FateAfloat. Not sunk at Surigao Strait. Placed out of service on 26 October 1945.

Laid down, displacement, length, beam, draft, speed, and complement are not stored for each hull, so this table leaves them out.

No photograph of PT-190. This is a U.S. Navy PT boat patrolling off New Guinea in 1943, the same kind of boat. It is not this hull. Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons.
