We used to supply Swift Boats in the Mekong Delta when we pulled that duty.
I was on a DD and she could go in the mouth of the Delta.

The Navy command in VN sent some out of Danang to PBRs in the delta on some half-assed scheme. I wasn't one but a good friend went. When he returned (after 2 wks; scheme canceled for security concerns) clued me in on the Riverine Forces. The Swifts restored normal commerce on the major arteries; the PBRs pushed the VC out of the tributaries. And other stuff.
