John Wayne owned a sub chaser. I'm not sure what kind (type...model, etc.), but I remember that was what it was...modified, etc for private ownership. I think it is still in So. Cal. Matt

What he owned was a YMS ... which could be a Sub Chaser or Mine Sweeper Mike. It was not a SC. That confusion was one of the main reasons why I did this new book guys. To have people see that there was another type of Sub Chaser design other than the 173 foot PC and the YMS hulls that were configured as Sub Chasers. Not a lot of people know/knew the 110 footers even existed. Another reason why I did this book was that my grandfather served on SC-21 and SC-253 in WW1 and my father served on SC-699 in WW2. SC-699 was a famous boat before my father got aboard her. In 1943, she was hit by a G4M Betty bomber and nearly destroyed.

I got mine the other day and looked through it but that's about it. It is a very nice edition to my growing reference library. I may need to expand the number of bookcases in my new hobby room.

Loose Cannon has a 110' SC along with a PGM and Higgins PT in their Small Combatant set. They are all in 1/700 but still have a lot of detail.
