The Norwegian Navy and the Vietnam War

After the second world war, Norway invested heavily in the construction of large heavily armed fast attack boats to defend its 1400 miles of Atlantic Ocean coastline. The vessels were far more effective than the famed American PT boats that was ennobled in many a post war movie. At least two Norwegian sailors confessed to their involvement and CIA led clandestine attacks along the North Vietnam coast. Other reports never confirmed said that Norwegian patrol boats were manned by Norwegian officers and crew. He says that the US then engaged Vietnamese warships and falsely claimed that they were fired upon, which led us into war.
