USS PT-564
Underway at high speed in 1943-45. At the time of this photograph,
she had been fitted experimentally with a pair of twin .50 caliber
machineguns forward, in addition to her normal armament of four
Mark XIII torpedoes, two .50 caliber twins in the superstructure
and a single 20mm gun aft.
This experimental boat ran extensive trials, but the design was
not further produced.
