What role did Operation Sea Dragon play in the Korean War and the Vietnam War and the first Persian Gulf war?

I participated in Operation Sea Dragon during the Vietnam War. It involved the use of naval patrols and gunfire to destroy both land targets (bridges, trails, camps, etc.) and shoreline traffic (gunboats and supply barges). The gunfire was provided from a battleship (USS New Jersey in 1968), 6" and 8" cruisers, destroyers and gunboats. The operation, like the bombing campaign (Rolling Thunder) could have been a complete success had it not been for the cowardly intervention by the administration and the congress.
