The following day, Ogier discussed the event with Captain John J. Herrick, arguing that they were underestimating the North Vietnamese and asking that he speak with Gavrani, hoping to avoid starting a war.[2] On 2 August, tensions grew further between the North Vietnamese forces and the Amercians. During the confrontation, Herrick commanded Ogier to open fire on the Vietnamese torpedo boats. The incident would later become known as the Gulf of Tonkin incident.[3]
