by Norman Polmar, Samuel Loring Morison
Conceived prior to World War I to accommodate the invention of the torpedo, PT, or patrol,
boats came into their own during World War II. There, they were not only used to great

book details the advent, development, construction, of PT boats and their use by the U.S.

complements the story through the PT boat's retirement by the U.S. Navy as a result of
advances in missile technology. Amazon.com
