Let me play Hillary's advocate here for a second. Why would he be firing his weapon if not under fire? Was this std operating procedure to fire into the shore after they send up a flare? I honestly don't know. Anyone?

I'm guessing here, but supposedly the Admiral had a technique to draw fire on his Boston Whaler so that the Swift boat with its 50 cal. could come behind them and wipe out the enemy from a distance that the VC weapons were ineffective.
