Small Craft

FSC 1940: Small Craft

Federal Supply Class (FSC) 1940 covers small military watercraft used by Navy, Army, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard units. Parts and assemblies are stocked under NSN for operational and depot-level MRO support.

Small craft conduct patrol, boarding, riverine assault, utility, and harbor security missions. Their speed and shallow draft suit littoral and inland waterway operations.

Common types include patrol boats, rigid inflatable boats (RIBs), utility boats, and river assault craft. Hulls are built from aluminum, fiberglass, and reinforced inflatable materials for marine durability.
