A PBR-Patrol Boat River; that's the boat featured in the film "Apocalypse Now." Part of the USN's Brown Water Navy during the Viet War. About 300 of them were sent there, just over a hundred Swift Boats were sent to Vietnam. The Swifts were 50 aluminum riverine boats, the PBRs were about 32 feet long and all fiberglass, using water jet engines (no propellers).
