Anyone have a site to obtain plans, drawing schematics, etc on the Viet Nam Era Swift Boat? Have comission I am considering but neet more info. Only thing I find is the old Monogram Model and some great Web sites for pictures, but little in the way of specifics.

thanks!

Try Coastal Forces or the Floating Drydock for a start. if that does not work, go to the Navy at Portsmouth Navy Yard.
