It's a shame we didn't have craft similar to the E-Boats in the Pacific theater.

I really hope you are being sarcastic...

Actually Jacquerie had a valid point.

While the armament carried favored the US PT boats the German S-100 class E-Boats were of a slightly larger design and from the weight, 100 tons vs 80 ton for an Elco PT Boat I suspect the E-Boat had slightly better sea keeping qualities.

The other advantage of the S-100 were the diesel engines which gave the E-Boat almost twice the range of an Elco PT Boat. And in the Pacific range would have been king! Stated speed for E-Boat vs PT Boat were about the same at factory with the E-boat slightly better but in operational use I suspect there was not much difference.
