Looks like a nice place to restore her.

Especially when it's 40 degrees outside and raining.

They build it a few years ago. When the vets originally started to restore her, she sat outside on a barge, under a tarp.

How did they use the Torpedoes?

In the late war, they replaced the tubes with roll off, mark 13s. But by the end off the War, the PTs were maining hunting Japanese supply barges, too small for torps.
