PT Boat Veteran Video interview
http://www.ptboatforum.com/cgi-bin/MB2/netboardr.cgi?cid=101&fid=102&tid=5353
I found this on Gary Sinise Veteran Interview website "American Veterans Center" of Gunners Mate on a late war Elco PT Boat. His name is GM2/c Charles Brooking He says his boat had 5 inch rocket launchers on it so it must have been a late war boat in the Pacific. Here is the link to watch the video. They don't ever mention his actual PT Boat number or RON number so maybe somebody here could help us out. Thanks Jerry
