The 1945 Melville PT Boat football team represented the Melville Motor Torpedo Boat Squadrons Training Center during the 1945 college football season. The team was led by coach Mike Holovak.[1] The team was disbanded following the October 20 game against Army and the base closed shortly thereafter.[2] As a result, the November 3 contest against Harvard was canceled.[3]
