I'm pretty sure torpedo boats existed before WWII, in fact, IIRC, the destroyer class ship was created initially to counter small fast torpedo boats in WWI. Does someone have references? -- [[The_ansible|ansible]] |

I'm not sure if this is worth preserving, but when I found it, the page originally contained:
- "Patrol Torpedo" boat - used by the United States Navy in the South Pacific in World War II. About 40 feet long, wood hull, inboard engine, two torpedo tubes on each gunwale pointed forward, two .50-cal machine guns (?), crew of four (?)
- United States President John F. Kennedy was the captain of a PT boat (PT 109) in World War II.
- FIX this needs lots of work.
If there was ever a PT boat that only had a crew of four, I can't find it -- I assume the original author was simply guessing. If I'm wrong, please correct me! --The Epopt
