PT boats can be built in Sydney. Under certain circumstances they could be built in Colombo too.
I set out the conditions in November 2011. This thread provides an opportunity for me to set out in greater detail how PT boats, and the other types listed on page 108 of the manual, can be created using supply.
1. There must be PT boats in the pool. Surplus PT boats can be sent back to the pool and after a delay will be come available for reassignment on map.
2. They can be created at an Australian or American port which meets the following criteria:
port is size 1
port has 10k supply points
For each PT boat created, 50 supply points are expended from the local port supplies. Up to 12 PT boats (subject to there being sufficient supply) will be created in each batch.
3. They can be created from the supply carried by a Transport Task Force if the following criteria is met:
the Transport TF loaded it's supply at the National Home Base (San Francisco for an American transport TF, Sydney for an Australian transport TF)
only ships in the transport TF with a cargo capacity of 1000 or more are candidates to generate PT boats
candidate ships must still have a minimum of 50 or more supply points not yet unloaded to generate a PT boat
the transport TF is located at an on map base which is not the same base where the supply was taken on board
Accordingly, an American Transport TF which loads supply at San Francisco on to two xAK with a cargo capacity of 8420 each, could sail to Auckland where it unloads 8200 supply points at Auckland from each merchantman, have its unloading stopped at that point and provided sufficient PT boats are in the pool, create a total of 8 PT boats (4 from each merchantman) and then unload the remaining 40 supply points.
It is usually much easier to create PT boats under method 2.
