I have a lot of pictures of the 361, including their monkey mascot, as well as other RON 27 boats, particularly the 359 and 360. I'll see if I have anything on the 373.
For the MacArthur "return" to Corregidor on PT boats, he actually did it four times. First on the 373 plus once on the 375 and twice on the 361, although I don't know what order the last three were in. I have some newspaper and magazine clippings on those trips which would be more appropriate for a separate thread. I do remember my Dad saying that RON 27 was selected for the photo-op return missions in recognition of some unit award that they were awarded.

Randy, I'm hoping you're still active on this forum.
My grandfather served on PT-361. I'm doing some research on his military history and would love to see any pictures or other information you have on PT-361.

Pete;
You are correct, the curved .50 cal boxes are the same. n addition to Randy, I suggest you use Jeff Davidson's www,pt103.com for your reference. many of his stuff carries to the late 300 series ELCO's.
Take care,
TED

Jerry,
If you could provide your grandfather's name I'll see if I have anything on him in my PT361 pictures and notes.
