[StartQuote] I believe that everyone will be loyal to the boat upon which they served. My Elco 80' was well worn when I came aboard. The needed engine replacements were made six or seven months later. Nevertheless the old boat did what was necessary. When at cruising speed it was nimble enough to "bend" around floating logs when we spotted one almost too near to miss. The engines were replaced at Mios Woendi. That greatly increased her top speed. After I was relieved, the boat went on to the Philippines and served well there. It was among the many that were burned after the war ended. As reported in At Close Quarters, many of the boats had structural damage before the end of the war, but they were still performing their job.[EndQuote]
