As a brit who reads a lot of PBR Vietnam books Id say this boat would be just what was needed back then

@nilanjangupta763 Год назад

PBR is needed for Asian navies which have dual responsibilities of policing rivers and seas.

@seniorrider9337 Год назад

We did, there were two special boats that BSU-1 used to support Seal operations in Nam. the LSSC and the MSSC. LSSC, two 427 fords with water jets. MSSC, two 427 Mercruiser in board out boards. Good for about 35-40 knots carrying a Seal platoon. Two M2 .50 cal, two to four M60 .30 cals, and aft an M134 mini gun. Yes, they were bad ass boats!

@NarasimhaDiyasena Год назад

@@nilanjangupta763 Sri Lanka could use this for the Palk Striats. Lot of problems caused by South Indians doing illegal migration, drug trafficking, and dredge fishing which sterilized the Indian side of the striats causing them to cross over the sea boarded and dredge fish in the Sri Lankan side.

if this was available when I served in the Navy (1987-91), I would had stayed in and serve my 20 or more. Instead, I transferred to the Army. 😒 I did love my four years in the Navy.

@sachmo0196 Год назад

I was CSAR in the Nav. And yes, I agree with you! I flew (CC) and Swimmer (80-90's) but had a minor back issue that, let's just say...precluded me from constant bombardment on me, but did make it through SAR School. The new swick :) gave me a hope for those just shy of holy-shnikies. Know your place but....there is a place for you. Example: Your spouse isn't getting paid for housing while abroad and you look to a very special peep that can undue this fu*kery with great speed! Do you say this peep is unworthy? No, you don't! It's called optimized team-work.

The PT boat played a big roll for the Navy, sunk a lot of ships. They was fast and quick to maneuver. Plus they did a lot of missions, and help in rescue down pilots and things. Then after the war they made GREAT YACHTS

@frankcessna7345 Год назад

The PHM where retired in less then 5 years after their delivery from Boeing to the US Navy. They suffered from very high fuel consumption, where extremely large radar cross sections and here killing dolphins with their forward strut at an alarming rate. The Navy never wanted them and their only successful missions where in the Gulf of Mexica intercepting drug boats at a cost of $3,000 an hour.

@ranger2316 Год назад

@@frankcessna7345 Thanks. They did look cool, while underway, but kind of goofy when the foil was upright.

@frankcessna7345 Год назад

@@ranger2316 Loved going out to the final assembly facility for PHM in Renton Washington. The PHM carried a big punch - 76MM cannon and 6 harpoon missiles. The PHM was based on the Italian hydrofoil design that suffered the same fate. Hydrofoils where the “new and exciting” thing in naval architecture at the time but your absolutely right, they looked bitching deadly as they started their turban engines and departed the dock on lake Washington…

My dad's boat, MTB 313, RON 22, built by Higgins was nearly identical without a closed wheel house. 80' long, 35 tons, three 1500hp Packards, 48 knots top speed, 3,000 gallons of fuel, 4 torpedoes, 12 depth charges, 1 40mm cannon, six Browning twin 50's, two 20mm's. Made of 1" marine plywood, two officers and eight Sailors. I've heard it all and I have photographs to back it up.

@man-kitli1572 Год назад

When did your dad’s boat enter into service? A torpedo boat with 4 torpedo tubes can sink a cruiser.

@gordonmiles9995 Год назад

@Man-kit Li he sank many F-lighters in the Mediterranean. It reported for Shakedown February 18th 1944. His boat didn't have tubes, they rolled them off the side. As soon as they hit the water, the gyros would energize then the motors would start. Then they were on their way. They never went out on patrol with less than four

Training to use a manual gun on a boat is a skill no doubt, but I was as surprised to not see more "innovation" like a gyro-stabilized machine gun adapter at 5:20 where every round counts. Or even connected aim to the gunner's headset, with target acquisition and selection.
