Commander Herbert L. Ogier, Jr. (c. 1923 – 2002) was a member of the United States Navy stationed aboard the USS Maddox in July 1964, of which he was the captain of.
Biography
Commander Ogier, along with the rest of the Maddox crew, participated in a ruse on July 30 whereby they attacked the North Vietnamese Army while disguised as South Vietnamese combatants. This served to create a diversion for Alekseï Gavrani to reach the northern side of Hòn Mê.[2]
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, Captain John J. Herrick commanded Ogier to open fire on the Vietnamese torpedo boats. The incident would later become known as the Gulf of Tonkin incident.[3]
