Watching this footage just on RUclips even is captivating. These certainly were monster boats with a huge amount of character. It must be the engineers dream to be on board running them close to maximum power. My Dad drove steam engines here in Australia then progressed to big diesel Loco's. I rode on them often with him. To this day I say those steam engines were "alive" with soul like a living breathing powerful monster. Just like these PT boats. Thanks for sharing the video it's great !!
My dad did his service on one of these torpedo boats with the W18 gasoline powered Isotta Fraschini engines, killer boats! They where later rebuilt as patrol boats and housed two large 1500hp turbo diesel engines, I did my service on one of those.
I was coming out of Cape MayNJ just after lunch one day in my late teens, my brothers and I found ourselves behind an old PT boat idling out of the bay. early lesson don’t pass an idling PT boat your in danger of burying your boats nose in the second wave🤣
Does it still have the armor plating it originally came with? I know the weapons are demilled so they can't be used again but what about the armor? If it does and it still goes that fast that's amazing.
I think they are Isotta Fraschini W18 engines at around 1600 hp each, and the boat has three of them. The big one with the missile launchers has three gas turbines (originally Rolls-Royce Proteus) at around 4500 hp each.
R142 Ystad, a Norrköping class missile boat. It was originally built as a torpedo boat, but was converted into a missile boat in the '80s. It's powered by three gas turbines at around 4500 hp each. All of these ships are decommissioned from active duty but are maintained in operating condition by a group of enthusiasts. R142 Ystad and its sister ship (sort of) T121 Spica offer multiple daytrips each year to the public. I can fully recommend going on one of those trips, which I've done five times so far. It's fairly expensive, at around 1500-2000 SEK per trip, but it's easily worth it.
What's even better is that they offer several daytrips per year in the Stockholm archipelago to the public. It's fairly expensive (around 1500-2000 SEK per trip), but someone has to pay for all the fuel it guzzles. 😀
But the packards wer petrol and consumed horrendous amounts of gasfor really only averagevreturns i heard maintenance was veryhighplus verynoisy watch Mckales navy lollisten to tinker their pt73 engineer lol...
It takes real commitment to one’s craft of being technically incompetent to blow your export process hard enough to trick RUclips. Nice work with this. You could film on a 1998 PalmPilot with dot matrix resolution and RUclips would be able to correct it for target screen sizes. I don’t even know how this was accomplished. Solid work. I assume this channel is busy editing Steven Spielberg’s next film but if you’re not too busy with that, maybe fix this sometime? The actual content of this video is so cool otherwise and I actually really appreciate that you uploaded no-frills footage and sound of this unique craft. I’m sorry for my mean words.

...Watching this, doesnt get old! Amazing lines and big diesels!
Great video! I hope these museum ships are still operating with all their dedicated volunteers. Love the videos
They still do:)
Great piece of history, thank you.
Helt klart filmen med den bästa klippningen och redigeringen i serien av filmer om T56 och veteran flottiljen. Bra jobbat, mera sånt! :-D
Underbar film!❤❤❤ När Sverige va ett land att vara stolt över!!!
That's a mighty fine boat you have there, intoxicating sound and speed makes you forget how much go juice those puppies are guzzling, lol.
The big one with the missile launchers and the gas turbine engines is even more thirsty.
PT boats were the coolest craft on the water. Rode on PT 728 some years ago on the Hudson River. Wild.
Wow!!!! You are playing my music----big engines!
My dad did his service on one of these torpedo boats with the W18 gasoline powered Isotta Fraschini engines, killer boats! They where later rebuilt as patrol boats and housed two large 1500hp turbo diesel engines, I did my service on one of those.
Screaming turbos! LOVE IT!!!!!
t56 looks an older design but with horsepower half as much again must be an absolute rocket ship.
Wow, that thing rolls so much coal! I love it.
My dad served in WW 2 on finnish motor torpedo boat. 2x Isotta Fraschini a 1150 hp, top speed 52 kn, They ate kerosine.
I got a ride on one in the 60 s love it cool boats 👍
Great boat and video thanks👏👍
I was coming out of Cape MayNJ just after lunch one day in my late teens, my brothers and I found ourselves behind an old PT boat idling out of the bay. early lesson don’t pass an idling PT boat your in danger of burying your boats nose in the second wave🤣
my father served on a fairmile B class powered by american Hall Scott Petrol engines, not as fast as mtb,s but served well in their tasks
George Peace
Nice video, good footage.
That boat is hauling ass!!
WOWWW !!! BADASS BOATS .............. !!!
It’s loud on the speakers! Imagine on board! 😮 roaring!
Awesome video!
Magnificent boats, what a power
Awesome 😊
Does it still have the armor plating it originally came with? I know the weapons are demilled so they can't be used again but what about the armor? If it does and it still goes that fast that's amazing.
when are they going to sea again ? You can sign me in :-)
Isotta & Fraschini Engines!
COOL ... !!!
Tweety Bird! 💛
Holy shit do they export those?
What make are the diesels ?
nice video which boat is faster
nice wake
What is the name and group of the song at the end of this video?
DJ Contacreast. Check out his channel here on youtube!
How about a horn blast when leaving the dock there, captain.
Is she wooden-hulled or steel?
Steel:)
!Wunderbar
Mind boggling costs to recommission these boats let alone run them off shore
My Dad was in Patton's 3rd Army 89th Division and they crossed the Rhine at night in amphibious ducks watercraft during WW2.
Cool
ITALIAN POWERED!
Beautyfull
Kick ass
what kinda power and what age of the engines?
40's - 50's my guess.
I think they are Isotta Fraschini W18 engines at around 1600 hp each, and the boat has three of them.
The big one with the missile launchers has three gas turbines (originally Rolls-Royce Proteus) at around 4500 hp each.
British boats of a similar vintage had the opposed piston Deltic engines. Google them. Absolutely, as awesome as these beauties.
The Engines Cylinders, are they: V or W configuration ?
W, so three banks of six cylinders, three engines in total, each of about 1650 hp.
EARGASM!!!
Watercooled in2nd video maybe water pumps where dry.
UNDERBART!!!!!
My father was on PT77
mmmmmm sounds nicceeeee

SMOKING HAZARD :-)))
wasn't this the same type of boat that pres. Kenady ran during ww2?
Same idea. Kennedys boat was built by higgens boat yard powered by 3 v12 packard engines. And made of plywood too
what boat is at 7:05
R142 Ystad, a Norrköping class missile boat. It was originally built as a torpedo boat, but was converted into a missile boat in the '80s. It's powered by three gas turbines at around 4500 hp each.

It is not in service and yes, that is a turbine powered boat. Its name is R142 Ystad. :)
What's even better is that they offer several daytrips per year in the Stockholm archipelago to the public. It's fairly expensive (around 1500-2000 SEK per trip), but someone has to pay for all the fuel it guzzles. 😀
McHales Navy
@captainmcduche updated the info!
actually American PT boats were powered by 3 5M2500 PACKARD V-12 engines, there are no such engine as a liberty v12,
But the packards wer petrol and consumed horrendous amounts of gasfor really only averagevreturns i heard maintenance was veryhighplus verynoisy watch Mckales navy lollisten to tinker their pt73 engineer lol...
Bass line to a song.,
Grymt .... :-)
Dont show Greta Thunberg this. 221 Gallons / hour ( 840 L ) at top speed , 50 knots.
Not as loud as a class 56 or a Valenta.
A Class 56 or Valenta are not very loud on the water.
@@Propellerschrauber Haha! Valentas were used in boats, actually. I've never seen any footage of one, though!
Running rich
only in sweden
Stealthy
Close, but not the Merlin Packards, they were supercharged, not turboed.

With stu fflike this how did they loose my apoligies toall those who suffered ple excuse me as i was born after it finished lost 3 uncles
OMG you're killing us with this incredibly ridiculous weenie music.
Any self respecting PT boat crew member would torpedo the deejay.
MIC IS JUST OVERWHELMED. VERY POOR QUALITY SOUND.
Bring your own mic then.
You can buy a trip on one of these like anyone else.
