A PT 보트 (순찰 어뢰 보트의 약자)는 제 2 차 세계 대전에서 미국 해군이 사용한 어뢰 무장 빠른 공격 선박 (MTB)이었습니다. 그것은 작고, 빠르고, 저렴했고, 기동성과 속도로 가치가 있었지만, 전쟁 초기에 비효율적 인 어뢰, 제한된 무장 및 일부 변종을 연안 해역으로 제한하는 비교적 취약한 건설로 인해 방해를 받았다.

General Characteristics and Role
PT-617 was one of the late-war, high-production Elco 80-foot class Patrol Torpedo boats of the US Navy. PT boats were small, fast, and lightly armed vessels designed for high-speed hit-and-run attacks on larger enemy ships, especially at night. By the time PT-617 was built, the class had evolved significantly, incorporating heavier armament and better armor protection based on combat experience in the Solomon Islands and the Pacific. The 80-foot Elco design was the largest and most widely produced US Navy PT boat, known for its powerful engines and wooden construction, which kept the weight down while retaining high performance.

- Anti-Aircraft: 2 x twin .50 cal (12.7 mm) machine guns in powered turrets.
- Depth Charges: Typically carried a selection of Mark 6 depth charges for anti-submarine duties, or sometimes rocket launchers.
Service and Legacy
- Service Theater: PT-617 served in the Pacific Theater, primarily operating in the Philippines and later in the Okinawa campaign.
- Mission Profile: Primarily used for interdiction, sinking barges and small coastal vessels (“Barge Busters”), shore bombardment, and rescue operations.
- Post-War Status: Many late-war PT boats, including PT-617, were quickly decommissioned after the war and later sold or scrapped as they were highly specialized wartime assets.
- Preservation Note: PT-617 is notable today for being the only remaining operational 80-foot Elco PT boat in the world, preserved and restored by the Battleship Cove museum in Fall River, Massachusetts, alongside the USS Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. (DD-850).
