), commonly abbreviated as VAS and also known in Italy as VAS Baglietto (from the name of the shipyard that designed VAS and built a number of them), was a class of motor torpedo boats that served as coastal anti-submarine patrol boats in the Regia Marina (Italian Royal Navy) during World War II. Several boats that survived the war later served in the post-war Italian Navy. The boats were officially classified as "anti-submarine patrol boats" and the first 30 boats were ordered by the Regia Marina at the Baglietto shipyards on 3 September 1941, entering service between March and November 1942. The concept had first appeared in World War I and by the 1940s similar boats served with the US Navy where they were known as the PT boats, and they also had their European analogues in the German S-boots and the Royal Navy's Vosper and Fairmile MTBs. The VAS were in fact a roundabout development of the original S-boot, derived from the German-built Orjen-class torpedo boats of the Royal Yugoslav Navy captured by the Italians after the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia. For all that the VAS were derived from MTBs, they were ultimately far closer in performance and intended role to the British Fairmile B motor launch, being both far slower & more defensive in nature than true MTBs.
