[StartQuote] Gerry; The complete list of 80' ELCO hull numbers is in ALLIED COASTAL FORCES VOL II by John Lambert and Al Ross II. For example : PT 486 as you stated was ELCO Hull Number 3533. PT 557 is/was ELCO Hull Number 3326. PT 557 keel was laid on 3 JUL 43, launched on 18 SEP 43 and was placed in service with RON 29 on 30 OCT 43. PT 486 keel was laid 27 JUL 43, launched on 16 OCT 43 and was placed in service with RON 4 on 2 DEC 43. So as you can see the hull numbers were not always in sequential order with the USN PT hull number. It really gets crazy from 731-760 because all their ELCO hull numbers are before the 565 series. Example: PT 760 is 3622 and PT 565 is 3623 Take care, TED [EndQuote]
