No Steve No HSSC or LSSC or conversion... It's a proper model... and the role of that boat (propelled) and not Jacuzzi was to be the link between PBR and smaller boats

Dammit, I was looking through a few books on the river war in Vietnam and did see some IUWs in there, but thought that wasn’t it — mainly because of the windscreen that’s on most of them in the photos (p. 26 of Riverine: A Pictorial History of the Brown Water War in Vietnam by Jim Mesko, Squadron/Signal, 1985, for example).
