Did the Nile River have reptile monitors to block enemy boats?

something dangerous

Traditionally it was vessels under 200 feet long. Vietnam Riverine Boats (Brown Water Navy) were all considered boats; Swift Boats (PCF-Patrol Craft Fast), PBR's (Patrol Boat River), Monitors (River Battleships), and Alpha Boats (ASPB-Assault Support Patrol Boats). Blue Water Naval vessels were Frigates, Destroyers, Cruisers, etc.

practically yes because they are planning to block the river that the oil goes on the boats to get to America.

Operation "Game Warden" was one of them. US Navy "Brown Water Navy" units conducting riverine warfare using PCF-Patrol Craft Fast (Swift Boats); PBRs (Patrol Boat River); ASPBs (Assault Support Patrol Boats-better known as Alpha Boats); and Monitors (River Battleships).

The US Navy's Riverine Forces were part of the US Navy's Brown Water Navy; only the second time it was created. The first time was the US Civil War (1861-1865). The Brown Water Navy (Riverine Forces) used: Swift Boats (PCF-Patrol Craft Fast, all aluminum 50' foot long boats); PBR's (Patrol Boat River-fiberglass 32 foot long boats); Alpha boats (ASPB-Assault Support Patrol Boats, all steel contructed boats); and Monitors (River Battleships).

Yes the are boats there you can ride on.

Well over a dozen US Navy riverine boats were sunk in the Vietnam War; Swift Boats (PCF); PBRs (Patrol Boat River), Alpha Boats (ASPB-Assault Support Patrol Boats); unknown number of Monitors sunk, if any. The ex-USN Aircraft Carrier USS Card was sunk by communist sappers in harbor in South Vietnam.

The US Civil War was primarily "river battles", the famed Monitor vs the Merrimack being the most noted. US Navy riverine boats also fought in the rivers during the Vietnam War. Both the Civil War & Vietnam War used "River Monitors."

The US Navy's "Riverine Force" in the Vietnam War. The riverine force operated Monitors, Alpha boats, PBRs, and Swift Boats.

War costs money! Money is used to build (in Vietnam's case): Swift Boats (these boats were built in Louisiana); PBRs (Patrol Boat River, built in Washington state); Monitors; Alpha Boats (ASPB-Assault Support Patrol Boats; these boats were built in Oregon); M48 Patton tanks (built in Detroit); ammunition/rifles/machineguns built in various plants thru out the continent...etc. etc. Once the war is over...so's your job.

Of course you should have specified which nation? Because the South Viet army may have had more boats than their navy. But although it's been said that the US Army during WWII had more boats than the US Navy did in WWII, the USN in Vietnam probably had more riverine boats than the USA did, for the simple reason USN had: Alpha Boats (ASPB-Assault Support Patrol Boats), PBRs (Patrol Boat River), Swift Boats (PCF-Patrol Craft…
