New Jersey Fires On North Vietnam Near Hon Mat Island
The 56 000 ton battleship New Jersey opened fire Monday near Hon Mat Island well north of the DMZ in weather rains. Guns blasted an antiaircraft site and part of the island collapsed into the sea. A second strike hit a cave storage area 18 miles southwest near Vinh as US forces push north toward the 19th parallel. Officials say no confirmed Styx missile threat but keep watch over possible Soviet assistance.
