USS DEFIANCE
PG-95
USS Defiance (PGM-95/PG-95) was a gunboat in the United
States Navy. The
165 ft boat was
powered by a combined diesel or gas system of two diesel
engines, and a gas turbine. This unique engine system
allowed her to cruise at economical oil use level with
the diesel engines, and to run up to 40 kn (46.0 mph) by
using the gas turbine.
