Haiphong raids tied to broader North Vietnam pressure
Officials described the latest bombing as an extension of a three year air campaign against North Vietnam’s internal transport network. The Joint Chiefs urged broader strikes including Cam Pha, but McNamara’s stance remained. The Haiphong raids were pitched as a stepup within established policy, not a new strategy, with permission granted under conditions avoiding foreign shipping.
