Conceived prior to World War I to accommodate the invention of the torpedo, PT, or patrol, boats came into their own during World War II. There, they were not only used to great effect by the U.S. Navy as torpedo launchers and attack vessels in all theaters of operation, but PT109 gained fame as the vessel skippered by a young John F. Kennedy.
