How many PT boats were lost in World War 2 and how many Swift Boats were lost in the Vietnam War?
Approximately 69 US Navy PT boats were lost during WWII; discounting LTjg Kennedy's PT-109 which was cut in half by an Imperial Destroyer, the majority of PTs were destroyed by strafing/bombing aircraft. About 11 US Navy PCFs (Patrol Craft Fast), known as Swift Boats, were totally lost during the war. Many Swift's were sunk; However, being constructed from ALUMINUM allowed them to be raised, repaired, and returned to service. This was in contrast to the WWII PT boats which were built of WOOD; and not (willingly) salvagable when damaged. 1. PCF-4 was sunk by a mine. 2. PCF-5, 9, 14, 20, 70, 76, and 77 sank in storms. 3. PCF-41 & 43 were sunk in battle with shore based communist units. 4. PCF-19 was destroyed during a running gun battle with a North Vietnamese helicopter.
