Yes, the USN battleship USS New Jersey fired nearly 6,000 rounds of 16" shells on the gunline in Vietnam.

USN airmen flew F8 Crusaders, A6 Intruders, A7 Corsairs, A4 Skyhawks, F4 Phantom IIs and A1 Skyraiders on bombing missions thru-out North & South Vietnam.

The USN operated its Brown Water Navy (Riverine Forces) in South Vietnam. The navy's riverine force consisted of Monitors, PBRs, and Swift Boats.

With those facts given, the US Navy was a vital part of the US war efforts. The navy's ability to transport soldiers and supplies was needed. And, the aircraft carriers were additional offensive weapons.
