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 Fast), ATCs (Armored Troop Carriers), and Monitors (Riverine Battleships armed with 105mm cannons). And the USA basically supplied the men (infantrymen) to be landed and the helicopters.
