Best Answer

The first official "retaliatory strikes" by USN jet fighter bombers against North Vietnam occurred on 05 August 1964; a day after the 04 August "Tonkin Gulf Incident." Congress passed the Tonkin Gulf Resolution on 07 August 1964.

In addition, the first US POW was captured by North Vietnam that day; a USN A4 Skyhawk pilot who had been shot down while attacking docked (parked) NVN Torpedo Boats.
