Vietnam Project
The Gulf of Tonkin Incident
On August 2, 1964, three Vietnamese torpedo boats fired upon the USS Maddox. None of the torpedoes actually hit the ship. The Maddox called in air support and soon four fighters came to the call and helped the Maddox fend off the Vietnamese torpedo boats. Two days later, on August 4, the USS Maddox and the USS Turner Joy were not actually attacked by North Vietnamese, as was claimed at the time. “On the day of the alleged attacks, the commander of the Maddox, Captain Herrick, reported, “Freak weather effects on radar and overeager sonar men may have accounted for many reports. No actually visual sightings by the Maddox...All subsequent Maddox torpedo reports are doubtful in that it is suspected that the sonarman was hearing the ship’s own propeller beat” (Document 7). While this second attack never occurred, it led to the Tonkin resolution and increased involvement in Vietnam.
