Approximately 174,000 US Navy men served in Vietnam, normally off the coast (Yankee & Dixie Stations) providing air strikes (from carriers) & fire support from the gunline (battleship USS New Jersey, cruisers, and destroyers). Remaining US Sailors were normally assigned to the Navy's Brown Water Navy's Riverine Forces, which manned Swift Boats (PCF-Patrol Craft Fast/all aluminum boats); PBR's (Patrol Boat River/all fiberglass boats); Alpha Boats (ASPB-Assault Support Patrol Boats/all steel boats); and Monitors (Riverine Battleships/cannon armed converted WWII LCMs). Approximately 2,555 US Sailors were killed during the war.
