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.
