Bob Hudson Posted May 11, 2013 Share #1 Posted May 11, 2013 The San Diego Maritime Museum has what is said to be the only operational Vietnam era swift boat. Starting this summer you'll be able to take a cruise around San Diego Bay on it, but some swift boat veterans got an early preview: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack's Son Posted May 11, 2013 Share #2 Posted May 11, 2013 Great pictures Bob. Until you told me about it, I had no idea the museum had added the boat. More to see went we have the normal hords of relatives visit this summer. It starts the end of this month, when we have 6 first time visitors from China. It cost them an arm and a leg to all get visas to come over at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
