Talk:Patrol Boat, River

message: I've always heard of rigid being what R stood for ever, and this doesn't jibe with period manuals either (such as Fleet Marine Force Manual 8-2, dated 1969, which has it as river).  I think the name shouldn't be changed.  Even if river was the original term or another term, Patrol Boat, Ridge is far more commonly known and was officially uesd.  It is a better article title in my opinion. -- Thatguy96 00:16, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

message: My pals and I called them Pabst Blue Ribbon (aka PBR) as an allusion to the tin can.  Heard other soldiers use this term as well in SEA.

message: This list needs to be truncated. A PBR merely appearing in a particular work of fiction is not enough for it to be included in this kind of article. It is simply not relevant. Let's use some discrimination.

replies: text: I removed the list again. It is not referenced and I couldn't see anything that was relevant—again, with the possible exception of the vessel's appearance in Apocalypse Now. 72.200.151.13 (talk) 00:02, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mk 18 Mod 0 grenade launcher 

message: The common name of the boat would just be "PBR", yet the title is "Patrol Boat, River", which isn't even used in the article—apparently because the official designation uses Riverine. What's up with this article's insistence on being doubly wrong? WP Ludicer (talk) 09:54, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

message: In the armament section it says the boat is equipped with a m19 grenade launcher, but in the overview it says it has a m18 grenade launcher. Which is it? Did it have both? Realfakebezalbob (talk) 14:36, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
