[StartQuote] David; PT 109 (ENS. Bryant Larson CO) along with PT 110_PT 114, was transferred to RON 2 on 22 Sept 1942, almost as soon as they reached Panama. According to Gene's website and his extensive history of the Guadalcanal Squadrons, The second section of RON 2 was PT 43 (Ens. James J. Cross), PT 59 (Ens. David M. Levy) PT 109 (Bryant Larson) and PT 110 (Lt. Charles E. Tilden). The first division's boats were hoisted aboard Liberty ship SS Robin Wently The two cargo ships departed for the Solomons on October 14, therefore, PT 109, and the other boats, did not have the armor removed like RON 5 boats, since it was mentioned Dick Keresy stated this was removed, with the idea the boat would get on plane faster, this was probably as a result of RON 5's training sojourn from Toboga Island to the Galapagos Islands in November 1942. Take care, TED [EndQuote]
