I think the name of that PT boat was Boston bastard, my hometown 🇺🇸

This film was made before the History channel became the "Hitler channel".

What does the angry lady at the end say?

As I understand it, MacArthur's obsession with returning to P.I. extended the war by as much as a year. His ego got in the way of an efficient island hopping campaign as envisioned by Nimitz. There wouldn't've been a return if MacArthur wasn't a personal friend of FDR. A really outstanding documentary on the PT Navy. As mentioned elsewhere, it's too bad that the real History Channel, along with the A&E network, went kerflooey with the reality craze. I've got all of the Horatio Hornblower movies produced by A&E. What a shame they never finished it.

Back when the History Channel actually showed history.

John Paul Jones is a horrible example for the Navy. He was insubordinate, insolent, rude and obnoxious. But he wanted to stick a thumb in the English eye and accomplished it pretty good.

Majority of the PT Boats sunk by natural means, if only they built a PT Boat carrier and surprise the IJN.

It’s a secret military base yet you’re telling us about it on the documentary that tells me this is kind of stupid

Who remembers when the History Channel was dubbed the Hitler Channel 😅. I love WW2 documentaries. Military Channel was good

It's like getting knocked out in a fight but bragging about the one punch you landed 😆

The greatest generation..

No wonder sea levels are rising when these subs are out and about🤔

19:27. A sophisticated sub with a diving angle indicator looking like a butcher's weighing scale?!!!!!!!!!

Russia builds the biggest subs and missiles but is still incapable of miniaturizing electronics!

Rep Jorden needs to get out go away go to hell because Margie another worthless

And now Americans questioning / exposing our govt are having to find asylum in Russia. Hard to watch this movie and realize how far we've fallen.

This guy's love of dug out Douglas . Is kinda scary. This guy makes it look like Doug was in charge of the navy and not king or Nimitz

This is a rather remarkable documentary. Thank you so, so much for sharing it. 2:04 really gives the _Акула_ a sense of scale. Jesus, this thing was a monster.

My dad was the skipper of a PT in the Mediterranean. He saw the Savannah get hit by a radar-controlled bomb and his crew later fought German flak convoys in the Ligurian Sea.

Truth is the plot was stolen from Mr Joseph from San Francisco. Read his book which came out first then you will know the truth.

So the Japs claimed they sank 14 out of 6 used, that's amazing.

So the US used another British design for PT (MTB)

Love from India to our Russian friends and Russian Navy 👍

I really wanted to enjoy this video, but that f'in annoying music made me throw in the towel in the first 5 mins.

Dows anyone know the music at 42:00?

JFK and PT109 still hold the record for being the only PTBoat to be rammed and sunk by a Japanese destroyer in the entire Pacific campaign of World War 2.

Could the music be any worse? Really, these films could stand some upgrades.

"like" if u miss the REAL History Channel.

Mis the tvv show vocals nave😅

Make the History Channel Great Again, MHCGA

I know men was here on the Philippines,, one person there 2 time.I love to watch movies like this. John E. May and my dad was here to and my step-dad was too. 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖

Fantastic Documentary, I Love History of all the Ages 😊

the motor in?

I bet the Japs retreated when they saw MacArthur coming ashore with that huge corn cob pipe . Imaging him hitting the enemy on the head with that 😁😜

unusual russia would gove command of a nuclear sub to someone with no family at home.

Shame about all the ridiculous bloody music

“Unnoticed” 😂

The writers really need to get some perspective on how shithouse and how overrated general macathur really was...

🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸♥️♥️♥️💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

The History Channel is history. Thanks for the memories.

We had a PT Boat on Kwajalein in the 60's. It was a fast and able boat for ocean side and often used for fishing. Smaller boats from ski to cabin stayed in the lagoon.

at the war's end many PT Boats were simply burned where they were at when it was over, once saw a film of many being set afire and destroyed

I believe am the only American to set foot on TK 202 typhoon. It was never scraped it sits in the Kola Peninsula

Dopey

Did American PT boats every sink any Axis warships or merchant vessels, not barges?

They transported macarthur And family from philipines But didnt return him as doug Wanted more publicity with A fleet! I shall return the famous quote Needed more airplay!

Those were foundly known as the "Brown Water Navy"

fukking propaganda garbage....mac the underage rapist left Wainwright out to dry.

During the dark early days of WWII, the US Navy lionized its PT boat squadron in several propoganda films and newsreel shorts. After the war, Joseph P. Kennedy sought to advance his son JFK's political prospects by hiring a public relations team to glorify JFK's purportedly heroic service as a PT boat commander. However, it was all bunk. PT boats were too frail to slug it out with Japanese warships, too lightly armed to inflict much damage, and too unseaworthy to venture out into the open ocean, all of which the Navy acknowledged after the war. Further, Kennedy was lucky not to have been cashiered for incompetence in the incident that saw his boat go down, and many people thought he would have faced a court martial but for his father's political influence. I was hoping this video would supply an honest and well-informed look at the history of the PT boats, buut was sorely disappointed. My advice to others is to save your time and not bother with it.

narrator was just a little theatrical?
