Ted,
I'm aware that some of the 80' Elcos had their rear cockpit armor removed, for the reasons you mentioned as well as a weight-saving measure (one of many).
My point was that many of the boats retained the rear cockpit armor -- didn't have it removed -- and you can see examples of this in photos of all 80' Elcos throughout the war, from Guadalcanal back to the Philippines.

With all the talks about armor plates on PT boat, can anyone verify that
they were 1/4 " thick

C.J.,
Would you mind contacting me by email? I have something I want to send you regarding that photo of your boat getting a new engine, photo 80 G 58532, posted above. Contact me at Gerald_Powell@baylor.edu
Thanks.
