Sunk by PT boat

PT boats were (as with their name, Patrol Torpedo) meant to patrol around and ambush targets. Yes, they were made of plywood, but to hit a tiny, fast-moving thing like that was hard, and light flak rounds were fairly ineffective even against that. They are not meant to "front-line" ships, they are meant to flank or harass. Torpedoes are possibly the most dangerous weapon a ship could possess. But because they can't fire their torpedoes in game, PT boats are more nuisances than anything else.
