I'm not sure about this...Compare the S-Boot successes in the Med, Channel,Baltic and Black Sea with PT boats successes in the pacific...

Pt boats in the pacific were barge busters...yeah, they had hard times in the Guadalcanal area in '42/'43...but the pacific ocean was too large for these small boats, their main role there was to interrupt the micro-traffic of microscopic barges and boats around Japanese-held small archipelagoes...like during the new-guinea campaign...I don't even think that they sank something with torpedoes there
