Expendables at Bataan Battle Told by MTB3 Officers
Four remaining members of Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron 3 recount their role in the Bataan defense. They describe torpedo runs against Japanese ships, the loss of two boats, and a planned risky departure to China that shifted to a secret ship to Australia. The officers stress worn-out boats, dwindling fuel, and the grim dilemma of continuing resistance as MacArthur plans a last stand before departure.
