From Bruce Healds own books.

Looking at NavSource..PT-719:

http://www.navsource.org/archives/12/05719.htm

Bruce Heald quotes the Uncle Sam II (PT-719) as being 80 tons, presumably without the big Packards, and no weapons.

Just info that I have uncovered. You decide.

The REAL PT-719 is 39 tons'. ..and only 70 feet.

A Fully Loaded & Armed ELCO 80 foot PT-Boat (The last and most sucessful version) is listed as 56 tons.

CRITICS:........ What say you...?

NB
