fiberglass boats for the PN

aka uss thomasawaiting idly (not all true as i am also recuperating from a coughing bug and truly grateful for the wi-fi access at home) for contacts to connect with local bajaus. research takes time. so i googled to learn more about the various water vessels in the philippines. i came upon a photo of fiber glass boats made for the Philippine Navy. the photo is from the Manila Times March 27, 1967 issue. Apparently the boats were made for anti-smuggling drive. Please click on this link to view http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairlane/6367889967/
