Description: Coastal Riverine Squadron 4 Riverine Command Boats (RCB) Nautical chart art print of a Coastal Riverine Squadron 4 Riverine Command Boat from an original watercolor painting on a nautical chart by the Artist, William B. MacGregor Jr. ---------------------------------------------------- Riverine Command Boats (RCB) are watercraft designed to patrol rivers and other shallow water. Their speed and small size makes them useful for patrolling busy waterways such as the Persian Gulf and protecting larger Navy ships. The boats have a crew of 5 and can carry up to 20 passengers. The RCB’s bristle with weaponry, averaging a weapons station every ten feet including six machine gun mounts. The bow and hull are reinforced so the boats can be run aground on rocky shores without worrying about gouging a hole and taking on water. Riverine Command Boats are packed with sensors and communication gear allowing the boats to communicate with other navy ships, aircraft and even ground forces. The boats serve with the three Riverine Squadrons with the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command.  Nautical chart art print of a Riverine Command Boat (RCB).  Nautical Chart background: Joint Expeditionary (Naval Amphibious) Base Little Creek Virginia.  Free shipping (USA only) Art Print  Art print is printed on Canson Fine Art-Photo Rag Paper or equivalent.  Mounted in a beveled double mat.  Matted Art Print is ready for a standard 11”x14” or 16”x20” frame.  Mat will be signed by the artist.  Note: Mat size is the outside dimension.
