Good morning shipmates,I'm doing research on a project related to PT Boats operations in the South Pacific and am trying to track down a crew roster of all RON 3 and then where everyone went at the fall of the Philippines.

I have a very solid understanding of the officers but would like to understand the enlisted perspective and any interesting vignettes.

Mike,

Dr. Al Ross's (a PT researcher, author, and frequent visitor/poster on this website) father was, I believe, a senior enlisted man in Ron 3 in the Philippines at the beginning of the war, and may be able to help you.

Welcome aboard! I think this will be of interest to you, All is accurate except info on LT Edward Grover DeLong we now know his final disposition. He was executed on 2 July 1942.
