1. North Vietnam readily admits to the naval engagement between their 135th Torpedo Squadron and the Destroyer USS Maddox on 02 August 1964.
2. North Vietnam denies fighting the destroyers USS Maddox and USS Turner Joy on 04 August 1964.
As a matter of "trivia" fact: Those actual 3 NVN torpedo boats that attacked Maddox on 02 August 1964 (in which one was claimed sunk) & and were allegedly possibly used again on the 4th of August 1964 (Boats T-333, T-336, and T-339) were indeed actually sunk on or about 1/2 July 1966 by US jets from the carriers USS Constellation & Hancock.
