During Vietnam War, US Navy
River Assault Squadron RAS 13
was to support the Mobile Riverine Force in South Vietnam in 1968. The primary mission of RAS 13 was the safe transportation of men and material to and from an area of operation in a riverine environment and the support of those forces. All assault craft used by RAS 13 were designed with this basic mission in mind. In addition to transportation of troops and equipment, RAS 13 performed a variety of secondary missions such as interdiction of hostile water traffic, security for the Mobile Riverine Base, waterborne re-supply of assault forces, mine sweeping operations, direct and indirect fire support to assault forces, blockades of hostile beaches and waterways, and riverine armed reconnaissance element operations.
