Which of the following events occurred before or during the Gulf of Tonkin Incident on August 4?
I cannot remember much about this event but here is what I am sure of:
The Maddox and Turner Joy fired into the dark in the direction of what they thought were torpedo boats. (True)
The Maddox and Turner Joy reported objects approaching them in the water. (True)

President Johnson announced to the American people that the United States had been supporting covert raids on North Vietnam. (This is not true, I believe this was applied to the south.)

James Stockdale spotted North Vietnamese torpedo boats approaching the Turner Joy. (Maybe true or false, I am not sure. I believe false though, I think it was the USS Maddox that was targeted.)
