Surviving PT boats

Becareful rc if we were to rebuild them and then they would become a part of the national museum we may have to put them into storage not to raise up that they are racist boats.
 
PT boats are a great part of American Naval history. 440'
 
some cool shots
the music not so much :poke:
 
Very interesting. I didn’t know there were several variations.
 
I remember ol 73!

Grandad served on a few back in 41' and wanted a transfer to see the action......he ended up in the Coral Sea battle in 42....
 
I think JFK was the best example of a President in my lifetime.
 
Al Copeland had one for sunset champagne cruises with his lady friend on the parachute couch! that's a story from my previous life!

I had to use another sea shanty just to get rid of the ohwrum.
Now, I'm stuck.



General info department.
That restored PT Boat at the WW2 museum in New Orleans sells rides on Lake Pontchartrain.
I bought my father a brick there.
He commanded 3 mine sweepers and once commented on the PT boats to about their speed and power.
What we remember about those that have left.

Hopefully he was cruising slowly. At full speed, they'd suck back 500 gallons of gasoline per hour. :)
