The US Navy's Seventh Fleet played a crucial role in the Vietnam War, serving as the primary carrier-based air power provider over North Vietnam for a decade. Its mission was highly strategic, and while its primary role was to provide air power, the fleet's operations were complex, sensitive, and varied, requiring all the capabilities of the fleet. This book is the first overall examination of how the US Navy's most powerful fleet fought and operated in Vietnam. Distilled from thousands of declassified secret documents by renowned US Navy specialist Dr. Edward J. Marolda, it offers a unique new portrait of how the Seventh Fleet fought the Vietnam War, from the offensive strike power of naval aviation to the vital role of fleet logistics. As well as the carrier operations, he examines the surface combatant fleet's gunfire support role and its raids against the North Vietnamese coast. Dr. Marolda also looks at the fleet's intelligence-gathering and surveillance capabilities, as well as its role in the evacuation of South Vietnam. The book includes a wealth of photographs, maps, and artwork, making it an excellent introduction to a complex conflict and the operational lessons learnt. - Professor Andrew Lambert, Laughton Professor of Naval History, Kings College London
