Leigh Ghelberg EMAIL: [ cuda73[ at ]prodigy.net ] Provides this information:
The above boats may be called LSSC (Light SEAL Support Craft)
The LSSC was built by Grafton Boats, of which 16 were built.
They were powered by twin Ford Interceptors
driving pump jets.
These became operational in 1969.

Tom's and Crawford's pictures on the web page are Strike Assault Boats of Strike Assault Boat Squadron 20. I was the gunner on Stab 01.

No Seals or VN navy personnel ever served as a crewman on our boats. We inserted and extracted seals as well as other troops. Kirk Ferguson, our CO is going to send an abbreviated Stab History to the MRF and other orgs, hopefully clearing up the bad info.

Vietnam Unit Memorial Monument

Vietnam Unit Memorial Monument



The Unit Memorial Monument is on the Coronado Naval Amphibious Base.
The Unit Memorial Monument will memorialize all the Naval personnel
who died or are missing in Vietnam. The names on the monument are organized by
unit complete with Unit insignia. Includes support and auxillary units.

Funds are needed to complete the Unit Memorial Monument and
restore the Command Control Boat, Swift Boat and PBR displayed there.
Your donations to this effort would be appreciated.


The Last known Command Control Boat (CCB-18) has arrived in San Diego
and is displayed at the Vietnam Navy Unit Memorial Monument Site
on the Coronado Naval Amphibious Base.
This was called by some a monitor boat.
