My dad was skipper of PT-252. Found her call sign (NFOV) but wondered if the crew ever gave her a nickname?

Skip,
Webmaster Dick Washichel placed a link to Will Day's excellent list of PT boat names on this website. You should go there and view the names all the boats had. Go to the PT Boats Inc homepage, then click on the "PT/Other Links" and you will see his website. http://www.pt-boat-list.gdinc.com/ Jerry
