PT boat

The Oxford Essential Dictionary of the U.S. Military | 2001 | Â© The Oxford Essential Dictionary of the U.S. Military 2001, originally published by Oxford University Press 2001. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

PT boat n.a motor torpedo boat (MTB), usually built by one of three ship-builders (Elco, Higgins, or Huckins) between 1942 and 1945, designed originally as antiship weapons and equipped with powerful Packard gasoline engines. These fast, maneuverable boats had wooden hulls and were anywhere from 60 to 100 ft (18 to 30 m) in length. During World War II, PT (patrol torpedo) boats operated all over the Pacific, in the Mediterranean, and in the English Channel, and were used primarily to attack surface ships, but they also laid mines, created smoke screens, rescued downed aviators, and performed intelligence or raider missions as well. Also called mosquito boats.
1940s: from P(atrol) T(orpedo) boat.
