A recollection of Soviet river boats describes shore-bombardment rocket racks being used against opposing PT boats and river craft. The participant explicitly says that the evidence found for this use is anecdotal. The suggested extension asks how Land Mattress or Katyusha-type racks would perform against light ships and escorts. The exchange identifies an unusual possible role for rocket artillery but supplies no engagement details or firm assessment of its effectiveness.
