Here is a couple pics a friend of mine sent me from Iraq - I guess they us them on the river - 50 knots after a engine tinkering session. 2 50 cal mounts forward and a 40mm aft.
These are low resolution (640 x 480) I have a higher resolution 92304 x 1728)if some one wants them - drop me a pm
Go get 'em Swifties

These boats were/are called the Brown Water Navy for a good reason.
......  ......
Some Swifts even got a make over to "jungle green" when in the Ca Mau
Neither the Tigris nor the Euphrates can be characterized as "blue water"
Semper Swift ... including the modern generation of Special Warfare Craft
PS: As with Swifts, the designers of these craft chose function over beauty.
