The three boats that stayed to help PCF 3 were there for about an hour in a waterway that was 75 yards wide.

There were NO reports of injuries from gunfire.

There were NO reports of Gunfire damage to the boats.

How do the Viet Cong miss 3 stationary 55 ft boats at less than 75 yards?

How do the Viet Cong miss 3 stationary 55 ft boats at less than 75 yards?

There are really only two possibilities:

1) They were unbelievably poor marksmen.

or

2) They weren't shooting at them.

I think I'll go with option #2.
