I'm somewhat surprised that anything survived...~50 years [2002] on the bottom, plywood boat, cut in half, mostly metal fittings, nothing very large except the two 12 cyl Allisons, salt water corrosian... :rolleyes: Just perusing the specs here; the 103-class PT's had three Packard V-12's and were the biggest PT's; 56 tons!!! :eek: Quote:

Not too much salt water corrosion at 1200ft - lack of oxygen.
I remember years ago when Kennedy was either President or campaigning to be President A comedian said of JFK's war record "How do you get a 70mph PT Boat run over by a 40mph Destroyer? |
