[StartQuote] Frank; I have a drawing I will send you via e-mail. The boat only had 20mm stern, and twin .50's . During this time period they bummed some MK 15 torpedoes, from a Destoryer. That is why they protrude from the tubes so far. As far as I know, no "extra" armament was added to 61prior to her becoming a gunboat. If you want to go for the time period in the photo, you will notice the broken windshield, and to the right is what looks like a gash in the plexiglass. Ken told me one night he was out on night patrol off the Russells with Bill Kriener, Kriener was lead boat(PT 60, I believe), a Rufe flew up their wake and dropped a bomb between the two boats. Kriener was wounded in this engagement, and that broken windshield, and another fragment gashing the windshield is the result, also look at the cabin windshield, it has what looks like that waterproof putty, our Dads used to used on our house windows in the 50's and 60's.....do you remember that stuff? Funny thing, Ken told me that plane was so low, he could see all the rivets and screws underneath! Take care, TED [EndQuote]
