Tonkin Gulf Incident. The "Tonkin Gulf Incident" was actually TWO sea battles occurring in the Gulf of Tonkin:
1. 02 August 1964, three torpedo boats belonging to the North Vietnamese Navy's 135th Torpedo Squadron under the command of Le Duy Khoai engaged the destroyer USS Maddox under the command of USN Commander Herbert Ogier (with Destroyer Division 192 commander Captain John Herrick on board).
2. 04 August 1964, alleged torpedo boats engaged the destroyers USS Maddox and USS Turner Joy. This sea battle was determined to be the result of "Tonkin Ghosts" (false radar images).
This last incident resulted in the Tonkin Gulf Resolution; which resulted in open war between North Vietnam and the United States.

Battle of the Tonkin Gulf: Three torpedo boats from the North Vietnamese Navy attacked the destroyer USS Maddox in August 1964. The Maddox was hit once, and claimed sinking one of the NV Navy torpedo boats. USN F8 Crusader jet fighter bombers joined in, also claiming a destroyed NV Navy torpedo boat.
The Johnson (LBJ) administration down-played the sea action, and termed it an "incident." The Tonkin Gulf Incident (aka Gulf of Tonkin Incident) to be exact. It was quite an incident, it commenced war between the nation of North Vietnam and the United States for the next decade!
