USS Marathon (PGM-89)
USS ''Marathon'' (PGM-89/PG-89) was an acquired by the U.S. Navy for the task of high speed patrolling in shallow waterways.
The second ship to be named ''Marathon'' by the Navy, ''PGM-89'', a motor gunboat, was laid down 21 June 1966 by Tacoma Boatbuilding Co., Tacoma, Washington; reclassified ''PG 89'' on 28 March 1967; launched 22 April 1967; sponsored by Mrs. Robert W. Copeland; and commissioned 11 May 1968, Lt. L. W. Waterman in command.
== A specially-designed littoral combat ship ==
Designed for shallow water coastal operations, ''Marathon'' was built for speed and maneuverability. Constructed almost entirely of aluminum and fiberglass, the ship's light weight and gas turbine engines made the patrol gunboat well suited for counterinsurgency and coastal blockade operations. Given the guerilla tactics in the Vietnam War, as well as the danger to larger ships posed by small missile boats, the ''Asheville''-class patrol gunboats were seen as a relatively cheap "littoral combat ship."
