All;
I zoomed the McNally 009 photo in photobucket x 200 first, then x400, and this photo is not the same boat at a later date, it appears to PT 169 RON 10 1944-45, taken from another boat.
you guys take a look and see if you agree.
Take care,
TED
P.S. if you guys agree, then the first Elco probably IS a RON 18, RON 25 or RON 27 boat, since these RON's operated on joint patrols together with RON 10, at Morotai and Balikpapan.

It would be interesting to find out which Ron's the men in the 11th ( 2-43 ) class were ordered to. As Charlie stated for John McNally, it was Ron 17. Ted Meredith, who is front row, fifth from the left, says that eight classmates went to Ron 21 ( Joe Burk is one of them, 4th from R, front row ).
Gene Foncannon is third row, tenth from the left. The only on Ron 15 man that I know in the photo is John Steinson, back row, sixth from the right.

Ted Meredith went to Ron 7, and eventually took over the 129 boat.

Hi Everyone!
Thank you for all the responses. I have a request in with the PT Boaters Organization in TN and I'm hoping to get the group and boat number , if this is possible,in the next few weeks. Your information has been invaluable and I'm certainly learning a lot. As soon as I learn anything new I will post it.

Keep in mind that these were the assignments that were initially proposed. Things could have changed on the way to their assignment. NOT PT indicates that they did not pass the course and are being assigned to the Fleet but not to PT service. The one that says RADAR was assigned to a radar course and then will be assigned to a Squadron after the course.

(Thanks for the assist, Dick)

Hi PT Boaters,

Alyce Guthrie from the PT Museum just provided some updated info to me regarding my Dad's assignment . It was PT boat 234 in the Ron 17 you mentioned.

Thank you again for everyone's efforts in helping me out.
