The Only Surviving, Functional WWII Era PT Boat

Atomic Cow:

PT Boat 658

DCPatriot:
That was cool.  What a project!

Didn't realize PT boats were wooden. 

Oceander:
Awesome!

truth_seeker:
I wonder if America could do, what we did in WWII?

Our population was 133 million; during the four war years 16 million served in uniform, all around the globe.

My mother and grandfather worked building planes.  My Dad served in the Marine Corps and was wounded on Okinawa.

The PT boats used Packard engines.  No wonder my folks liked (and owned two) Packards.

I think so, but only if we have another Great Depression, too (of course, on that count, we may very well get that as well).
