Take a break to celebrate the Brown Water Navy today
Remember, today is National Vietnam War Veterans Day:
With that being said, dig this far out training film covering the “Small Boat Navy” as it was called in the 1960s, which consisted that wide range of Vietnam-era shallow watercraft such as the PBR, RPC, PGM, PTF, et. al
For your reference: (Drawn from Boats of the United States Navy, NAVSHIPS 250-452, 1967)
From what reference did you get these line diagrams? I have always been interested in the monitors of the Mekong. The brown water navy and its water craft in Vietnam were fascinating. I always enjoy finding new books on the subject. Thank you.
Erich, they were from Boats of the United States Navy, NAVSHIPS 250-452, 1967
