Did Vietnam ever attacked the us?

Yes. In the 20th century a US warship was considered US sovereign territory. On 02 August 1964 elements of the North Vietnamese Navy's 135th Torpedo Boat Squadron operating P4 torpedo boats attacked the US destroyer USS Maddox in the Tonkin Gulf. Maddox returned fire, reporting destroying or sinking one NVN vessel and recieved one hit from their 25mm machine guns. USN F8 Crusader jets from a US aircraft carrier joined the fray and also reported destroying one enemy boat. The remainder of the NVN vessels returned to their base in North Vietnam. On 04 August 1964 it happened again, same place, same warship plus the USS Turner Joy; but thats a whole different story...

What was a torpedo junction?

Torpedo Junction was a term applied to any area during WWII that had a lot of ship sinkings from torpedoes (usually launched from submarines; and not destroyers, planes, or torpedo boats). The same rule applied to "ambush alley". Every war has an "ambush alley." Anytime military personnel get ambushed or otherwise have a gun battle or get shot at when passing down a certain road, highway, trail, etc. they title it, an "ambush alley." However, naval wars are a lot rarer than ground wars, and the last major naval war was WWII. The last large scale naval combat was the Falklands War in 1982 (between Britain and Argentina). The last important use of the torpedo was the Vietnam War, when on 02 August 1964 North Viet Navy torpedo boats attacked the USN destroyer USS Maddox in the Tonkin Gulf helping to ignite the Vietnam War. Torpedoes were launched at the Maddox, but scored no hits; but war was commenced against North Vietnam that same month.

How do you make lemonade using lemon juicers?

A lemon juicer is just like a torpedo with ridges that you stick inside a cut lemon and move around until all the juice comes out. You can do the same thing with a spoon, or you can just squeeze the lemon with your hand and accomplish the same thing. If you squeeze a lot of lemons, a lemon juicer is nice to have, it's not really a necessity.

What does a destroyer do?

IT DESTROYS!!!!! * In the late 1800's they were called "torpedo boat destroyers." As years went by the name was shortened, just as "battle-ships of the line" became battleships, and "aircraft carriers" are coming to be known simply as carriers. * The idea was to protect the larger warships; battleships and cruisers, from enemy torpedo boats, and they did so by surrounding them; the destroyer screen. Later, torpedo boats became less of a threat, but aircraft and submarines arrived to replace them, and the destroyer was still needed to operate with cruisers, battleships, and carriers. * In the past, it was easy to distinguish cruiser from destroyer by their sizes, but today that difference is less apparent. The Spruance class destroyer and Ticonderoga class cruiser are actually built on the same hull. Cruisers are primarily command-and-control ships now, and destroyers still do what they do. They provide a ring of protection for the carriers and cruisers with which they operate, but they are also capable of operating alone.
