Well it sure looks like a fishing boat to this totally untrained eye. I'm gonna guess that it's a net-tender.

Too easy...

How'd you like to cross the Pacific on that beat up little tub-ette?

Looks wooden hulled but definitely beat up so maybe it did cross the pond.

No, but ought to be in the running. Very well designed for their intended job, and probably had more actual impact on the war than most of floating junk piles/money pits/resource hogs being bandied about as "Best Designed".

Join the Navy and see the world. These guys got screwed. Pretty hard to chat up the skirts with this billet.

Surely that's the Golden Gate bridge I can see in the background.

SG radar even on a little combatant like this! What price being a JFB when your enemy can lavish equipment like this on the meanest craft?
