[StartQuote] Garth & Ted: I spoke with Mr. Jerry Foley this afternnon, who was a crew member on PT 556. Although his memory is not what it once was, he remembers the Crew leaving the boat in 1945. Now here is where it gets a bit sketchy. He thinks the boat was somewhere in North Africa at the time, and claims that the Thunderbolt sysytem was not removed from the boat when turned over to the Russians. Also, I remeber that the first Thunderbolt system was mounted on PT 138 with Ron 7, sometime in late 1942. This mount was actually washed away in heavy Seas before it could really be tested. Now, a few boats had the system in 1945, which I think was Ron 10 & Ron 21 while in the Philippines. Not sure which boats, but maybe I can check into it. I am not sure about any of the boats in Ron 12 having the Thunderbolt on them. [EndQuote]
