Patrol Boat, River

West of the ramp are two additional piers.

The first is longer and shelters eight PBRs, Patrol Boat River.

They are Mark One PBRs of Riv Div Five Forty-Three, and they bristle with weapons Farther west, just inside the wire boundary, is a seventy-five-foot tower where unseen eyes watch expectantly in all directions from this lofty nest.

At the foot of the tower is the last pier, alongside which are moored five LCPL Mark Five patrol boats of the Dong Ha River Security Group, very old, dented, with bullet holes providing ventilation here and there.

One new LCPL Mark Twelve bobs gently, rolling against its mooring lines.

The boat that Martin Sheen...

That's called a PBR, Patrol Boat Riverine, and a lot of those were built up in Bellingham.

Oh, wow.

Fiberglass boat, Jacuzzi engine, which means it doesn't have a s- it's, it's like a jet.
