The YRBM 20, known as the Delta Hilton, was a floating Brown Water Navy base at Chou Doc in Vietnam during 1969 and 1970. In addition to supporting PBR River Divisions and other boats it also functioned not unlike a pocket helicopter carrier supplying fuel and ammo continuously for days in support of nearby air operations.
In one campaign ammo was passed hand over hand from a docking ammo ship to the flight deck and onto Seawolfs and Crusaders continuously for over 48 hours to stop the advancing North Vietnamese army near the Cambodian Border.
