Viet Cong Harass Allies In Mekong Delta Waterway Campaign
Viet Cong attacked a U S Navy river patrol boat in the Mekong Delta as part of a series of waterway assaults. Navy helicopters flew from offshore bases for first time to support river boats.

In South Vietnam ground action slowed to patrol skirmishes. The salvaged Battle line ship Ba ton Rouge Victory was towed to Vung Tau for repairs after being torn from its mooring.
