Motor torpedo boat tender

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Motor torpedo boat tender is a type of ship used by the U.S. Navy during World War II. The Motor torpedo boat tender's task was to act as a tender in remote areas for patrol boats (PT-boats) and to provide the necessary fuel and provisions for the torpedo boats she was responsible for.

This type of ship was classified as AGP and is sometimes called a "Patrol Craft Tender."
