US PT- 167 Battle of Cape Torokino
|
1941 version 1/72 scale Kit# PT102 $GONE
Over 12" long this is a LIMITED EDITION!! kit.
The US Navy's fast and robust Torpedo Boats
achieved great successes, especially in the Pacific theatre of war. On
5th November 1943, PT167 was under way with a convoy from Cape Torokina
towards the Treasury Islands. A sudden attack by 12 Japanese Torpedo
Bombers was followed by vehement defensive action. After a low flying
bomber had hit the radio mast on PT167, the boat received another heavy
hit but no explosion followed. During a succeeding attack by another
bomber squadron the gunners on PT167 shot down an enemy aircraft. During
an inspection of the boat after the battle a huge hole was discovered in
the bow. An enemy torpedo had penetrated the bow above the waterline
without exploding.
