Battle of the Tonkin Gulf: Three torpedo boats from the North Vietnamese Navy attacked the destroyer USS Maddox in August 1964. The Maddox was hit once, and claimed sinking one of the NV Navy torpedo boats. USN F8 Crusader jet fighter bombers joined in, also claiming a destroyed NV Navy torpedo boat.
The Johnson (LBJ) administration down-played the sea action, and termed it an "incident." The Tonkin Gulf Incident (aka Gulf of Tonkin Incident) to be exact. It was quite an incident, it commenced war between the nation of North Vietnam and the United States for the next decade!
