Memories For This Unit
Other Memories 4 Aug 1964: During the night, two destroyers on Desoto Patrol, USS Turner Joy (DD-951) and USS Maddox (DD-731), believing themselves under attack by North Vietnamese motor torpedo boats, called for air support. Several A-1H Skyraiders from the squadron, along with several F-8 Crusaders, were launched from USS Ticonderoga (CVA-14). Commander George H. Edmondson and Lieutenant Jere A. Barton reported gun flashes and bursts of light at their altitude which they felt came from enemy antiaircraft fire.
