Laid down on 14 April 1938, arrived on March 1939. The second arrived in July 1939, named 'Luzon', Q 111. The third MTB's hull was locally built by Engineer Island and had imported Thornycroft Inc. engine. Completed in March 1941, she was named 'Agusan', Q 113. Eight other Q-boats were laid down on May 1941, from which only two (Q 114 and Q 115) were commissioned in early 1942 (probably, not fully completed). Six incomplete boats were destroyed by Japanese aircraft on slipways during bombings in December, 1941. They were to be part of the 50 MTBs envisioned then to be completed by 1946. During this time only the British and the Italian navies have MTBs while the USN was developing their own, called PT boats. Q-boats were so called in honor of Pres. Quezon. They were assigned to the OSP's 1st Q-Boat Squadron, also dubbed as the 'Mosquito Fleet', which won a lot of decorations and citations during its colorful stint in WW II.
