 | | PT 796, nicknamed "Tail Ender," patrolled the Caribbean and East Coast waters and was temporarily part of Post War Squadron 1. |
 | | Although she is a Higgins boat, PT 796 was painted with the hull number "109" and towed as a float in the President's inaugural parade. |
 | | She was actively used until she was decommissioned on July 7, 1970, and signed over to J.M. "Boats" Newberry, founder of PT Boats, Inc. After resting in a cradle in Memphis, Tennessee for several years, PT 796 was restored by PT Boats, Inc. and brought to Battleship Cove on August 14, 1975. |
