Built for the US Navy riverine warfare operations in the Vietnam War. Swift Boats were 50 foot long aluminum vessels, armed with three .50 caliber machineguns and one 81mm mortar aft; and manned by 5 crewmen and 1 officer (normally). Officially designated PCF's (Patrol Craft Fast) they were constructed by Sewards in Louisiana in 1965.

What is a small navy boat?

Although US subs, such as the GATO class during WWII exceeded 300 feet in length, generally (among US Sailors) any surface vessel less than 200 feet was a boat, longer than that was a ship. For US Navy "small combatants", those are the Vietnam era riverine boats used by the USN's "Brown Water Navy" in the war (Riverine Forces). The US Navy Swift Boat (PCF-Patrol Craft Fast) was an all aluminum 50 foot "small navy boat." The all fiberglass PBR (Patrol Boat River) was a 32 foot "small navy boat."
