During the Vietnam War, the U.S. Navy conducted numerous Far East cruises as part of its involvement in the conflict. These cruises were typically deployments of Navy task forces and carrier strike groups to the waters of Southeast Asia and the Gulf of Tonkin, where they supported operations in Vietnam.The Far East cruises of the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War had several key objectives:Carrier-Based Air Support: The Navy deployed aircraft carriers to the waters off Vietnam to provide close air support to ground forces. Carrier-based aircraft conducted airstrikes against enemy targets, including infrastructure, supply routes, and enemy positions. They played a crucial role in supporting ground operations and interdicting enemy activities.Naval Gunfire Support: U.S. Navy warships, including cruisers and destroyers equipped with powerful guns, provided naval gunfire support to ground forces. They conducted fire missions to suppress enemy positions, assist in amphibious landings, and provide fire support to troops engaged in combat operations.Maritime Interdiction: The Navy conducted maritime interdiction operations to prevent the flow of supplies and reinforcements to the enemy. This included patrolling coastal waters, intercepting enemy vessels, and conducting searches for contraband or suspicious activities.Air Defense: Navy ships deployed during the Far East cruises also played a crucial role in providing air defense for the carrier strike groups and other naval assets operating in the area. They were equipped with surface-to-air missile systems and anti-aircraft guns to defend against enemy air threats.These Far East cruises were part of the broader U.S. military strategy in Vietnam, aimed at supporting ground operations, interdicting enemy logistics, and protecting friendly forces and installations. The Navy's presence and capabilities in the region provided critical firepower, air support, and maritime security to assist in achieving the overall objectives of the war effort.
