Where was the US navy allegedly attacked in 1964?
The USS Maddox and USS Turner Joy were allegedly attacked in the Gulf of Tonkin off the coast of Vietnam in 1964. These incidents, known as the Gulf of Tonkin incidents, were cited as a justification for the escalation of US involvement in the Vietnam War. However, subsequent investigations have revealed that the second attack on the USS Turner Joy may have been based on false radar readings and did not actually occur.

Did the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution make matters worse?
If by worse you mean formal US involvement in Vietnam, and largely unfettered control of military actions in Vietnam by President Lyndon Johnson, then yes. The Tonkin Gulf Resolution, Public Law 88-408, passed 7 August 1964, was in response to the two attacks against US Navy vessels (the USS Maddox on August 2 and the USS Maddox and USS Turner Joy on August 4) in the Tonkin Gulf. The Tonkin Gulf issue simply initiated open war between North Vietnam and the US. Prior to the Gulf incident there was no war between Hanoi and Washington, only a guerrilla war against the Viet Cong in RVN (Republic of South Vietnam)...not a war against North Vietnam itself.
