U.S. Navy PCF-Patrol Craft Fast 19 (Swift Boat #19). According to "eyewitness's" in 1968, PCF-19 was involved in a "running gun-battle" with North Vietnamese Helicopters off the coast of the DMZ (17th Parallel). The Swift Boat exploded and sank. One crewman's body was never recovered. Responding U.S. jet fighters accidently struck the U.S. Navy Cruiser USS Boston and the Australian destroyer HMAS Hobart, killing two Australian sailors. The U.S. Navy states all incidents involved during this incident were friendly fire. See: "Swift Boat Down." By James Steffes (2005). ISBN 1-59926-612-1. James Steffes was a crewman aboard another Swift Boat, and was present during some of the action.
