US Navy Swift Boat

[Philj]

Does anyone know where I can acquire a clean set of blueprints/ drawings of a Viet Nam era US Navy Swift. I have the profile drawings from the booklet of Navy Small Craft but am looking for prints with frame layout and interior views. I worked on these boat during my tour in Viet Nam and thought it would be good project to take on.
