U S Ships Fire Upon Off Vietnam Coast
Three U S Navy ships were fired on Sunday night about 70 miles off the southern tip of Vietnam in international waters near Can Son. A single .30 caliber round hit the destroyer Turner Joy but caused no injuries or significant damage. This marked the first Southeast Asian Navy shootout since the May 1975 Mayaguez crisis.
