Unless corrected by someone, US Sailors conducted WESTPAC cruises, which may have lasted about 6 months on the gunline in Vietnam. Brown Water Navy sailors manning the Swift Boats and other riverine boats performed a regular 12 month tour. The USN was operating two separate navies in the Vietnam War; Regular warships and riverine boats (officially classified as their "Brown Water Navy").
