Coolest PT boat in the world! Built in the 50s and still hauling the seas @50kts.

Pure heaven! Engines From CRM/Isotta Fraschini
T56 has 3 CRM 18D/SS diesels ~1650hp/each
T26 has 2 Isotta Fraschini 18cyl petrol engines ~ 1500hp/each

Watching this footage just on KZbin even is captivating. These certainly were monster boats with a huge amount of character. It must be the engineers dream to be on board running them close to maximum power. My Dad drove steam engines here in Australia then progressed to big diesel Loco's. I rode on them often with him. To this day I say those steam engines were "alive" with soul like a living breathing powerful monster. Just like these PT boats. Thanks for sharing the video it's great !!

[@davidbraxton5110]

Great piece of history, thank you.

[@MachTuck]

...Watching this, doesnt get old! Amazing lines and big diesels!

[@bobo-wf1jv]

My Dad was in Patton's 3rd Army 89th Division and they crossed the Rhine at night in amphibious ducks watercraft during WW2.

[@mondeacid5610]

That boat is hauling ass!!

[@user-vw5gd8cp3c]

Underbar film!❤❤❤ När Sverige va ett land att vara stolt över!!!

Helt klart filmen med den bästa klippningen och redigeringen i serien av filmer om T56 och veteran flottiljen. Bra jobbat, mera sånt! :-D

[@xvdd1]

That's a mighty fine boat you have there, intoxicating sound and speed makes you forget how much go juice those puppies are guzzling, lol.

[@init100]

The big one with the missile launchers and the gas turbine engines is even more thirsty.

[@robertdrinkall8947]

Nice video, good footage.

[@librero46]

Wow!!!! You are playing my music----big engines!

[@Weptek911]

Great video! I hope these museum ships are still operating with all their dedicated volunteers. Love the videos

[@Teawby]

They still do:)

[@csnelling4]

Great boat and video thanks👏👍

[@Ouscazz]

My dad did his service on one of these torpedo boats with the W18 gasoline powered Isotta Fraschini engines, killer boats! They where later rebuilt as patrol boats and housed two large 1500hp turbo diesel engines, I did my service on one of those.

[@iwens1966]

Screaming turbos! LOVE IT!!!!!

[@xKmotx]

Awesome video!

[@JosephStately]

PT boats were the coolest craft on the water. Rode on PT 728 some years ago on the Hudson River. Wild.

[@boleynali]

t56 looks an older design but with horsepower half as much again must be an absolute rocket ship.

[@paavosalmela9334]

My dad served in WW 2 on finnish motor torpedo boat. 2x Isotta Fraschini a 1150 hp, top speed 52 kn, They ate kerosine.

[@mikefournier2601]

I got a ride on one in the 60 s love it cool boats 👍

[@iansrving]

Wow, that thing rolls so much coal! I love it.

[@perrooceaniko2005]

WOWWW !!! BADASS BOATS .............. !!!

[@simonperreault8430]

It’s loud on the speakers! Imagine on board! 😮 roaring!

[@georgepeace3791]

my father served on a fairmile B class powered by american Hall Scott Petrol engines, not as fast as mtb,s but served well in their tasks George Peace

[@user-qr5vb3vm6e]

Awesome 😊

[@rsd3637]

I was coming out of Cape MayNJ just after lunch one day in my late teens, my brothers and I found ourselves behind an old PT boat idling out of the bay. early lesson don’t pass an idling PT boat your in danger of burying your boats nose in the second wave🤣

[@piedro132]

Magnificent boats, what a power

[@stingasorin9452]

COOL ... !!!

[@phatista]

How about a horn blast when leaving the dock there, captain.

[@Cgem201]

[@Robert--cm2nf]

when are they going to sea again ? You can sign me in :-)

[@faustuskluge2745]

!Wunderbar

[@andrewgordon235]

Does it still have the armor plating it originally came with? I know the weapons are demilled so they can't be used again but what about the armor? If it does and it still goes that fast that's amazing.

nice video which boat is faster

[@Teawby]

@captainmcduche updated the info!

[@MrFIZZYMann]

The Engines Cylinders, are they: V or W configuration ?

[@martinborgen]

W, so three banks of six cylinders, three engines in total, each of about 1650 hp.

Bass line to a song.,

[@montiraruba2831]

What is the name and group of the song at the end of this video?

[@Teawby]

DJ Contacreast. Check out his channel here on youtube!

[@Xaeron87]

It is not in service and yes, that is a turbine powered boat. Its name is R142 Ystad. :)

[@init100]

What's even better is that they offer several daytrips per year in the Stockholm archipelago to the public. It's fairly expensive (around 1500-2000 SEK per trip), but someone has to pay for all the fuel it guzzles. 😀

[@xelton2890]

UM TANK DE GUERRA SOBRE AS ÁGUAS.....

[@2011gmh]

wasn't this the same type of boat that pres. Kenady ran during ww2?

[@erichn4291]

Same idea. Kennedys boat was built by higgens boat yard powered by 3 v12 packard engines. And made of plywood too

[@Squarerig]

Is she wooden-hulled or steel?

[@Teawby]

Steel:)

[@mileslanning4040]

actually American PT boats were powered by 3 5M2500 PACKARD V-12 engines, there are no such engine as a liberty v12,

[@stephenmiller7388]

But the packards wer petrol and consumed horrendous amounts of gasfor really only averagevreturns i heard maintenance was veryhighplus verynoisy watch Mckales navy lollisten to tinker their pt73 engineer lol...

[@avcproductions_ant_modrow]

what kinda power and what age of the engines?

[@ursus9104]

40's - 50's my guess.

[@init100]

I think they are Isotta Fraschini W18 engines at around 1600 hp each, and the boat has three of them. The big one with the missile launchers has three gas turbines (originally Rolls-Royce Proteus) at around 4500 hp each.

[@calleskurken9025]

only in sweden

[@7822welshsteam]

Not as loud as a class 56 or a Valenta.

[@Propellerschrauber]

A Class 56 or Valenta are not very loud on the water.

[@7822welshsteam]

@@Propellerschrauber Haha! Valentas were used in boats, actually. I've never seen any footage of one, though!

[@bearasojrnr]

Close, but not the Merlin Packards, they were supercharged, not turboed.

[@johnnymclaneutah]

what boat is at 7:05

[@init100]

R142 Ystad, a Norrköping class missile boat. It was originally built as a torpedo boat, but was converted into a missile boat in the '80s. It's powered by three gas turbines at around 4500 hp each. All of these ships are decommissioned from active duty but are maintained in operating condition by a group of enthusiasts. R142 Ystad and its sister ship (sort of) T121 Spica offer multiple daytrips each year to the public. I can fully recommend going on one of those trips, which I've done five times so far. It's fairly expensive, at around 1500-2000 SEK per trip, but it's easily worth it.

[@stephenmiller7388]

With stu fflike this how did they loose my apoligies toall those who suffered ple excuse me as i was born after it finished lost 3 uncles

[@towedarray7217]

It takes real commitment to one’s craft of being technically incompetent to blow your export process hard enough to trick KZbin. Nice work with this. You could film on a 1998 PalmPilot with dot matrix resolution and KZbin would be able to correct it for target screen sizes. I don’t even know how this was accomplished. Solid work. I assume this channel is busy editing Steven Spielberg’s next film but if you’re not too busy with that, maybe fix this sometime? The actual content of this video is so cool otherwise and I actually really appreciate that you uploaded no-frills footage and sound of this unique craft. I’m sorry for my mean words.

[@deepfreezevideo]

OMG you're killing us with this incredibly ridiculous weenie music. Any self respecting PT boat crew member would torpedo the deejay.

[@Bolivar2012able]

MIC IS JUST OVERWHELMED. VERY POOR QUALITY SOUND.

[@JH-lo9ut]

Bring your own mic then. You can buy a trip on one of these like anyone else.
