American Naval Forces In The Vietnam War

Naval forces saw action from the beginning to the end of the Vietnam War. Cruisers, destroyers, and a battleship supported ground troops with naval gunfire. Aircraft carriers played a key role in the air war over Vietnam. Navy and Coast Guard forces patrolled the seas and the inland waterways of South Vietnam, interrupting enemy supply lines, while Marines played a major part in the ground war, and U.S. Navy special forces known as SEALs targeted the leaders of the Viet Cong guerrilla fighters.
