IIRC they were "Riverine Craft". SEALS used Swift Boats to create
the Gulf of Tonkin Incident .... but y'all already knew all that.

Wrong. Swiftboats were mfg. by Swiftship.

The Navy used PBR's. A friend of mine drove one. But apparently there were
different models. According to http://www.njnavy.com/boats.htm PBM Mk 1
and 2 were 31 foot fiberglass boats.

Swiftships made a number of models from 38 to 77 feet plus two "Riverine"
models; one a 45' aluminum hull. Did the Brown Water Navy use them?
