Johnson orders doubled destroyer force off North Vietnam
Washington UPI reports President Johnson announced he ordered the Navy to double its destroyer patrols off the North Vietnamese coast in the Gulf of Tonkin. An additional destroyer will join the existing unit and combat air patrols will be issued to destroyers to attack any attacking force in international waters. The Maddox survived the Sunday torpedo attack with no damage or casualties as carrier planes helped repel the boats. Top military aides in Honolulu study potential policy shifts while promising swift retaliation.
