During the Vietnam War, US Battleships (USS New Jersey), Cruisers, and Destroyers sometimes traded salvos with North Vietnamese SHORE BATTERIES. US Aircraft Carriers were always kept out of range of COMMUNIST SHORE BATTERIES.

No, it wasn't because nobody won any land.
US Navy Aircraft Carriers normally operated US Navy aircraft flown by US Navy pilots; however sometimes during WW2 these aircraft carriers had US Army Air Force or US Marine Corps aircraft on-board to be flown-off by Army or Marine pilots. This was for ferrying operations. These aircraft would take off from the carriers but land on an airfield. Army pilots were not trained to land on carriers, neither were the Army aircraft equipped for carrier landings. US Marine pilots & Marine aircraft could operate from carriers if necessary, until they could be established at an airfield.
Yes. That's what made aircraft carriers so dangerous, they could strike anywhere!

The US generally kept one carrier at "Yankee Station" in the Gulf of Tonkin, east of Da Nang and Hue, near the border between North and South Vietnam. This was officially "Point Yankee". The US kept at least one carrier in this vicinity from 1964 to 1973, to carry out bombing raids in North Vietnam and close air support of troops ashore. There was a corresponding "Dixie Station" off the Mekong Delta of South Vietnam, where the US kept an additional carrier in the early years of the war. Just about all the carriers in the US fleet were "on Yankee Station" at some point during the war. The US had 22 carriers during this era and all but the John F. Kennedy were in Task Force 77, of the US 7th Fleet on Yankee Station at one time or another. Currently the US has 11 of the 22 aircraft carriers in the world. Eight other navies operate a total of 11.
There were land-based air force planes at an airport nearby, but most of the planes were on aircraft carriers that were at sea during the invasion, and were untouched.
It was mainly in Vietnam which when the war began was divided into the Republic of Vietnam (known as RVN or South Vietnam) and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (known as DRV or North Vietnam). After the war ended (with defacto victory for North Vietnam) both Vietnam's were re-united. That state is now called the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. During the war fighting also spilled over into neighbouring Laos and Cambodia.

Military might (win with firepower): 1. Air Power-B52s 2. Sea Power-Carriers and battleships (One, the USS New Jersey) 3. Land Power-M48 Patton tanks
It would be very close to impossible to answer that question, as the "first land battle" would've occurred in or about 1955 and possibly even earlier (1954) or later (1956), as US forces were present in RVN during those time frames. Fighting was occurring during those dates between the US and the forces of communism in South Vietnam.
