[StartQuote] Al, Thanks for the clarification, I recall having read the note on reclassification of these boats, just copuld not remember where. Freidman is a good source but there are a few inaccuracies in the book. For example one photograph has a caption stating that it shows a 75 mm recoiless rifle on a boat. I, for the life of me, do not see a 75 mm in the photograph. Having read all of the Freidman books in this series, The Small Combatants book appear to be the least thorough of the series. In other words, I do not think there is primary source information to backup the note in the book. Until someone digs up a source document from NARA, I do not think there is any proof of the use of PTs in the Pacific to support covert OSS operations. Bill Bill Smallshaw[EndQuote]
