The TORPEDO BOAT PT-109 patrol entered service in 1942 in the Pacific. On August 2, 1943, the Japanese destroyer Amagiri rammed the PT-109, causing the patrol boat to sink. In a crisis, the unit commander and the future president of the United States, John F. Kennedy, managed to save the entire crew. The actions taken made him a war hero! The patrol boat was manned by a crew of 12-17 people. The last mission was attended by 13 crew members headed by Captain Kennedy. The PT-109 was powered by three 1500hp (1100kW) Packard 12-cylinder gasoline engines. The speed of the boat was approximately 41 knots (76 km / h). The PT-109 had a single 20mm Oerlikon anti-aircraft gun at the rear. On the eve of their last mission, the crew installed a 37mm anti-tank gun in the bow. The main offensive weapon of the boat was her torpedoes. PT-109 was equipped with four 21-inch (53 cm) torpedo tubes containing Mark 8 torpedoes. It was also equipped with two depth charges and double-coupled heavy machine guns.
Including WWI, WWII, the Vietnam War, and more, these military vehicle replicas make unique toys and displays. The combat vehicle sets resemble specific tanks, jeeps, planes, and ships that have been used in both sides of war through modern history. The models are made of interlocking plastic bricks, pre-printed with logos and identification markings. The sets vary in difficulty level, and piece count and are great for interactive and imaginative play. COBI bricks are compatible with other brick construction brands. ~ Brianna
