[StartQuote] Below are several photos of PT 174. The captions suggest these are offical US Navy photos taken in January of 1944. These photos show the 40mm on the foredeck. Also, note the covers on the 50 caliber guns. It looks like they are leftover from when the 174 was zebra striped. She had apparently recently been painted green when these photos were taken.

The following YouTube video contains a short film clip of what appears to me to be the same boat. Is this actual movie footage of PT 174? It would have been taken from the other boat shown in the foreground of the third photo. If so, where can one find the entire film? The relevant clip is found at about the 1:34 mark in this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aewVphp5WV8&NR=1 G R Powell[EndQuote]
