About the US Navy Elco 80' Motor Patrol Torpedo Boat Late Type:

US Navy Elco 80' Motor Patrol Torpedo Boat Late Type is a continuation of Elco's PT-103 design with improved firepower. Length remained at 80ft (24.2M), beam 20ft 8in. (7M), and displacement of 56 tons. Her 3 sets of 1,350 horsepower Packard 4M-2500 V12 gasoline engines enable a top speed of 43 knots. The up gun late-type was a direct response to increased activities of Japanese armed landing craft and transport in the Pacific islands. Early torpedo launch tubes were replaced by lighter roll-off type Mk 13 Torpedoes. Additional firepower consists an array of 20mm Mk4, 37mm T9 automatic cannon, 40mm Bofers, Mk50 5in. 8 tubes rocket launcher, and whatever the crew can get their hands on.
