In 1967-68 I was an engineer on a LCPL 40' in Qui Nhon Harbor, Vietnam. We had a Hippy artist who painted these jaws teeth on all our boats. Six months later the Navy Dept ordered that they be removed. It was cool the bottom of the boat was read-lead, sides were Navy dark gray, and they only put the white teeth on above the waterline. While moving it looked like his mouth was all red. They tried it on 16' boston whalers but it did not look right.
