On this page, you'll find a (hopefully, often) updated list of other things I have found around the internet about PT Boats. They could be YouTube videos, books, guides and historical content.

Question:
I happened to be watching the old movie PT-109 the other day and the
Australian coast watcher in the movie stated in his radio transmissions the
words "Peter Tare." I always thought this was his name, but someone
told me that "Peter" and "Tare" were part of the old
phonetic alphabet. Do you know?
Answer: In researching the answer to this question, we found there are
dozens of phonetic alphabets used by many different groups. The words
"Peter" and "Tare" were part of the pre-1954 Navy radio
alphabet. Here is that complete alphabet: Able, Baker, Charlie, Dog, Easy, Fox,
George, How, Item, Jig, King, Love, Mike, Nan, Oboe, Peter, Queen, Roger, Sugar,
Tare, Uncle, Victor, William, X-ray, Yoke, Zebra.

A panoramic view of the 20 or so contestants and yachts at Lillydale Lake (Victoria, Australia) June 18th 2005, I had taken the new Hull-2 for it's first real swim and these guy's were going to be racing for another few hours, doh, so I went to a smaller pond nearby.
