PT-109, any other PT boat Captain that allowed his boat to get rammed by a Destroyer would have been court-martialed.

And court martialing Kennedy was indeed considered!
But no one wanted to take on Joe senior.
Read Caro's book ‘JFK: A Question of Character’.

I doubt too many other PT-boat captains were routinely below deck playing cards and getting drunk without a single man on watch.

Straight scoop from a high ranking US Naval officer who was told he'd be on JFK's court martial.
