A Navy Rescue in the Gulf of Tonkin

During the Gulf of Tonkin incident in July 1967, the USS Forrestal (CVA-59) suffered catastrophic damage from massive fires and a series of explosions on its flight deck. As the crew fought to save the carrier, the USS Rupertus (DD-851) maneuvered alongside to provide critical emergency assistance during the crisis. This operation remains a notable example of naval support during one of the most severe disasters experienced by a U.S. aircraft carrier in the modern era.
