A superbly illustrated examination of how the US Navy's most
powerful fleet fought the Vietnam War, covering all of its elements
from aircraft carriers and heavy cruisers to minesweepers and
oilers. The US Navy's Seventh Fleet was at the forefront of
America's campaign in Vietnam for a decade, from the Gulf of Tonkin
Incident that began it all to the final evacuation of South
Vietnam. Its mission was highly strategic, and while its primary
role was to provide carrier-based air power over North Vietnam –
from Rolling Thunder through Linebacker – the fleet's operations
were complex, sensitive, and varied, and required all the
capabilities of the fleet. This book is the first overall
examination of how US Navy's most powerful fleet fought and
operated in Vietnam. Distilled from thousands of declassified
secret documents by renowned US Navy specialist Dr Edward J.
Marolda, it offers a unique new portrait of how the Seventh Fleet
fought the Vietnam War, from the offensive strike power of naval
aviation to the vital role of fleet logistics. As well as the
carrier operations, he examines the surface combatant fleet's
gunfire support role, and its raids against the North Vietnamese
coast. Dr Marolda also looks at amphibious warfare, fleet air
defense, search-and-rescue, and mining and interdiction operations.
Illustrated throughout with archive photos, 3D diagrams and
spectacular new artwork, and informed by never-before-translated
official documents, publications, and personal accounts from North
Vietnamese, Soviet, and Chinese sources, this is the real story
behind the US Navy's Vietnam War.
