I'll have to get back with you on fuel mileage.and with some dates. and thank you again

and see where that leaves us.

as far as your PT deck guns is concerned, why not lash a 3 inch-50 on the front deck and pretend it is an Army 37mm...just like Ol' Jack Kannady? (boston pronunciation)

bad news, old son.
the only publicized PT base in the Philippines until 1944 is Cavite and that was evacuated in December 1941.
so, if you want to emulate Buckeley saving of Ol' Dugout Doug, we are going to have to get creative on base location.
i am going to connect a few dots and then progress to the Solomons.
