The Huckins 78ft PT-95 was the first of eight PT-95-class torpedo boats produced by Huckins Yacht Company. The class was the culmination of a private venture by Huckins to develop a more durable PT boat design. Due to the lack of facilities, each Huckins boat was hand-crafted, resulting in a slow production run of only one boat per month. Nevertheless, testing results of the boat proved valuable in improving subsequent PT boat designs. After serving uneventfully around the east coast of the US, PT-95 was scrapped at the end of World War II in September 1945 at Newport, Rhode Island. Inadvertently, due to confusion between the PT-95 and the more famous Elco PT-59, this resulted in the latter being misidentified and neglected until it was destroyed in a fire just after its actual identity was discovered.
Introduced in Update “Leviathans”, the PT-95 is a small upgrade over the preceding PT-20 due to the addition of a single 20 mm Oerlikon autocannon and depth charges at its stern as well as improved coverage for its four Browning MGs, at the cost of losing a pair of torpedoes. Much like the other PT boats, the PT-95 performs well in head-on engagements or hit-and-run tactics, though the fragile hull also makes it vulnerable, especially from the sides.
