The WWII Sumner class destroyer, USS Maddox, expended nearly 300 rounds of 5" gunfire in a running gun battle against 3 torpedo boats from the North Viet Navy's 135th Torpedo Boat squadron on 02 August 1964 in the Gulf of Tonkin.
A black and white photograph taken from the Maddox's deck clearly shows 3 torpedo boats making a run on her; this photo was published in the newspapers in 1964. To this day, still, no one believes it!
