PT-641 Mod.1 "Valke" Class 80ft PT Boat

PT-641 is the 41st member of the 600 series "Valke" class of PT boats named after Commander Makarov J. Valke, a renowned PT boat captain who served in the first war of the Far East. PT-641 was notable for her service in the tenth PT boat squadron where she played an instrumental role in the early part of the Kissinger Islands campaign, where under the command of Captain James L. Knight, she along with the 5 surviving boats of the flotilla held off a small destroyer force at the Battle of Ballao Cove. During the battle, she sank a destroyer, turning the enemy force away, in exchange for the loss of 3 of the 5 torpedo boats. She along with PT-552, a 500 class PT boat, were the only surviving ships of the battle and, after picking up the survivors from the other 3 boats, retreated back and waited for the 5th destroyer squadron to arrive the next day. The defense of the island by PT-641 and the tenth destroyer flotilla successfully prevented the first attempt to land troops on the island chain and allowed friendly forces to hold out until the reinforcement by the 5th destroyer squadron.



PT-641 is 80ft long and carries 4 type 14 special greyback torpedoes. She is powered by 2 Matthew Industries supercharged V10 diesel engines powering her along at 50 knots at flank speed. She features a BL MK2 Surface Search Radar set allowing her to operate in low visibility conditions and at night. Her gun armament includes 2 twin 12.7mm turrets flanking the bridge, one single 37mm M1 autocannon forward of the bridge in a single mount, and a main cannon of a single Bofors L/60 40mm cannon in a fully traversable mount aft.
