[StartQuote] Frank; Why not PT 108 for Earl? Even though, the photo I sent him(the photo I sent to Earl, Gene Foncannon was CO at the time of the photo, which shows 108 with tubes and SO-A Radar) he told me this was before his time on her. If you want to build it out of the box then you would be dealing with the Sid Hix/ Little Duck time frame, sometime prior to 22 August 1943. If you want to use 108, then you might want to use Silversides. Growler was damaged in May 1943, BIG Question: what model Gato do you have? Does it have a 20mm forward of conning tower and 40mm aft? If it does, then Growler is your boat, I don't think Silversides tower was converted to this until later. She went for a refit on 16 July at Brisbane, made her 6th and 7th war patrol, then put into Pearl on 8 November 1943 for another refit. I can't find out when or where the conning tower modifications were made. more to come,please e-mail when you home e-mail is up. TED [EndQuote]
