Franks the man.

BTW we have an authentic WW11 Pt Boat here in Clear Lake called the "Oh Frankie"
He was aboard her during the war. I think he was just on tour... not sure.
It's a Hunkins and still has her original Libery engines.

They're cool boats. Sometime last century, I delivered a dredging
barge to the Navy, in Annapolis. There were a bunch of old PT boats
sitting at an old dock. When I asked about them, they said they were
just sitting there rotting away.

Yeah that sucks. The Oh Frankie was converted into a commerical fishing boat.

At the end of WWII 100's were tied together in the Philipines and torched.
Seems that was cheaper than bringing them home and selling them surplus.

They burn easy since they were made of plywood.
