Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
Extremely cool. Maybe remake McHale’s Navy.
I woullove to be a part of the rebuild. History at its best. Thanks for sharing.

It was pretty neat when they had it at the marina next to mine. Took the golf cart over and checked it out. It was cool watching them take it out for rides too.
I've probably posted this before, but Elco made a film about how they built them. It's in three parts:

Love the last one where they run them up into the sound and test the guns.
Perhaps not the only operational PT boat from WW2. Well maybe.....this one is currently undergoing maintenance.
Some friends participated in the reconstruction and she is spectacular.
