My personal favorites are the flawed but technically very interesting Steam Gun Boats (SGB) built for the Rn in WWII. The biggest issue was they were virtually small destroyers and needed to be build by yards experienced with destroyers and similar, drastically reducing the numbers that could be built compared to the wooden hulled motor boats.
