Historical Description of the PBR 31 Mk. II Pibber

The PBR (Patrol Boat, River) 31 Mk. II, known as the "Pibber," is an American river patrol boat widely used by the U.S. Navy and Army during the Vietnam War. The unit's mission was to combat Viet Cong guerrillas in the hard-to-reach areas of the Mekong Delta, transport patrols, and participate in special operations on the rivers and canals of South Vietnam. The introduction of modern PBR boats significantly increased the effectiveness of riverine special forces between 1966 and 1975.
