Maybe the same crew could recover Teddy's Buick.
To: TamiPie
Is there any other recorded incident of a PT boat being rammed be a destroyer?
To: governsleastgovernsbest
True, and I'm sure Hollywood is going to write up a new script for a movie, like Titanic...

Not to my knowledge. Maybe they saw the numbers "PT109" on the hull. That's how they know.

LOL.

In 1960 (before the election) columnist Drew Pearson reported General MacArthur said Kennedy should have been court-martialed for letting a Japanese destroyer mow him down.
Mac promptly denied the report, but who knows? Sounds like something he'd have said.

lol! Great idea!

"Kennedy towed an injured crewman to shore by swimming with a strap from the man's lifejacket in his teeth."
Later in life he pulled Marilyn Monroe around the White House with her bra strap in his teeth...

"Finding PT-109 is especially meaningful to the members of my family, but we also believe it represents the story of all the brave young men who fought with such courage in the South Pacific to ensure victory during World War II," Kennedy said in a statement. Something else for the Faux Royal Family of America to cling to and market in order to stay in the spotlight. No doubt the History Channel, A&E's Biography and National Geographic are scrambling as we speak.

I was channel-surfing last night and saw one of those, many, made-for-television love letter movies about the Kennedys. I skip them every time.

Maybe the same crew could recover Teddy's Buick. Ahem, Teddy was driving an Oldsmobile.

Not so quick. Here is a
link to PT boat losses in World War 2. The cause of PT-109 is attributed to 'Surface Craft', just like 9 other ones, so it's possible that other boats got rammed, too.
