Haiphong Harbor was where the Soviet Union and Red Chinese, and other communist countries supporting North Vietnam, were unloading their SAM missiles, radar equipment, tanks, ammunition, and other war supplies. Previous presidents were reluctant to kill/wound Soviet/Communist Chinese merchant seaman or technicians (for fear of the Soviet/Chinese entrance into the Vietnam War), but President Nixon was hard core (tough & angry), and at this STAGE OF THE WAR wanted to end it, and MOST PROBABLY made some hints to both the Soviets & Red China that he was going to bomb Haiphong, and they MOST LIKELY believed him; and more than probably, made sure that they (Soviets/Red Chinese) stayed clear of the Harbor when the strikes came. Nixon was also a very experienced diplomat, so he probably knew that there would be little chance of wounding any Soviet/Red Chinese personnel during the strikes, since he also probably knew that THEY KNEW that he MEANT IT!
