TGarthConnelly Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hi Guys,Say Listen, ...I'dlike to ask you all a question "just for fun" ... there's no meaning toit, there's no ulterior motive to it; I'm just asking it just to start adiscussion ... that is it.Members of another board have givenme answers like "the Navy did not designate them anything ..." Or, myfavorite so far, "they are what they are ... just because you make up aname for them, it's not important because they were what they were.They missed the point of my question ... I was just asking it to start a discussion; not to be shut down for asking it.Now,before I ask the question ... let me preface it by saying I know whatvessels (in WW2) the USN designated PGMs (being converted from the 110'wooden hull SCs and the 173' steel hull PCs) and I know that MGB is aRoyal Navy designation and was never used on an USN vessel.......Thatsaid, all of you know that I've coined a phrase (PTGB) for the six PTs(the 59, 60, 61, 282, 283, 284 and the 285 - but the 282 replaced thedestroyed 284)to refer to those boats which were converted to all gungunboats.Now ...Here's my question ...Would you guys consider those boats as PGMs or MGBs? Both designators fit them. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
