Its one of those Modern Marvels shows.
Heres a description:

Fast, maneuverable, and versatile, the PT's hazardous missions in enemy waters became legend, helped pave the way to the Presidency for a dashing young lieutenant (John Kennedy), and saved an American general from almost certain capture. Daring PT vets recall how their relatively small boats were able to take on and destroy their giant steel-hulled targets. TV G"

I like how they mention JFK's "storied" PT Boat career. Weren't most of his so-called heroics and exploits aboard a PT Boat debunked several years ago?!?
