Description

RAN, USN and Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) personnel searching for enemy mines and obstructions in a Mekong River tributary. A heavily armed USN river patrol craft, flying the US and Republic of South Vietnam flags (left), acted as a mother craft to the smaller outboard motor powered boats crewed by a mixture of the three nationalities. An M60 machine gun is mounted at the rear of the boat at right. The tide line can be seen on the riverside trees. The Australians were members of Clearance Diving Team 3 (CDT 3).
