How many sailors manned world war 2 pt boats and how many us crewmen manned Vietnam war swift boats?

At least 2, possibly 3 companies manufactured the wooden PT boats of WW2. Consequently their lengths varied in size, and so did their complement of crewmen. The average WWII PT boat was manned by about 2 or 3 officers and 12 to 14 crewmen. The Vietnam War Swift Boats (officially designated PCF-Patrol Craft Fast) are alot easier to address: only one company made them; Seward's out of Louisania. These were 50 footers, and all aluminum built; manned by 1 officer and 5 crewmen.
