Kennedy, J. F.

The big scenario is missing this little known chap!

Lt Cdr, I think. I would give him Leadership=30, Inspiration=70

"Known to be a very promising and careful commander, best suited to a political career, only has a small problem on keeping awake nearby enemy forces"

I brought up the same thing in UV. Apparently, PT 109 was captained by another chap before JFK's arrival.

You are correct...he got to the South Pacific and wanted his own boat...the 109 was a busted up boat that was being cannibalized for parts...he agreed to put her back together if he wanted a boat that bad.
There are only two kinds of people that understand Marines: Marines and the enemy. Everyone else has a second-hand opinion.

BTW,Kennedy's crew "liberated" an Army 37mm AT gun and lashed it to the deck of the boat to "beef up" their firepower..This is usually not included on so-called models of this famous boat..

His name was Kennedy, lots of connections old chap... his brother was the real wwII hero, blown up flying in Europe on a near suicide raid.
