In January 1973, TJ was involved in several "Operation Linebacker" strikes on North Vietnam, including one dubbed "The Battle of Brandon Bay", reported to be the largest naval engagement since WWII.
TJ fired the last naval salvo in support of the ARVN, one minute prior to the ceasefire.

Tim, I edited the artitcle to include the 10k rounds fired, and last round fired. I used the 72-73 Wespac Cruise book as ref. I am sure the National Archives have our log entries. Regards Dave Ginsburg —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stream-enterer ( talk • contribs) 15:09, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Gulf of Tonkin - "War Made Easy"
The Pentagon Papers also revealed the text of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was drafted and ready months before the actual fabricated incident took place. Johannjs ( talk) 00:14, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
According to the 1982 CINCPAC Command History (p 386-387), the USS Turner Joy was attacked with small arms fire from a Vietnamese vessel on the evening of June 20, 1982. The vessel was struck in the hull and superstructure, causing only superficial damage. The USS Lynde McCormick and USS Sterett were also fired upon hours later in the morning of June 21. -- D.E. Watters ( talk) 01:44, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
Wotcher, the standard for describing technical terms in non-technical texts is to "quote" them. I detected and edited an emphasis on gunline as a technical term of naval deployment to quotation ("gunline"). That we had gunline indicates that someone may have pasted gunline from a source without editing ``text\'\' properly. This indicates a copyvio by pasting may have occurred as the editor did not paraphrase their source. I'm noting this as I don't have the time to conduct the research (or obviously log in), as I'm mobile and not actively editing. If someone could check against source to see if the technical term indicates a paste, rather than out of style presentation of a technical term. Also, possibly, a more naval oriented editor could consider whether we have an article on gunlines and wikilink for the interested reader fascinated by the technical term. 120.18.212.18 ( talk) 07:09, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
