TGarthConnelly Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Hello All, I have a question, ... To the small craft knowledgeable who visit here; please look at the photo herein and please, please, please tell me what color the boat is wearing, please? I know that the bottom would have been Copperoyd, but what's the color of the boat? I'd say a gray. Do you concur? Also, do you guys see any depth charge racks on board? For a time frame, most probably late-43 into 1944. It's a 63-foot ARB (MSC Type 293) which was used for Special Operations. I'm having Kyle build this boat for me.

jcorley Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 I have seen photos of these in the SWPac/Philippines that were either color or colorized which show the boats in the various Patrol Green schemes. Alaskan boats were gray. Any idea where this was taken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGarthConnelly Posted April 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Hello James, Nice to hear from you again. I can only assume/presume that the photo was taken in Italy or the South of France. I understand the type of the MSC 63s (the Type 293) were utilized in Special Ops in the MTO.
