The "Gulf of Tonkin Incident" was cited as the casus belli for the USA to commit ground forces to the war in Vietnam. It refers to 2 claimed incidents involving the naval destroyer USS Maddox on 2 and 4 August 1964 respectively. According to an NSA investigation which was declassified in 2010, only one of the claimed incidents actually took place. [1]
