There was a PT boat base on Tulagi which was right across from Guadalcanal. They operated in Iron Bottom sound and harassed jap transports.
PT 59 destroyed a sub
PT 40 destroyed a destroyer
I just came back from the Nimitz Pacific museum in Fredericksburg. They have a section dedicated to PT boats and what they accomplished.

That sounds like a place I would visit. The Pacific theatre does not get as much publicity as Europe, but I've always been fascinated by it because my dad served there and would tell us a few stories.
