I haven’t seen them sink any barges

[@raymondtonns2521]

so sink some barges! did you clip this film a litte too much?

[@turkey0165]

I wonder what happened to the 152 and crew post World War II what were their life’s like! Is there any living survivors 75 years later?

[@Miata822]

I don't know about them but there is a book and a movie about PT109. Some of that crew went on to other things.
