Below is a much-seen photo of four PT's moored at the Morobe River in New Guinea in July 1943. If you look close, the second boat in line (from the left) appears to sport a different mast than what is normally associated with Elco 80-footers...

...and here is a close-up view. Wether or not this is the same boat as in the photo above is unknown, but note the A-frame supports, and the sweeper antenna at top. After closely examining the original of this photo, I think this may be Ron Seven's PT 137.
