Giant Slingshot river patrols combat Viet Cong in the Delta
Navy River Division 534 and allied units man PBRs and ASPBs to patrol the Vam Co Dong and Tay rivers near Saigon. Crews endure long 12 to 16 hour shifts, mosquitos and mud, while hunting Viet Cong with helicopter gunships and artillery support. Patrol officers size up threats, call in air and sea fire as needed, and evacuate wounded as operations continue to deny VC movement along the dense waterways.
