The US Navy was involved from start to finish in Vietnam, because it did nearly all of the transporting. One must remember, that today's hi-tech airliners and air transport planes did NOT exist in the 1950's & 1960's. The C-141 Starlifter and C-5 Galaxy existed, along with the workhorse C-130 Hercules, etc. But sea vessels remained the primary method of moving men & equipment to war zones.
