In World War II, the PT (Patrol Torpedo) Boat was a fast, maneuverable, and inexpensive attack craft that made a strong contribution to winning the war in the Pacific. The PT-109 was commanded by the United States’ 35th President, John F. Kennedy, Lt. (jg) USNR, and survived being cut in half by a Japanese destroyer. On that frightful night, Lt. Kennedy was able to save his entire crew, even to the extent of helping one who couldn’t swim.
