Got rammed by a Jap destroyer while his boat was idling along. I believe he didn't even have all engines engaged
He was doing this in an effort to not be detected by the destroyer. The top speed of PT boats was not much more than that of Japanese destroyers. The best defense a PT boat had was to hide. Had he tried to run, odds are the destroyer would have quickly discovered and blasted them into oblivion.
