The Crew of PT 236. "Crawfish" written on the back of the photo, read online it was called "Crayfish".
PT 236 towed John F Kennedys PT 59.
Shortly after we arrived at Lambu Lambu Cove, the base commander received an urgent message that a Marine patrol was trapped on Choiseul Island near the mouth of the Warrior River. Kennedy's PT-59, whose fuel tanks were only half full, was assigned to pick up the desperate Marines. He was assisted by PT-236 of our squadron, whose tanks were full. The plan was for PT-236 to tow Kennedy's boatfull of Marines back to Lambu Lambu Cove once he ran out of gasoline. The mission was a complete success, with 236 under Ensign William F. Crawford extending PT-59 the towline at about 3 am on November 3, 1943, and bringing it back to Lambu Lambu Cove
