"Decades represents an editor's choice of the best of the many outstanding images that have appeared in Know Your Ships since its founding in 1959. Selecting them was both challenging and an amazing walk down memory lane. Sadly, many familiar vessels have disappeared from the shipping scene, replaced by even bigger boats representing an ever-dwindling number of companies. The photos have been generally arranged in the decade in which they appeared in the book, but exceptions were made to help illustrate the accompanying narrative. Founder Tom Manse took most of the photographs in the early years, and much of his fine work is represented in the initial sections of the book. As the number of pages grew and the cost of reproducing images fell, more pictures could be included. The past 20 years have seen an explosion of photos submitted thanks to the ease of digital imaging. In making this book, nearly 2000 images were considered, and many of the older ones were rescanned to yield the best quality possible given the age of some of the originals. We hope you enjoy the results." -- page iii

The exploits of the U.S. Navy's 'Patrol Torpedo' or PT Boat crews became famous during WWII. Known by the Japanese as "devil boats," the little PTs landed big blows on the enemy, sinking numerous ships and supply barges. They also laid mines, carried out intelligence operations, and performed search and rescue operations among other tasks. While the most famous boat of the war was PT-109, commanded by future President John F. Kennedy, PT-73 also gained fame as the star of the TV show McHale's Navy starring Ernest Borgnine. Originally created in 1945 by the Bureau of Ships, "Know Your PT Boat" was intended to educate the crews of motor torpedo boats about all aspects of PT operation and maintenance in the field. Filled with advice drawn from the battle-tested crews of the "mosquito fleet," and featuring hilarious (and sometimes impolite) cartoon illustrations, it's sometimes hard to believe this booklet was an official U.S. Navy publication. This softcover reprint features the original book in its entirety.
