PT-190 was an 80-foot Elco from the Elco Works at Bayonne: about 56 tons, three Packard gasoline engines, roughly 40 knots, and a crew of about 14 to 17. She was placed in service on 19 February 1943 in Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron 12.
On the night of 24-25 October 1944 Ensign Edward S. Haugen had her in Lieutenant (junior grade) Dwight H. Owen's section, northeast of Limasawa Island, with PT-151 and PT-146. The boats were among 39 under Commander Selman S. Bowling.
She shared the 40 mm hits that killed the illuminating destroyer's searchlight. The destroyer is not identified. She then came under fire from a battleship, and the battleship is not identified. She got away with nothing worse than shell fragments. No torpedo hit was claimed.
She was placed out of service on 26 October 1945. She was not sunk in the battle.
