[StartQuote] Great photos Frank! Thanks for sharing them with us! I know there is a group over in next door Sweden that still operates some more modern Torpedo Boats T26,T56 etc and they have several videos on YouTube with those big engines running full speed. Link to one of his videos [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_hWVKepoLU[/url] The name of the YouTube channel is "Teawby". Here are the specs on the oldest Torpedo Boat they run called T26: Class: Patrol/Torpedo Boat Launched: 1942At: Kockums Shipyard, Sweden Commissioned: 1943 Decommissioned: 1957 Length: 20 meters Beam: 5 meters Displacement: 27 tons Machinery: Isotta Fraschini, 1500 hp each, 18 cyl each, 57 liter Speed: 51.5 knots Crew: 11 Men Armament: 2 Torpedoes 57 cm; 20 mm machine gun I would recommend anyone interested in these small fast boats check it out. The T56 resembles one of the Nasty class boats from VN era. Jerry Gilmartin PT658 Crewman Portland OR[EndQuote]
