An unknown story of how four US Navy boats from Squadron 30 (RON 30), nicknamed the "mosquito fleet", ended up in the shores of Jersey and Guernsey on 12 May 1945. The boats were part of the US Navy patrol torpedo (PT) boats Squadron 30, which were used to combat German resistance or U-boat attempts to interfere with the main Liberation fleet. The discovery led to the discovery of the boats' location and the liberation of the Channel Islands.
