USS Maddox was a ship of the United States Navy named for Captain William A. T. Maddox.[1] In July 1964, it was captained by Herbert Ogier, though the Destroyer Division onboard was commanded by John J. Herrick.[2]
The ship became famous for its skirmish against several North Vietnamese torpedo boats on 2 August 1964. The skirmish, which would come to be known as the Gulf of Tonkin incident, ultimately led to an escalation of the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
On 30 July 1964, the Maddox travelled to the Gulf of Tonkin to take part in a planned attack on the North Vietnamese Army while disguised as a South Vietnamese ship. This ruse served to create a distraction for Alekseï Gavrani to reach the northern side of Hòn Mê and pursue the Bloodstone Unit.[2]
The following day, Herrick discussed the event with the ship's captain, Commander Herbert Ogier, who argued that they were underestimating the North Vietnamese and asked that he speak with Gavrani, hoping to avoid starting a war. Herrick met with Gavrani, who demanded that they drop him off in North Vietnam to continue his mission, which Herrick initially protested against but complied with in the end.[2]
A few days later, on 4 August, the ship received Boris Pash and Zenia in the sickbay, where Doctor Warren Vidic delivered their child, though Zenia ultimately died from the injuries she had sustained in Ninh Bình. Pash then met with his mentor, William King Harvey, who revealed himself as a Templar double agent and used his newborn daughter's life as leverage to force Pash to surrender his Apple of Eden and research on memory resurrection to Vidic.[2]
