Best Answer

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."
