[StartQuote] Steve; Hi! I have not seen a photo, but it is also mentioned in US Small Combatants by Norman Friedman pg 170. "In Spring 1944, PT 334 was experimentally fitted on her stern with an aircraft type (M4) 75mm gun, the same mounted in B-25's (H model). This semiautomatic weapon weighted two-thirds as much as a 40mm gun. It appears not to have been successful. OPNAV rejected it, using BUSHIPS argument that it reprsente an excessive deck reaction load. (recoil damage) It remained attractive, , however, in early 1945, it was rejected again, because it could not be developed before the end of the war".(Friedman). Take care, TED [EndQuote]
