Does this include the PTs that Bulkley used in the PI?>> Yes, PT 34, which was my Dad's boat. <<2. Do you consider the S-Boat subs used in the PI as "coastal forces?">> No. CF is generally defined as small surface combatants such as PT, MGB, MTB, SC, PBR, PCF, etc. Al Ross ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) From David Wells Subject Re: German WWII Surface Ships Mike wrote > I know my question will sound silly to a lot of you.

ISBN 0-87021-790-9 Depending on which surface ships you're asking about, we can add others. David R. Wells ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) From Ned Barnett Subject Re: Subs and IJN Carriers First, thanks to Harold and John and all who weighed in on and off list about the sub colors - just what I needed. Gary (below), Osprey has a new book out on IJN carriers - it's typically Osprey-brief, but for what it is, it's a good book, and very reasonably priced. I learned more than I expected, and thought the photo and color selections were modeling-useful.
