USS Maddox
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 John J. Herrick.[2]
In the end of that month the Maddox participated in the deception of attacking the North Vietnamese Army disguised as South Vietnamese combatants to create a distraction for Alekseï Gavrani to reach the northern side of Hòn Mê.
On July 31, the day after it, Herrick discussed the event with another member of the crew, 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 they drop him off in North Vietnam to continue his mission, which Herrick protested but complied in the end.[2]
On August, the ship received Boris Pash and Zenia in their sickbay and Doctor Warren Vidic delivered their child, though Zenia died from the injuries she sustained in Ninh Bình.[2]
