Well, this page, and the research behind it, will attempt to answer those questions!

For those of you unfamiliar with "Jane's Fighting Ships," it is a yearly publication put
out by Jane's Information Group, of the UK, they research all the navies of the world
and compile that information into one rather scholarly, large, expensive and weighty tome.

Each of the links, presented below, will take you to a page detailing one countries
use of the Patrol Craft Fast (PCF) or as we more commonly called them ... a SWIFT BOAT.
These links follow the histories of the various countries involved from the mid 1960s
through to the present. Most are rather long and may present contradictory information,
but in the end the trip is informational and leaves you with the answers you have sought.

Swift Boats DO still exist and remain in active naval service!!!

United States of America (US Navy)

Brazil --- South Africa --- South Korea
