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

USS PT-330 was a motor torpedo boat of the United States Navy, carried on the rolls under the short designation PT-330.

On the night of 24–25 October 1944 she was one of the motor torpedo boats on patrol in Surigao Strait.

Thirty-nine boats made up that patrol. PT-330 was among them, in the strait through the hours that ran from 24 October into 25 October 1944.

Her place in the Battle of Surigao Strait, dated 25 October 1944, is that of a boat in the motor torpedo boat patrol.

She stands in that same duty for the night of 24–25 October 1944: one of the motor torpedo boats on patrol in Surigao Strait, and one of the boats in the patrol at the Battle of Surigao Strait.
