[StartQuote] Frank; Didn't I tell you? Don't you know cats are the arch nemisis of PT Boats? Cats have done more damage to PT Boats than the Japanese ever did!!! While I was stationed in Panama(1994-1998), I left alot of my dioramas at my Mothers Home. I lost my whole 1/72 Tulagi base due to my mothers cat throwing up all over it, The base was 75% complete, and just like "Washing Machine Charlie" the cat came down over the Hills behind the base(AKA: the window sill) swooped in and destroyed the engine shop, swiped the crane off the dock, and threw up on PT 60 which was still in the floating drydock undergoing hull repairs, PT 110 which was at the dock having her centerline engine pulled, and PT 111 which was moored nearby. Only PT 59 was spared, as she was in the slip for the marine railway. Since my Mom was the only repair and recovery crew present, the whole diorama got the heave-ho!!! Only PT 59 survives today. I believe Wayne Traxals PT squadron was also hit by cats, I remember him telling me his 1/24th PT 77 was hit. Good Luck with the rebuild!! Take care, TED [EndQuote]
