#Bilgepumps this week is special, it's our hundredth and sixth episode, we officially qualify as a PT Boat, to be precise a 80' Elco Motor Torpedo Boat, which served in the Pacific during WWII from 1942 onwards, displacing 56tons, armed with one single 40mm mount, four 21" torpedoes, one 37mm mount, one 20mm mount and two twin .50 cal. machine guns, powered by three 1,500shp Packard W-14 M2500 gasoline engines driving three shafts for a top speed of 41kts.

We would also very much like any comments, topic suggestions or ideas for artwork to be tweeted to us, the #Bilgepump crew (with #Bilgepumps), at Alex (@AC_NavalHistory), Drach (@Drachinifel), and Jamie (@Armouredcarrier). Or you can comment on our YouTube channels (listed down below).
