Higgins PT in Argentine Navy

I don't know the exact date of these photos, probably late 50's -early 60's but they a great views, too bad they are not larger. It is an 800 series Higgins, one of the 10 we transferred to them. Enjoy!
Take care,
TED

Hi Ted and Jeff and Gustavo,
I am not sure if you have seen these before, but I think these are the Argentine Higgins boats when they were commissioned into the Argentine Navy. I think maybe Gustavo sent these to me before. Jerry PT658 Portland OR
