Those things were suicide boats.
It's a wonder that JFK and part of his crew even survived.

Overpowered, plywood built, glorified ski boats crammed with aviation gas and ammo? And you ask if someone likes it? Remember, when you burst into flames, nobody loves you!

We don't usually joke about it. Nobody liked that duty, believe me. That was life-or-death in the river. Ask Kerry.

4. The Hitler Channel just did a show on PT boats |

and had a bunch of WWII vets who seemed to have loved serving on them.
Seems like pretty tough and dangerous duty to me.
