A PT boat (short for Patrol Torpedo boat) was a torpedo-armed fast attack craft used by the United States Navy in World War II. It was small, fast, and inexpensive to build, valued for its maneuverability and speed but hampered at the beginning of the war by ineffective torpedoes, limited armament, and comparatively fragile construction that limited some of the variants to coastal waters. 🚤 During World War II, PT boats engaged enemy warships, transports, tankers, barges, and sampans.

US Navy PT boats had a mixed but often successful record in World War II, excelling at specific roles like disrupting enemy supply lines, supporting amphibious operations, and conducting night attacks.
