The Ospreys of the United States Navy.

Expensive, Vulnerable and Useless.

At the rate of decline of the military ,
PT-109 will be one of the 'Heavy Crusers' of the modern Navy.

Ospreys still have killed fewer people than the CH-46 had by this same stage in its development/service. The CH-46 is a Marine killer.
